Synopsis
Excerpt from Should the Public Libraries Be Opened on Sunday?: An Address
I honor the memory of the men who kept the old Sunday; and if I thought that the steps which we make m advance would take away from the idea that on that day the Lord is especially near to men (ih' their thought, though not in fact) if I thought that they would subtract one particle of its stimulation of the best and noblest elements Of man's nature, I would never utter a word, nor by any means give my influence toward the abatement of the rigor of the Sabbath Observances. I stand here loving the day, and honoring it I honor it for what it has done for me, for my fathers, and for the community. And I say, not that there must be less Sunday, but that there must be more Sunday; not that there must be less sanc tity, but that sanctity, taking to itself humanity, must be broader and deeper; not that the church should be robbed, but that the church should know better how large is the patrimony which God has given to it 111 this day.
