Meetings Being Held TO Promote the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath.

Rev. Martin ID. Kneeland, d. D., secretary
of the Kew England Sabbath Protective
League, spoke upon Sabbath observance, in
the Broad Street Baptist Church yesterday
forenoon. Rev. Mr.. Perry, the pastor, who
conducted the opening exercises stated that
they would change the usual order little 50
as TO give DIR. kneeland as much time as pos
sibe. TIE doctor read appropriate scripture
selections from the Old and the New Tosta-
ments, and Rev. Mr.. Perry offered prayer.
DR.. Kneeland chose as his text the first line
OF the 5Sth chapter of ISAIAH. After a pleasant
introduction the sunday neswpaper received
some attention, which was not of "A hopeful
character. The secularization of the Sabbath
was scored as most dangerous evil. The
litany of the church was deprecated, etc.
And the passimist received attention also.

of God.

version of the liberty Roger Williams incul-
Gated.

bath Protective League the newspapers were
rather shy of commanding the movement. Now

than three editorials commenting the work of
the league. The Sunday excursion boats and
trains were not ovorl, okcd by the SPEAKER. In
Massachusetts they have tccn stopped.
The salutary effect OF the work OF the league
in ITS growth has been phenomenal
