Borden, Supt. Transport a- A. C. L., Wilmington, N. C. We, the ministers of Greenville, I understand that certain citizens; of this town have petitioned for a Sunday train between Weldon and Kinston. In answer to said I petition, we beg leave to present the following considerations and counter The Sabbath, the church, the home are institutions that have come down from the age with divine authority, and there is a vital relation between them. The welfare of the nation depends upon of the home. The preservation of all that is best in the home the nation depends upon the of the Sabbath. The great moral and spiritual which preserve the of the home and secure the welfare of the j are maintained largely, if not altogether, by the proper the Sabbath day and its entire consecration to the worship of God. History shows that in proportion as any nation has dis- regarded the fundamental law of the Sabbath its moral forces have declined, its people have and its prosperity has declined also. There can be no doubt that the and substantial growth of our Christian civilization hinge upon the proper observance of the Lord's day in to the divine decree regarding it. In view of these facts we hereby respectfully express our said Sunday train, and that it be not put in op- believing, as we do, that it will have a demoralizing effect the towns along the route. We know of no town along this line of railroad that suffers want of a Sunday train, we earnestly, hope that your railroad company will not put such in operation. F. A. Bishop, Presiding Elder, Wash.
