AGGRESSIVE SABBATH REFORM.
A BROTHER has sent us a copy of the Camden (N. J.) Daily Post of June 12, 1879, containing a notice of the S. D. Baptist Association just held in that place. Our readers will be interested in the following resolutions passed at the meeting:— “Resolved, That the time has come for increased effort in behalf of Sabbath reform, and we should be both aggressive and conservative; and that we should teach Sabbath truth not only by precept, but also by a well ordered life and character. And while we urge upon our young people never to forsake principle for any earthly gain or advantage, we do also urge upon our Sabbath keeping capitalists and employers the duty of giving preference to those who observe the Sabbath of our Lord. “Resolved, That the great success of the Temperance reform, which in so many States of the Union for the past few years denotes a sign of progress and token of the ultimate glorious victory, is an occasion of unbounded gratitude to God, and that it is the duty of every lover of humanity to identify himself with this labor to remove this greatest curse of the race.” They also passed a resolution urging the duty of systematic giving to sustain missionary work, and resolutions condemning the use of tobacco, and the practice of dancing. In all of which we bid them God speed.
