Call for National Fast Amid Financial Depression

The Christian at Work of Feb. 4, calls upon the President of the United States to appoint a day of fasting and prayer on account of the long-continued financial depression of the country, and the suffering of all classes therefrom. It compares this to affliction by Asiatic cholera, yellow fever, drought, or devastation by locusts, and says that “thousands of our merchant princes are at their wits’ end, and the poorer classes are ground under appalling destitution.”
