Brooks has prepared a series of interesting handbooks. The materials +have been gleaned chiefly from old newspapers of Boston and Salem, sources +not easily accessible, and while not professing to be history, the volumes +contain much material for history, so combined and presented as to be both +amusing and instructive. The titles of some of the volumes indicate their +scope and their promise of entertainment:—</p> + +<p> +<span class="smcap"> Curiosities of the Old Lottery.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap"> Days of the Spinning-Wheel.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap"> Some Strange and Curious Punishments.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap"> Quaint and Curious Advertisements.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap"> Literary Curiosities.</span><br /> +<span class="smcap"> New-England Sunday, etc.</span><br /> +</p> + +<hr style='width: 25%;' /> + +<p>"It has been the good fortune of the writer to be allowed a peep at the +manuscript for this series, and he can assure the lovers of the historical and +the quaint in literature that something both valuable and pleasant is in store +for them.

He said that many families in Boston, both +poor and rich, depended on milk to feed their children—that +a large proportion of the people had no conveniences +for keeping it from Saturday night till +Monday morning; that those who had no other way +of disposing of their milk, but by delivering it to those +who would suffer without it, performed an act embracing +both <i>necessity</i> and <i>mercy</i>; that those who sat +up all night for the purpose of being up before day, +to fatten on those who were performing the before-named +charitable act, were like the Jews of old, who, +when the Saviour of mankind raised the dead and +restored the blind to sight, cried out, Crucify him! +the Jews were but the M'Clures of the present day.</p> + +<p>The Judge (<span class="smcap">Mitchell</span>) charged the jury, that, if +they had doubts whether any offence were proved to +have been committed, within the county, they must +acquit; or, if otherwise, and they were of opinion +that it was necessary to deal out milk on the Sabbath +in extreme hot weather, they must acquit. He stated +that his neighbours bought milk of him, and took it +on Sunday as on other days, and thought it no crime. +He did not cast up the score, receive the money and +rub out the chalks on that day; but apprehended that +his conduct was virtually the same as that charged +upon the defendant. The defendant pursued his +regular course, and in doing so, he saved his property +from waste, and relieved many from disappointment +and distress. The clergy ride from town to town on +the Sabbath, and the physicians ride without molestation. +The Sabbath is a day of rest—but in the exercise +of its duties, reason is to be regarded. Such +worldly concerns as can well be done on other days, +ought not to be done on the Sabbath—but if an ox +fall into a pit, he must be taken out; that if a clergyman +has agreed to exchange with a brother, he may +as well ride a few miles on the Sabbath as to make a +parade of going on Saturday night.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 37]</a></span> +The jury returned a verdict of—NOT GUILTY.</p></div> + +<hr style='width: 25%;' /> + +<p><span class="smcap">Observance of the Sabbath.</span> There has been +lately, in some of the Boston papers, a discussion of +the question, whether the sailing of a steam boat on +the Sabbath is not a profanation.</p> + +<p>We allude to this subject, at the present time, not +for the purpose of taking a side in the controversy, +but merely to show in what manner this day was +formerly noticed in England, and our own country.</p> + +<p>In England, during the reign of James the first, it +was lawful for his subjects to indulge in certain sports, +such as dancing, archery, leaping, vaulting, may-games, +whitsun ales, and morris dances, on <i>Sunday</i> +after evening service.

Twenty-five years ago it +was rare to see a person belonging to one of +the Evangelical sects at the post-office at the +time of the opening of the mail on Sunday +noon; whereas now it is not uncommon to see +deacons and numerous other members of such +churches hurry from their several places of +worship to get their letters and papers with as +much eagerness as "heretics." Sunday papers +moreover are now bought by the same class. +The same change too is observable in the use +of horse-cars on Sunday. Few men are governed +by the conscientious scruples once held +about riding to and from church, especially if +the day happens to be hot or stormy.

It will be said that this man +was an exception to the general rule. Perhaps +so, for one taking such an extreme view; but +we must all know cases somewhat similar. A +careful inquiry will show that if we look around +among the clergy even, we shall find that the +most radical preachers of the day were brought +up in the Orthodox ranks. Who would wish +to re-establish the gloomy Puritan Sabbath, +with its barren meeting-house, without fires or +music, and its tedious, uninteresting sermon, +running on to "fifteenthly," gauged by an +hour-glass turned over perhaps once or twice +during the discourse?</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_53" id="Page_53">[Pg 53]</a></span> +Speaking of the change of habits in New +England, even, it is noticeable how much more +prevalent colds and other slight indispositions +are now to what they used to be on Sunday. +The very thought of going to church makes +some people cough or have a headache. +Theatres or concerts never seem to affect these +people in the same way. Even the weather, +which keeps people in-doors on Sunday, never +keeps them in on other days.</p> + +<p>Our own view of the subject is that while +we should be glad to see more interest taken +in public worship than there is at present, we +think people should have the right of spending +their Sundays in their own way,—always, of +course, provided they do not interfere with the +rights and feelings of others. It seems to us +that the only way to have Sunday properly +observed is for those who are influential to +make some little personal sacrifices, if need be, +to attend the Sunday services, and do all they +can to promote the most cheerful views of religion +and make the services interesting.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[Pg 54]</a></span> +Let those people who lament the decay of +religious observances read the following quotation +from the "Salem Gazette" of 1830. +Those who can recollect how it was at that date +must see that notwithstanding a perhaps much +smaller attendance now upon public worship, +there is every reason to believe that, at least as +far as the native population is concerned, Sunday +is really more quiet than it was then.

The +revolutionary war left the whole country as well depraved +in morals as exhausted in resources. This +was particularly the case with such towns as Salem, +which had been largely exposed to the irresistibly +corrupting influence of privateering.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_55" id="Page_55">[Pg 55]</a></span> +At that time, when the population of Salem was +not half so great as it is at present, more riot, debauchery, +and vice, obtruded themselves upon the sight +in a week, than could now be discovered by diligent +search in a month. The corruption of manners was +so general, that almost none escaped from its contaminating +influence. Mechanics and other laboring +men would leave their business in the day, and their +families in the evening, to spend their time, dancing +and drinking, in the dens of pollution which then +abounded in "Naugus-Hole" and "Button-Hole." +Merchants, professional men, &c. passed a great part +of their time in taverns, drinking and gambling. +Quarrelling and fighting there were not uncommon, +and well-worn packs of cards were always lying about +the bar-room tables, (though seldom long unemployed,) +ready for the use of visitors,—the common +game on these occasions being All-Fours, and the +common stake a bowl of punch or a mug of flip. Pastimes +like the above named, were current in every +class of society. When the regular hours of drinking +approached, the workmen left their labour to play at +cards, the loser "treating the shop's crew." In a +large establishment a boy would be kept running with +his jug nearly the whole time, the contents being +freely shared amongst master, journeymen, boys, and +numerous visitors.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_56" id="Page_56">[Pg 56]</a></span> +At this time, and long afterward, infamous houses +were kept open day and night, in the quarters of the +town named in the preceding paragraph. The fiddles +were kept in constant motion, and if any thought of +stopping them they did not dare to attempt it. The +most flagrant disorders and outrages were continually +occurring, so that a timid man would go far out of +his way to avoid passing near those places. The +churches on Sunday were not nearly so well attended +as they now are. The proportion of persons who +made the Sabbath a day of recreation, was much +greater. The time was spent in riding into the +country, walking about the fields and pastures, and +visiting friends in town. But little order was preserved +in the streets on that day. People in passing +to meeting thro' Prison Lane, (as County-street was +then called) and its environs, encountered frequent +and large groups of men and boys, noisily engaged in +gambling with props, pitching coppers, &c. occasionally +enlivened by the uproar of a quarrel.</p> + +<p>The doctrines of Tom Paine and his French coadjutors, +were much more in vogue then than now. +Infidelity stalked over the land with a giant stride, to +which the mincing pace of the fooleries of Fanny +Wright can bear no comparison; and virtue and good +order were almost put out of countenance. Intemperance, +habitual or occasional, was so common, as to +be hardly considered a matter of reproach; and the +kindred vices abounded, which usually follow in its +train.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_57" id="Page_57">[Pg 57]</a></span> +The state of society has been continually improving +since. The bad habits of that time have been +discarded one after another, by all who would maintain +a reputable standing; and open immorality now +places a man at once in the lowest rank of society. Intemperance +has been diminished in a surprising degree. +Debauchery has been compelled to retreat to lurking +holes and corners, instead of obtruding its "horrid +front" to the public gaze. Education has been improved, +and universally diffused; and public worship +is more generally attended.—Terrible crimes have +indeed been committed amongst us, and may be +again, but the habits and manners which lead to +crime, are less prevalent at the present time than +they have been for fifty years before.</p></div> + +<p>It seems to us to be clearly a mistake for +those of ultra-liberal notions to suppose that +all who cannot assent to their views of Sunday +must of necessity be either Pharisees or hypocrites,—quite +as great a mistake as that of the +ultra-conservatives, who condemn as wicked +all who do not believe in a puritanical observance +of Sunday.</p> + +<p>Whatever we may think or say or do, people +nowadays will not be forced to attend church. +Among all denominations the services are more +attractive than they once were, and every year +there is less and less of the repulsive kinds of +doctrine preached. But in spite of this, while +many men regard attendance on divine service +as both a pleasure and a privilege, there are +others, and they not few, whom no influence +or persuasion can induce to attend Sunday +worship. Such persons must be left to spend +the day as they please.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_58" id="Page_58">[Pg 58]</a></span> +A very large proportion of those who do +not attend church services are people of culture +and character, from whom church-goers have +nothing to fear as regards a disturbance of +their worship. Generally this class are interested +in having Sunday kept as a day of quiet +and rest, and their non-attendance at church +is no evidence that they have any desire to +secularize Sunday.</p> + +<p>An eminent writer has said: "We live in a +transition period, when the old faiths which +comforted nations, and not only so, but made +nations, seem to have spent their force.... +There is faith in chemistry, in meat and +wine, in wealth, in machinery, in the steam-engine, +galvanic battery, turbine-wheels, sewing-machines, +and in public opinion; but not +in divine causes.... A silent revolution has +loosed the tension of the old religious sects, +and in place of the gravity and permanence of +those societies of opinion, they run into freak +and extravagance.... In creeds never was +such levity: witness the heathenisms in Christianity,—the +periodic revivals, the millennium +mathematics, the peacock ritualism, the retrogression +to popery, the maundering of Mormons, +the squalor of mesmerism, the deliration +of rappings, the rat-and-mouse revelation, +thumps in table-drawers, and black art ... By +the irresistible maturing of the general mind +the Christian traditions have lost their hold."</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_59" id="Page_59">[Pg 59]</a></span> +If these statements are true, we have a sufficient +answer to the question so often asked: +"Why do not people go to church as they once +did?" They do not go because they have +lost their faith in churches and worship,—at +least such have as are appealed to from those +holding liberal and reasonable views. There +are no doubt men who consider the too often +expensive ways in which churches are supported +as altogether beyond their means. The +demands of civilization upon individuals in +these restless times, when there are so many +organizations, secret, secular, and religious, are +indeed too great for small incomes, especially +as the cost of food is continually increasing, +and as society in other ways makes so many +secular demands upon them. Public worship +is after all, in the view of many persons, not a +necessity, but only a luxury which can easily +be dispensed with. It might perhaps have +been better for the whole community if churches +had undertaken to do the work which is now +in the hands of many charitable and secret +societies; then those who take so much interest +in these outside, often expensive, organizations +would have had all their interest in the +churches. But the latter were for years so +divided on doctrines of belief that their whole +attention has for the most part been directed to +other matters than their legitimate work, which +has thus been thrown into the hands of outside +agencies. In these times it seems difficult +to maintain religious societies except where the +element of fear is dominant in the creed, where +some remarkable preacher takes the attention, +or where the ritual or fashion attracts. Do not +the papers often speak of "fashionable" +churches?</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_60" id="Page_60">[Pg 60]</a></span> +One thing which prevents many people +from attending public worship on Sunday is +the increasing tendency towards ritualism,—or +perhaps, we should say, making the services less +instructive than formerly, and more devotional +or emotional. This is seen not only in the +Episcopal Church, but also among many other +denominations. Even Congregational Orthodox—descendants +of the Pilgrim Fathers—introduce +prayer-books and responsive services, +and make their church buildings more ecclesiastical +in appearance, to look as much as possible +like Episcopal churches. All these things to +many minds are not edifying, to say the least, +and consequently such persons absent themselves +from service. Those too who are +impressed by emotional religion join the +Episcopalians, so that for the time there is an +apparent increase in the attendance at the +Episcopal churches, gained from churches of +other denominations; and especially too as +fashion decrees nowadays that "it is the proper +thing to do" to go to the Episcopal Church, +whether you believe in its doctrines or not. +So that at length there are a great many +people who think when church-going gets to +be a matter of fashion, there is quite as much +real religion to be found outside as inside the +church; consequently they lose their interest. +All these causes must be taken together; of +course no one thing alone accounts for the +change in regard to church attendance.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_61" id="Page_61">[Pg 61]</a></span> +We quote the following remarks from a +recent English paper ("The Unitarian Herald"); +they have a direct bearing on our subject, +and are worthy of consideration by those +who neglect public worship or favor a more +secular Sunday. Among other things, the +speaker (the Rev. John Page Hopps) says:</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_62" id="Page_62">[Pg 62]</a></span> +"So far as we can see, the old orthodox believers +were right when they called public worship 'a means +of grace;' and if human experience is of any value, +it is an undoubted fact that a great multitude which +no man could number <i>have</i> felt the grace-giving influence +of it. It is as true as ever that man cannot +'live by bread alone,' but that he needs also the +'word that proceedeth from the mouth of God;' +and if it is true, as we believe, that the word of God +does come home with special force and pathos when +worship is joined in by kindred souls, the argument +for public worship, from this point of view, seems +complete. And yet, half in jest and half in earnest, +and sometimes altogether in earnest, we hear it said +that a man can worship God in the fields quite as +well as in the church. 'Perhaps he can,' said a +wise man once, 'but <i>does</i> he?' I wonder whether +we shall go on in this direction until we hear it said +that a man can worship God playing at lawn-tennis +as in attending public worship? Thus there may +actually come into existence a cant of the absentee +which shall be as really cant as the cant of the +devotee; for the use of the word 'worship' in such +instances is a glaring case of exaggeration tinged +with self-deception, which is the very essence of cant. +Besides, one of the surest notes of the worshipping +spirit is an increase of sympathy and love,—sympathy +that suggests fellowship, and love that suggests anything +but selfish isolation.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_63" id="Page_63">[Pg 63]</a></span> +"The irregularity also of attendance upon public +worship might be cited as an instance of neglect +or levity which 'personal consecration' alone can +cure. In days gone by, attendance upon public +worship was a habit, and nothing that could be +avoided was allowed to interfere with it. Twice on +the Sunday, too, was the rule, and not, as now, the +decided exception. But with many it is now becoming +once every other Sunday, or scarcely that; +with so little of 'personal consecration' in the +matter that the need for an umbrella may decide the +doubter not to go.</p> + +<p>"Do we not, again, listen too much merely for delight? +and does not the question, 'How did you like +the sermon,' or 'How did you like the service,' +indicate that we join in the service and listen to a +sermon in an entirely wrong spirit? The critical +or self-regarding spirit has its uses, but it may be +fatal to 'personal consecration' in public worship. +How often does an entire service depend upon our +own temper, our own mood, our own spirit? And +how often is it true that a congregation has as much +to do with the making of a minister as the minister +has to do with the making of a congregation?</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span> +"'If I neglect public worship, then,' a man should +say to himself, 'the community is injured, the brotherhood +is weakened, the young are confused. It is a +grave responsibility.'</p> + +<p>"But now we must not shrink from the question: +How far or how long ought these considerations to +hold the man who has lost delight in public worship +or faith in that to which it bears witness? When +should doubt make worship impossible, or unbelief +make worship wrong for the honest soul? When +should 'personal consecration' say to a man, not +<i>stay</i>, but <i>depart</i>? It is a grave question, and every +one must shape his answer for himself. All I would +say is: Give worship the benefit of the doubt: ay! +give fellow-worshippers the benefit of the doubt. +Continue with them as long as you can; if not as a +full believer, then as a devout inquirer, a gentle seeker, +a sympathetic friend. Why not? That is possible +with us; for the very bond of our union is sympathetic +regard for one another's freedom. It is also +specially possible with us because our teachings do +not, at all events, outrage the reason and shock the +moral sense. Even an agnostic might listen to us +and hope that our Gospel is true.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_65" id="Page_65">[Pg 65]</a></span> +"Special dangers call for special safeguards, special +consideration, special wariness. It is an age of +splendid advance in science, of restless energy in +business, of stupendous activity in politics, of daring +questioning everywhere. All that makes against +public worship; and yet all that makes public worship +a greater necessity and demonstrates 'the pressing +need of personal consecration' to it. God only +knows what we should do without it and the blessed +Sunday!</p></div> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">"'Dear old commemorative day,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">For weary man designed<br /></span> +<span class="i0">To help him on life's troubled way,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">To give his spirit freer play,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">To soothe his harassed mind!<br /></span> +</div><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">"'A day of worship and of grace,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">One calm, sweet day in seven,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">To grant a little breathing space<br /></span> +<span class="i0">To strengthen man life's work to face,<br /></span> +<span class="i2">And lift his life to heaven.'"<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<p>In conclusion, let us add to the above +speech the following remarks, which we +heartily approve,—</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>"Mr. Preston (London) testified to the falling off +of attendance at public worship, and he attributed +this largely to the parents not taking their children +with them in early years, as of old times.

For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/17483-h/images/crest1.jpg b/17483-h/images/crest1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b83d175 --- /dev/null +++ b/17483-h/images/crest1.jpg diff --git a/17483-h/images/image1.jpg b/17483-h/images/image1.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8ce9788 --- /dev/null +++ b/17483-h/images/image1.jpg diff --git a/17483-h/images/image2.jpg b/17483-h/images/image2.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..cdf3608 --- /dev/null +++ b/17483-h/images/image2.jpg diff --git a/17483-h/images/img1th.jpg b/17483-h/images/img1th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..72b57c7 --- /dev/null +++ b/17483-h/images/img1th.jpg diff --git a/17483-h/images/img2th.jpg b/17483-h/images/img2th.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3e5e37b --- /dev/null +++ b/17483-h/images/img2th.jpg |
