Excerpt from The People's Day: An Appeal to the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, Against His Advocacy of a French SundayWhen your Lordship has darkened the light of the Sab bath in forty English homes, only the first blow is struck. Your twenty thousand Sunday visitors must, as Mr. Goulburn truly said, come, for the most part, from some distance. To bring them to the spot, many poor servants of van-owners would then find the Lord's day a working day, and, instead of a call toward heaven, a call to barter away home, repose, and religion. Many omnibus men, to whom some mise rable shred of a Sunday morning, for a longer sleep and a leisurely breakfast, had remained as a slender token that God has some care for a poor man, would find even that gone. Probably your Lordship has never heard an omnibus man say, with a jerk of his reins, Us - no one believes as we have got any souls. They give us one Sunday in five, and it is not enough to make up sleep, worked like we are. Gentlemen can afford to have souls.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
