It was incorporated in May, 1895. Bishop R. S. Foster was elected its first president and served until January 1, 1897, when Senator George F. Hoar accepted the presidency. In January, 1905, Hon. John D. Long was elected President of the League in place of Senator Hoar, who served faithfully and efficiently for eight years, until his death. On the resignation of Mr. Long, Ex-Gov. John L. Bates was elected President in January, 1910, and Mr. Long was made Honorary Life Director. At the same time its name was changed from the New England Sabbath Protective League. Additions have been made from time to time to its strong official boards, representing the different denominations and sympathetic organizations. Its work has been practical and far-reaching, along wise, conservative lines. It has received and retained the endorsement and co-operation of the best elements of the six New England states. It confidently appeals to the public, as deserving the patronage of all friends of the Lord's Day. OBJECT "ITS OBJECT shall be to maintain the observance of the Lord's Day as a civil rest day and a day for religious uses," DEFENDING it against the encroachments of business and pleasure. METHODS ITS METHODS include ORGANIZATION and AGITATION, INSTRUCTION by press, pulpit and platform, EDUCATION of the young and morally ignorant, the PROTECTION and ENFORCEMENT of Sunday laws, and the securing of BETTER LEGISLATION in the interests of the workingman and of good citizenship. FINANCES ITS WORK must be supported almost entirely by private and public donations as it has no adequate endowment. It is inter-denominational, including twelve or more denominations in its list of officers and members. In order to introduce its important claims to the public, and enable it in the meantime to meet current office expenses, publish its organ, THE DEFENDER, and distribute it and other Sabbath literature, convene and hold rallies, conventions and field-days in different parts of New England, help preserve our present laws and seek better ones,—a guarantee fund is necessary. To raise this, attention is called to the three forms of membership given below: Life Membership. $100.00 Sustaining Membership Annual Membership Subscription for Defender 10.00 1.00 .50 Will friends of the Lord's Day kindly send us memberships and subscriptions?
