VULGARITY IN CHURCH.

TO IH EDITOH.

Sir, —"Wliilst worshipping at the Cathedral on Sunday evening I was disgusted at the behaviour of a man and woman who evidently mistook that eacred edifice for a place of amusement. They disregarded all the etiquette and ritual of worship, rudely sitting erect whilst the congregation knelt, the man (whom I took for a_ German) standing in the centre of the aisle with his hands in his pockets, obstructing the view of the altar, leaning over from time to time discussing in an audible voice with the woman his oninion of the service. In fact, his behaviour was disgraceful.—l am, CHURCH WORSHIPPER.
