The Bishop of Peterborough, speaking at Lutterworth, said he believed, under proper caution and reserve, the opening of reading rooms on Sunday would do a deal of good. He could go into his library and read, and why, in the name of common sense should it be wicked and mischievous for a poor man to do in a public library or reading room what was harmless in private rooms ? He saw more than one good reason for Sunday reading rooms being thrown open if care was taken that they did not rival the Church service, or degenerate into things which would be unsuitable for Sunday. We thoroughly agree with the Bishop of Peterborough.
