Sunday Excursions
Sir, —AVould you please allow me space to reply to Mr. Vine. In the first place if my ideals are old-fashioned they are ideals that our forefathers loved, and many of them died for these things that we treat so lightly. lam sure people were happier and more contented in those days, with not so much of the hurry-scurry of life. . . . - I. would remind Mr. Vine that we co '■ not keep the Sabbath Day, but we keep the Lord's Day, the first day of the week. We keep that day because it is the resurrection day of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the very founda-tion-stone on which Christianity stands, and as the Psalmist asks, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can. the righteous do?” If Mr. Vine desires to discover the real teachings of Christianity he has not far to go. Bibles are cheap, and I would remind him that that Book has never changed and never will, and it is still a sure guide _to righteousness to the State or to the individual, but woe to them who trifle with its sacred pages.—l am, etc., "OBSERVER.Wellington, October 25.
