Sabbath Prize Essay Movement Drives Working Class Reform
A London meeting praises the Sabbath prize essay movement led by Mr. Oakey and supports working men forming Sabbath Protection Committees. It notes rapid expansion across Scotland and England, with thousands of essays from working men, prizes distributed through multiple societies, and aims to popularise Sabbath observance, education, and moral welfare. The speakers urge continued effort, caution against secular encroachments, and recognition of the movement as a divine providence.
