LONDON, June 6. The Archbishop of Canterbury, in a letter to the secretary of the imperial Alliance, in defence of Sunday, deplores the growing tendency towards Sabbath games. He says that those in responsible positions must have their eyes opened to the danger of the unintended progress from innocent recreation to the encouragement of great competitive games. A word of warning was gravely needed to the , whole country., and public bodies particularly. If Sunday was to be devoted chiefly to pleasure-seeking the price would be deplorable.— Aus.-N.Z.
