SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.
WEEK-ENDERS CRITICISED. CHRISTCHURCH, October 10. At the meeting of the Chriatchurch • Presbytery to-day a report was submitted on Sabbath observance. In the course* of a discussion the Rev. G. R. Inglis, after quoting a statement made a-t a meeting of the Dunedin Society for the Protection if Women and Children to the effect that a serious form of Sabbath desecration was the practice of young men in going away for week-end trips and taking girls with them, said it was equally wrong, for instance, for men to lie on a sofa and smoke and read a paper o-A iScnday as it was to make the day a holiday. The pastors should all be mora, earnest. in their preaching, and strive to make their preaching more attractive, and should awaken a higher sense of responsibility as to the sacredness of the Sabbath. It was decided to form a. branch of the Sabbath Alliance, and hold fc Presbyterian Conference on the subject about February next.
