"SABBATH" OBSERVANCE.

[To the Editor of the Daily Telkokapii.] y lßj __l u your issue of last evening I noticed a letter re Sunday obserrawo signed "No Puritan." Would you kindly allow me' through the medium of your columns, to ask that gentleman a few questions, and tender Jam a bit of advice. In the first place docs he call thirteen Sundays running, as mentioned in your morning contemporary, an occasional Sunday. Again, if lie knows that the people employed about these Sunday boats are quite capable of doing what's right, and to look after themselves and families without any advice from a person with only ten years colonial experience ? And, lastly, how would he like to work week after week without having a Day of Rest- , Who told him that the few that he wishes to work to give enjoyment to the many would have nothing else to do ? If he wishes for the sort of recreation that those few get let him apply in the proper quarters, and no doubt he can get any amount of it in a short time. In conclusion, I would advise him to keep out of print until he knows what he is writing about, and not to think for a moment that he is now writing letters to be read by a class of people in nny way like to the inhabitants of his native hamlet, that little inland town in Scotland. Hoping that you will excuse mo for taking up so much of your valuable space,—l am, <fee, Sea Port Town. Port Ahuriri, Mth September, 1883.
