But to us, who make little change in dress or observances, it is very easy in time to forget that the day is Sunday at all. Now it is just as essential to our physical well-being as to that of the laboring man that on one day of the week we lay aside the cares and toil of the other six days. Many a student learns this lesson too late.

A student should employ his Sundays in physical refreshment, intellectual enlargement, and acquaintance with religion.
