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,
