SUNDAY BAND CONCERTS.

"CALVINISTIC" BIRKENHEAD. COUNCILLORS' ARGUMENT. "If we can ; t be on a Sunday what we are on a jgaturday, we are not Christians* said Mr. W. H. Payne, to Mi. H A. Campbell, when the latter said at the Birkenhead Borough Council, last evening that he did not want the Sunday concert in Birkenhead made a general thing. » ■ • ~ "We do n6t want to desecrate the Sabbath in Birkenhead even if they do in other districts," Mr. Campbell de-

elaivid. The bone of contention was a letter from the Birkenhead Band, asking for permission to hold a concert on Sunday evening. Permission had already been granted to the band to hold one concert, but the entertainment had to be post'poned until September 21. Opinion was fairly evenly divided; and Mr. J. Kefruish remarked that Birkenhead was becoming "positively Calvinistic" in its attitude. These concerts were held in the city regularly. He failed to see why they should not be held in the borough. Mr. F. Morris asked to be informed why the band should want to hold a meeting on a Sunday. The hall could be secured easily on other evenings in the week. In any case he considered that week-night concerts would be better patronised. After further discussion permission was granted to the band to hold concerts on Sunday evenings'. "I want my protest recorded," said Mr. Campbell.
