THE.ARCHIBALD CAMPAIGN.

Sir,—This campaign. has been a decided .succ&ss. The suggested improvements in Che method and manner of instruction will grcady benefit (he youth of NeV Zealand. There is, however, one great mistake, which is easy, though it seem* difficult to accept and correct, that is in the name "Sunday School." I told Mr. Archibald that Monday is Sunday in New Zealand, it was so, in conseq'uencij of dropping a whole day of tweuty-four hours on the voyage from San Francisco fo .Wellington, without any Divine or Scriptural authority. The Creator's order and numbering of the days of the week is changed in Australasia', and (hat makes our so-called Sunday to be Saturdav. and Monday Sunday. That name is of Pagan and. heathen origin, while Sabbath is Bible all the time. Instead of calling our schools, Sunday Schools, they ought to lw more Scriptunlly named Sabbath Schools. No matter how long a snurious coin has been in circulation, it will never become genuine, no matter how long thc;nn"me Sunday has been misapplied to the seventh day of the week, it will never be fact and truth. Milton says:—Truth is as impossible to h? soiled by any outward touch, as the sunbeam. Our children should h«.taught th» truth, "and no lie is of the truth."—l am. «tc. DAVID XIEU>.
