AT a large meeting held in New

or argued in favor Of opening the pub
lie Libraries on The Sabbath for the
benefit Of Working men. There is no
drubt that in al| the large cities Of the
country, the public morals would b.
greatly improved by bringing the poor
or classes into more easy and direct con-
tact with influences which elevate and
refine, ana that the Sabbath may prop.
crly be devoted to secular reading and
general improvement Not that the
great purpose for which the Sabbath
was instituted will be best subserved BY
this means, for We al agree that the
day was designed as a period Of rest
from all that is secular, and ought so to
be recognized and observed. Men
must be guided to great extent by cir
cnmstacees. II the condition of socic-

qualities, are not inhcxible. They are
