SUNDAY TENNIS
to th« wiior. Sir, —As s citizen of Wellington of many years' standing, will you allow me to say that I thoroughly approve of Sunday tennis at Day's Bay for soldiers or other players. Many people /in the city are so tied up to their work that they are unable to have any recreation aiiy other day save Sunday, and the Sabbath was made for man not man for the Sabbath. And men and women in playing games on Sunday developing a healthy body and. promoting a sound mind will be doing God's service a-s much as, if not more than, the man who labours through a half-hour's sermon. Again, there is too much wowerism abroad ; too much cant and hypocrisy among so-called religionists. If they enjoy themselves going to church why cannot they be sports and allow Others to enjoy themselves in any way they choose? Is this a free country? The wowsers want to rule everywhere, everything, and * everybody. "> <sur City Council is not free from their Pecksniffian influence. Let us clear our minds of cant and divest our souls of humbugging ourselvp,s and hampering our neighbours. —I am, etc., DEMOCRAT.
