Sabbath Observance

By Editor

A correspondent sends us the following from the Janesville Gazette, remarking that straws tell which way the wind blows. By Sabbath, we are of course to understand Sunday.
SABBATH OBSERVANCE.—A large meeting was held at Dr. Gurley's church, Washington, awhile since, to promote Sabbath observance in the army. Rear-Admiral Foote made a strong speech for the Sabbath and the veteran Gen. Casey said: "I have been thirty-six years in the military service and know that the army needs a Sabbath. I was five years in the Florida war. In long marches, better time will be made, and the men will go through in better condition, by resting on the Sabbath than by continuous marching. No prudent general will plan for a Sunday battle. I would appeal to the American people to save our American Sabbath. If our wealth is lost in this terrible war, it may be recovered. If our young men are killed off, others will grow up; but if our Sabbath is lost, it can never be restored, and all is lost."
