OLD-FASHIONED SUNDAY
"GLADNESS WAS SHUT OUT." ARCHBISHOP'S ADVICE. CHURCH. AND THEN CRICKET. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Disapproval of the old-fashioned Sunday was expressed by Archbishop Julius Inst night, when he gave an address on "The Boy and Home Life," to the Y.M.C.A. Parents' Association. "If I were to start poultry-keeping without any knowledge of fowls, people would say that I deserved failure," said Archbishop Julius. "If I were a youth and got married, and had a child or two, no one would take any notice, but it takes a clever man to rear chickens. The home is the true training ground of the boy and of the girl, and what that home is so will the children be in after years. "Parents, take an interest in your children. Let your home be a Christian one. Your boy may not be a great success. but let us hope he is brought up to love and fear God. But preserve them from the old-fashioned Sunday, where gladness was shut out. How glad I was in those days when Sunday was over. Tf I was living my life again I would go with my children to an early service —go with them, not send them. Then T would have a game of cricket with them. T would take care that religion was the brightest and greatest thing in their lives"
