THE OLDEN TIME SERIES


NEW ENGLAND SUNDAY


"Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week."—Longfellow.

"What greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship? Then all things go to decay."—Emerson.

"There are some moody fellows, not a few,
Who, turn'd by Nature with a gloomy bias,
Renounce black devils to adopt the blue,
And think when they are dismal they are pious."

Hood.

"Sundays observe; think when the bells do chime
'Tis angel's music."

Herbert.
