THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
Tni'. Hai'pv Svtndav. Religion lias always hoen a matter of joy to Archbishop Julius, and his idea for a ‘happy Sunday’’ is in keeping with Ins whole creed. It will not please the Sabbatarians, of course, but if they road it in the spirit in which it was uttered, they too, will realise that his (.race’s sole desire is that Sunday should connote joy and not gloom. The gloomy Sabbath was largely a Puritan invention, and although some of the early Fathers did endeavour to suppress all forms of enjoyment as well as business on the Lord’s Day, the Church in general does not appear to have moved against mild sports until the followers of the “grim Geneva ministers” took all the joy out of worship. Tt remained for them to legislate against “vainly and profanely walking” on Sundays. —Lvttelton ’l’imes.
