A few lines against the opening of the Crystal Palace on the Sabbath day 62206 [Author: John Elwin Wrench] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/0/62206 ] [Files: 62206-0.txt; 62206-h.htm] For those wishing to know: a very short poem, published 1853, as part of the public debate as to whether the Crystal Palace should be allowed to open on Sunday. Transcribed more for the novelty of using a poem to make a point rather than any poetic quality! All the best, David Sunny England

The People's Palace and the Religious World, by A Layman 62205 [Subtitle: thoughts on public agitation against the promised charter to the new Crystal Palace Company, and on "Sabbath desecration"] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/0/62205 ] [Files: 62205-0.txt; 62205-h.htm ] For those wishing to know: this pamphlet (published around 1853 by a member of the Church of England) looks at the public outcry about the possible Sunday afternoon opening of the Crystal Palace for the working classes. The writer points out there are already many things open on Sunday (e.g. public pleasure grounds, inns, Sunday trains etc.) and that opening only in the afternoons was a concession that wasn't required of the Company. Whilst written around 170 years ago, it takes a modern outlook on the matter. All the best, David, Sunny and windy England

The Sabbath, by John Martindale Farrar 62204 [Subtitle: a sermon preached in Holy Trinity Church, Hurdsfield, on Sunday Evening, January 30, 1853] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/0/62204 ] [Files: 62204-0.txt; 62204-h.htm] For those wishing to know: when the Government was minded to open the Crystal Palace (1853) to the public on Sunday afternoons there was a large outcry from the religious groups and many pamphlets, books etc. written. However, it was also denounced in sermons across the country, of which this is one, from Hurdsfield, Macclesfield, Cheshire. Unlike many of the pamphlets this was "preaching to the converted" and Farrar uses the Bible a lot more than the others. All the best, David England, still windy with thick clouds, but also sunny

The Divided Sabbath, by William Jowett 62203 [Subtitle: remarks concerning the Crystal Palace now erecting at Sydenham] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/2/0/62203 ] [Files: 62203-0.txt; 62203-h.htm] For those wishing to know: another contribution on to the debate on whether the Crystal Palace should be allowed to open on Sunday afternoons for the working classes of London (this was 1852). In this the Rev. Jowett makes a theological point that you cannot split the Sabbath into two parts, and have a morning where everyone should go to church, and an afternoon for enjoying yourself. He also cites that Sabbath opening would mean increased traffic on the railways, which folk were trying to stop running on the Sabbath as well. All the best, David, England with winds, blue skies, and raindrops on the window
