Sabbath Rowdyism Duty Of the Secular
Press.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Seeing very timely and welput paragraph in
your issue of Tuesday under the above heading, it
seemed to me that the suggestion at the close, viz.
that either the pulpit must be more practical in its
efforts to reform human nature or the police au-
thOrities must be more active in subdulng the
savage passions, &C., or else the Sabbath Will be-
come day OF blood aud crime rather than Of peace
rest and holiness" 1t seemed TO that this timely
suggestion should be extended to take in the secular
press OF the day. Let the secular press instead OF
INDUCING IN nings and inuendos at the pulpit and
the gospel and making mock OF the God-given IN
strumentalities to subdue mems passions, let it
stretch out arm OF influence and WELD Its mighty
power on the side Of truth, religion and the Sabbath
and It VIII not only accomplish vast amount OF
he nSer te o o Of as TO point
Where stands the secular press on the question Of
Sabbath reiorms Where on the question OF the
show how absurd the cry against the pulpit while
the press with Its myriad tongues hounds on the
dreadful work Of manufacturing and vending the
innaming stuff that sets mems passions on fire.
Why support the trafic that makes and vends the
material TO set mans body and soul on f1re. ana
then with q kind or mock solemnity call upon the
pulpit to put out the iamef Why should not the
press come TO the help Of the pulpit and reach out
on oil sides where the pulpit cannot, and manfuly
take, not only the side OF law and order but OF
morality and religion, and help to remove the cause
OF sabbath rowdysm and the rowdysm will then
go down OF itselfY Take away the props and the
rotten fabric must fall. The secular press done
much and ought to do much more in this direction
There Is something more for 1t to do than merely 10

The world has wants and woes which the Divine
arm alone can remove. The press is power when
welded on the side OF truth aud morality, and a
responsible power. Let It, then take hold and help
on the work OF subdung mems hellish passions, and
