AUSTRALIA'S RETIRED CHAMPION.

The popular retired Champion Sculler of 1 the World, William Bkach, writes :—" I am pleased to inform vcm that I have found St. Jacob's Oil of great service to mc in training, bavins used it very successfully for the relief and cure of stiffness, cramps and muscular pains. To athletes in training I earnestly recommend it. Asa household remedy I may say that Mn Beach generally keeps a bottle of it by her at oar home ra Dapto, and it is the first thins nsed when any one of the family meet with any of the accidents, falls, or bruises that little folks so frequently incur." From fifty-five to sixty thousand people are estimated to die from consumption annually In the British Islands, and more than four times that number were wholly or partially crippled by rheumatism before the introduction of St. Jacob's Oil, which is now recommended by many eminent medical men as the best core for rheumatic and other kindred diseases known to science. A GOLDEN RULE for DOMESTIC GUIDANCE isAlways keep a bottle of Sfc. Jacob's Oil in the home. Its value in connection with the small ills of life, as well as with its greater sufferings, will surprise you. Wholesale Agents for New Zealand, Messrs Kempthoene, Prosskb and Co., Limited. A better proof of the well known excellence of the "Waterbuby Watcbes could not be desired than the fact that unprincipled dealers attempt to palm off cheap and inferior imitations as " as good as or better than the Waterbury."

[ Advertisement. ] BOATING ON SUNDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF XHX PRESS. Sir, —I beg that you will insert in your paper what I have written down. To boat upon the Sabbath day upon pleasure is contrary to God's spoken law. The fourth commandment says, " Thou shalfc do no manner of work upon the Sabbath day." To boat upon the Sabbath day makes work for the person who lets boats out on hire upon Sunday.

It is against God's commandment for persons to follow their every day business upon Sunday. It is the custom to make as little work to do upon Sunday as possible. The people should be right and just in all they do. Keep the law and commandment in fear of Gods displeasure. It is not right for any person to boat upon pleasure upon the Sabbath day. Boating upon the Sabbath ought to be put a stop to. A signboard might be placed near the boatshed where persons let out boats on hire upon Sunday, cautioning persona not to boat upon the Sabbath day. And any persons caught boating upon pleasure upon the Sabbath day wul be prosecuted as the law directs. It is not right for pereonß <o boat upon the water upon the Sabbath day. A good example should be set to young people. True order should be kept. If persons make a practice of doing what is not lawful it affects the Christian faith.

The Christian belief iis that \if people do what is right they save their souls alive. To boat upon the Sabbath Day upon pleasure is not in accordance with the rule of God's commandment.

If persons boat upon the Sabbath Day and meet with an accident they fall in displeasure. Persons might get quite angry with a person for going out upon the water npon the Sabbath Day. After a person has met with an accident he may feel the want of kindness shown him. Instead of a person showing kindness he has to say you have been haughty. I have heard it said that two or three persons have been drowned in the Bluff Harbour boating upon Sunday. An advertisement in the Pkess newspaper, dated Monday, February the 27th, 1893—" Aecidents.~Wellington, February the 26th.—-A sad boatiag accident took place in the harbour last night." If this accident took • place on Sunday. If boating upon the Sabbath day had been put a stop to this accident may not have happened. I have called the attention of the authorities to peraone boating upon Sunday several times. Persons in charge, if they neglect_.their charge, are/ responsible if an accident takes place. Act by knowledge. Act up to knowledge. It is not advisable to boat upon the Sabbath day. Persons should have the will to do what is right. Strive to do what is right. In prayer we say Thy will be done. Strive with prayer. Walk in God's law. A person is not The person. Not a true person if he does not keep God's commandment. Persons should be true and just in all they do. Faithful soldiers and servants until their lives end.

It would appear that some persons ia Government offices has let go holding the true order. As a call if xnadeig not attended to. Justice is not done if the true order is not kept. Keep the way. Boating upon Sunday does not make order for. the day. of Sunday, i . Persons may be too much with boating upon Sunday to! agree in the order of the day. ■ . i I have no doubt that persons that live in the west quarter .of Chrotchurch have knowledge "that personsfmake a jpractiee of going out in a boat upon the River Avon upon the Sabbath day. :■ The authorities in the Government ought to hold power and prevent persons going out to boat upon the river upon the Sabbath day. ' ■'"•'.

If the authorities do not hold power, and prevent the order, from being broken, The order is let run. If the persons that -live in the neighbour* hood where persons boat upon the Sabbath day do not take the trouble to inform the authorities that persons in the neighbourhood boat upon the Sabbath day, The people will all have a fault upon them.

Both the Government and the people will have a fault upon them. Law and rule should be enforced. It is necessary to keep the way of Provi* dence.

Be always prepared. The people in a neighbourhood where persons boat upon the Sabbath Day might all be summoned to appear at the Resident Magistrate's Court, and questioned as to whether they know that persons boat upon the river upon the Sabbath Day. And persons might be told that it is the duty of all persons to stand true, and do their part and move the authorities to keep the true order. It is the duty of all persons to stand true, and speak to the authority in the proper quarter if they see any persons trespass upon order., - ,
