SUNDAY TENNIS
CLERGYMAN BLESSES COURTS OORAKI (N.S.W.), March 28. A ceremony, stated to be unprecedented in the history of the Anglican Church on the North Coast, was performed by the Rev. Arthur Ftrost on Saturday. Attended by an altar boy, he blessed tennis courts in the Church o! England grounds, before the Mayor formally declared the courts open for play. The new courts are to he opened for Sunday play, to which Mr. Frost is not averse so long as it is of a friendly nature and does not interfere with divine worship. To condemn Sunday play, the church would have to condemn all form of recreation, such as novel reading and the like, Mr. Frost said. All who visited the courts were pledged to attend service on Sunday.
