WELLINGTON'S AWFUL EXAMPLE.
SABBATH DAY OBSERVANCE. CONTINENTAL SUNDAY NOTHING TO IT. [BX TELEQBAPH — SPECIAL TO THIS POST.] NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. Preaching at Stratford on Sunday the Rev. W. A. Butler in taking his congregation severely to task for succumbing to the attractions of Mount Egmont on Sundays to the neglect of the Church, proceeded to quote the awful example in the shape of New Zealand's Capital city. He said in Wellington last year he had received one of the shocks of his life when he had seen the large number of people who apparently had no thought of God on Sunday. "We hear," he said, "of the Continental Sunday, but the Continental Sunday is nothing to what I saw in Wellington. Thank God that up to the present the small town in which, we live is in a far healthier, happier, and holier position than some of the bigger towns of tho Dominion."
