Protest Against Sunday Newspapers
The London Christian World has entered a vigorous protest against the London Sunday edition of James Gordon Bennett's paper, the Herald. The World says that Mr. Bennett "will do well to recognize the general feeling against the publication of the new London edition of that paper on Sundays as well as week-days. It is an intensely unpleasant and dangerous, as well as an unnecessary, innovation." Prominent ministers of almost all denominations, including Archdeacon Farrar, Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the Bishop of Ripon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, and Drs. Dale, Allan, and Parker, have also spoken against the innovation, but still the Sunday edition of the Herald is published. Referring to this matter the Christian at Work says: "We could wish Mr. Bennett would discontinue a publication which so greatly offends a pronounced public sentiment. But we fear there is as little probability of that as there is that the tide of the Indian Ocean will climb to the peaks of the Himalayas."
