Instructive Orders by Washington,
Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson
BY BISHOP WARREN A. GAMBLER.

On January 20, President Wilson is
sued the following order
The president, commander in chief Of
the army and navy, following the rever-
ent example of his predecessors, desires
and enjoins the orderly observance oil
the Sabbath by the officers and men in
the military and naval service of the
United States. The Importance for man
and beast of the prescribed weekly rest,
the sacred rights of Christian soldiers
and sailors, a becoming dictated by the
best traditions of Christian people, and
a due regard for the Divine Will, de-
mand that Sunday labor in the army
and navy be reduced to the measure of
StricteS" necessity.
Such an observance of Sunday is die
tated by the best traditions of our peo>
pie and by the convictions of all who
look to Divine Providence for guidance
and protection, and, in repeating in this
order the language of President Lin
ocln, the president is confident that he
is speaking alike to the hearts and to
the consciences of those under his au-
thority.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
The president evidently had in mind
similar orders issued by General Wash
ington and President Lincoln.
In August, 1876, at the beginning of
the War or Independence, General
Washington said in a general order:
That the troops may have an op.
portunity of attending public worship
as well as to take some rest after the
great fatigue they have gone through,
the general, in future, excuses them
from fatigue duty on Sundays, except
at the shipyards, or on special occa-
sions, until further orders. We
can have little hope of the blessing OF
Heaven on our arms. if we insult IL
by our impiety and folly"
On November IS, 1852 President Lin
coin issued the following order in re-
gard to the observance of the Sabbath
90 The President, Commander -in-chie
of the Army and Navy, desires and en-
joins the orderly observance of the Sab
bath by the officers and men in the mil!
