SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.
METHODIST CONFERENCE PROTESTS. (PUBSB ASSOCIATION TELEGKAM.) WELLINGTON, February 24. The conference committee to-day rc-f ported to the Methodist Conference that it had co-operated with other denominations in a protest to the Minister for Railways (the Hon. W. B. Taverner) concerning the evil influences of Sunday railway excursions. In Bpite of the solid front of the Churches no satisfaction had yet been obtained, and the evil promised to be carried to greater lengths than ever during the coming months. The committee recommended the Conference to urge all congregations to pass resolutions of protest, and wherever practicable to form deputations to wait on the local Members of Parliament to ask the Government to reverse its policy in this matter. The recommendation was unanimously adopted by Conference.
