Excerpt from The Sabbath-Day: An Address to the Members of the Working Men's College, 31, Red Lion Square, on Sunday Excursions

At the Meeting before the beginning of this Term it was proposed that the Members of the College, or as many of them as found it convenient, should make some excursions into the country. One of them was to be led by an Entomologist, one by a Botanist, one by a Geologist. A conversation arose about the day which would be best for the students as well as the teachers. A Saturday was fixed upon for the first excursion. Then one of the students suggested, with great quietness and modesty, that he could see no harm in making such journeys, hereafter, on a Sunday. A few showed that they agreed with the speaker; some gave signs of disapprobation. Then one of the Council, a layman, whose words have great weight with all of us, stated with much earnestness and solemnity his own experience, as a hard-working professional man, of the blessing which Sundays conferred on those who used them in seeking strength for the duties of the week. He added his opinion, that working men and professional men would both be sacrificing this benefit if they gave up the day to the pursuit of entertainment or of physical knowledge. What he said made a marked impression on the Meeting. It was also clear that many differed from him, both among the students and in the Council.
