MR. GLADSTONE ON THE SUNDAY
QUESTION.

Mr. Gladstone was on Tuesday called upon to
give his opinion on the Sunday question. WC,
deputations waited upon him, the one from the
Lord's-day Rest Association and the other from the Sun-
day League. The latter was a very numerous body. It
was composed of upwards of 150 tradesmen, artisans, and
others, who waited upon him, at the invitation of the
National Sunday League, for the purpose of urging
Government to support Mr. Gregory's motion for the
opening of the British Museum, National Gallery. and
other institutions on Sunday afternoons.
In reply to arguments in favour of the proposed altera-
tion, Mr. CrLADSTONE reminded the deputation that this
matter would be governed, not so much by the opinion of
the Administration of the day as by the current of public
opinion. He considered the function of the Government
in a matter of this kind to be much more limited
than in many subjects in connection with which they
had special means for acquiring the neces,ary informa-
tion. The Government had not yet entered upon
the consideration of the particular part which they should
take with respect to the proposal now made, but it would
be their duty to consider it carefully and anxiously. He
had given his concurrence to two points from which, as
far as he could gather, those present were not likely
to dissent. The first was, that, looking at the matter
from a religious point of view, the religious observance
of the Sunday was the principal mainstay of religion
in this country ; and the second was, that abstinence from
work on that day was of vital consequence. In connec-
tion with another point urged by the other deputation,
there was the question, to what degree would the labouring
population take advantage of the evening openings which
they (the deputation) thought was a secondary matter.
The opinion of their opponents was that the evening
openings would be largely taken advantage of, and
they referred, as a case in point, to the South London
Working Men's Exhibition. Mr. Murphy, who he had
reason to believe, was well acquainted with some of the
wishes of the working classes, had told him that there was an
average evening attendance at the exhibition of from
12,000 to 15,000 working men and their families, each
paying 2d., and that on last Saturday evening there were
no less than 4,000 persons present. Another point was
with regard to the Sunday question itself, and in refe-
rence to that, the Sabbatarians alleged that the general
feeling of the working classes was opposed to the views
of the National Sunday League. Their opponents
had stated that the return of Mr. Chambers for Maryle-
bone was influenced to a considerable- extent by the
Sunday question, and that the fact that the majority of
his supporters were opposed to the opening of museums on
Sunday might be taken as an index of the feeling enter-
tained by the people whom he represented.
