A good story comes from White Cliffs (N.S.W.). There, recently, a travelling clergyman entered a public-house for a glass of gingerbeer “ straight.” Whilst drinking he was greatly pleased, also surprised—being no new chum in the bush—to sec on cards around the bar the words “ Remember the Sabbath Day.” "Now,” said the parson, heartily, “ that’s what I call encouraging to us; it also speaks well for the character of the community in general, and this house in particular.” “ That’s so,” replied the landlord, evidently much gratified. " It’s a real good reminder for the boys to get their bottle o’ whisky or ’arf dozen o’ beer on Saturday night, 'stead o’ cornin’ botherin’ me with a sore ’ead on the Sunday as they used to do.”
