SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
SOUTH AFRICAN BISHOPS' PRONOUNCEMENT. (By Cable—Press Association—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) OAPE TOWN, December 7.

The bishops deprecate, however, the extent to which organised public sports, picnics and excursions are robbing the people of the atmosphere of quiet which should obtain.
