<dd>May explains that the proceeds of the National Anti-Slavery Society, which publishes the "National Anti-Slavery Standard" and other anti-slavery tracts, hires lecturers who speak anywhere and at any time they can find an audience. He clarifies that the lecturers are not authorized to speak against ordinary Sabbath observance and that George Armstrong evidently got the impression that the Anti-Slavery meetings were devoted to anti-Sabbatarianism. May expresses his view that an abolition meeting is not an abuse of Sunday and states that he does not believe the hours of Sunday are any holier than those of any other day</dd></dl><br>Subjects: Hall, Edward B.
