SUNDAY GOLF.

Bishop Sees No Harm In It. The modern Sunday was the principal topic discussed by Convocation of Canterbury at Church House, Westminster. The breaking down of the old tradition of Sunday had not been altogether a loss, said the Bishop of Westminster, Dr Garbett. It was a gain to escape from the gloom which was associated with Sunday, but, on the other hand, a day set apart for rest and worship had been lost to multitudes of people. “ I see no harm in a man playing a game of golf if he has been to worship,” the bishop concluded, “ but it is another matter when a whole nost of caddies is employed and a club, with waiters, is kept open.” The Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr Cosmo Dang) had a good word to say for Sunday excursionists: “ When I see these long rows of extremely healthy young men going out into the country on bicycles for fresh air and stimulating recreation, I cannot but rejoice and contrast that picture with the spectacle one used to see in the towns of young men loafing about the street corners.”
