 The Rev. George S. Mott presided. The general 

 secretary presented his annual report, embrac-

 associations and Sabbath committees. It de-

 Sabbath-loving citizens of the republic in con- 

 centrated movements for the protection of the 

 Sunday, which was incorporated in the civil 

 structure at the beginning by our forefathers. 

 The Union embraces fourteen Christian denomi- 

 nations, and is heartily approved by many 

 statesmen, civilians, and wage earners. " The 

 masses now." the report continues. " irrespective

Resolutions were adopted recognizing the in- 

 debtedness of the society to its late President, 

 Col. Elliott F. Shepafd, recently deceased ; 

 recommending the observance of the first week
