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.
