SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.

AT a Meeting of Ministers and Elders connected wi
Churches of different Denominations in Glasgow at

its Neighbourhood, held at Glasgow this 23d day ofNovem-
ber, 1841, called to receive an Official Communication in
reply to the Memorial addressed by them to the Honourable
Board of Directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway
Company against the Running of Sabbath Trains,—
WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., in the Chair,—
_ _

. .
The Rev. Dr. SYMINGTON opened the Meeting with prayer.
The Meeting having fully considered the said communica-
tion, unanimously resolved as follows :
I. That this Meeting have learned, with profound regret
and serious alarm, that " the Directors have come to the

determination of leaving the question of Sunday Travelling
to be decided by the Shareholders, intimating at the same
time their own opinion, that there ought to be a Train in
the morning and evening, but under such regulations as shall
enable the servants of the Company, and all persons travel-
ling by the Railway, to attend Divine service."
. . .

11. That, adhering to the views on this vitally important
question, which they had felt themselves called upon, as
guardians of the moral and spiritual welfare of the commu-
nity, to press in their Memorial upon the attention of the
Directors of the Railway Company, they now consider them-
selves bound to urge the same views immediately, and with
equal earnestness, upon the Shareholders, with whom the
decision of the question is to rest, in the hope that they may
be induced to withhold their sanction from a course which
would do direct violence to a Divine command, contravene,
as is confidently believed, the law of. Scotland, outrage the
best feelings of the Scottish people, and inflict a serious and
lasting injury on the welfare of this part of the United King-
dom.
111. That, as the running of Sabbath Trains on the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway would prevent a large portion of
the Christian public of Scotland from making use of it at all
—bound, as very many would feel themselves to be, whatever
personal disadvantage, to withhold their countenance and
support from a Company which sanctioned and required, be
Sabbath traffic, the desecration of the Lord's day—this
Meeting feel that, in order to be provided against the possibly
disappointment of their anxious wishes on this subject, they
are driven to the necessity of adopting measures to ascertain
what other lines of communication may be open to them, in
the event of so great a calamity taking place.
IV. That a Committee be appointed to prepare the Me-
morial to the Shareholders, and generally to adopt all com-
• petent means for giving
WILLIAM CObo
LLINS, Chairman.
