PROFESSOR E. CAIRD ON THE SUNDAY.
Professor Edward Cairo, of Glasgow University, presided on Sunday night at a lecture delivered in the Queen’s Rooms, by Professor Knight, of St Andrews University, on “ The True, the Beautiful, and the Good,” and in moving, at the close, a vote of thanks to the lecturer, said the Glasgow Sunday Society, under whose auspices the lecture was given, was not set up to maintain the secular against the sacred. It had been set up, however, he understood to maintain their essential unity. It had been said, he did not know with what truth—he would not venture to say with how much truth—that Scotchmen had very often been in the babit of keeping their religion, in one bepartment of their mind and their worldly business in another—(laughter)—and allowing them to have very little communication with each other. (Laughter) The society did not wish to intrude on the sacred employments of the Sunday, but they thought it would be desirable that a little more of the Sunday should get into the week and a little more of the week get into Sunday. (Applause.) He thought that both parts of the time would benefit by the communication. (Applause.)
