SUNDAY AMUSEMENTS,

I have followed with great interest your correspondents on Sunday hiking, and it seems we have been led nowhere. It has been more of a conflict of opinion between pens more often than not dipped in the ink of bitterness t'han any genuine desire to arrive at a decision as to where one ought reasonably to at&na on this matter. As a supporter of Christianity who feels one ought to take the broad est view possible of the subject without sacrificing our principles, I would trust my fellow man so far as to say that, .after all, it is 4 matter of individual conscience. For my P art > as a worker in the open air all the week, 1 enjoy the worship of God in His sanctuaryThere are many, (however, to whom Sunday is the only opportunity for the open air oliaiice to enjoy the beauties with which G has surrounded them. Let them enjoy tnee« by all means without the sense that piou indignation is being 'heaped npon tliera. only a more tolerant attitude was adoptett by the Church on these matters we sliouw certainly obtain a more tolerant attitua ■in the Church (by those who stand aloof from it, and, incidentally, our churches would better filled and the cause of Christiatut) advanced.
