A FIERY CROSS.
IN THE HIGHLANDS. CAMPAIGN TO STOP SUNDAY TRIPS A vigorous campaign against Sunday trippers spoiling the quiet and the sanctity of the Sabbath in the Highlands is about to be launched. 'The visit of two thousand excursionists from Aberdeen to the capital of the highlands has given fillip to the campaign, which will be led by the Rev. Dr. John Macleod, Principal of the Scottish Free Church and a well-known Inverness minister. Dr. McLcod and those who have strong Sabbatarian views have fought for years aginst such innovations and they have clone so with success, even on the question of allowing hands to play secular music on Sundays. On the oilier hand, the railway authorities and omnibus owners say that so long as their public wish lo visit the Highlands on Sundays, so long will the directors make arrangements for excursions. So the fight is expected to he keen. Sabbatarians, clerical and lay, have sent the fiery cross around iu an endeavour to stop what they consider the worst innovation in the life of ttio north since the Reformation.
