POLITICS ON THE SABBATH.
Mix. LYSNAR OBJECTS. Wellington, Yesterday. The member for Gisborne, Mr l.v.snar, suggested in the fipuse tonight that political meetings on Sundays should be prohibited and he hoped the Government would introduce legislation to that effect. The extreme labour people made polities their calling and business. They had no other calling and they were agitators. Sunday political meetings should be stopped. He knew a member who occupied the pulpit on Sunday morning and held a political meeting in the evening. He described the Labour members as disbelievers in religion, who were prepared to desecrate the Sabbath. Mr Armstrong (Christchurch E.) remarked that it would be alright pei imps it Labour spent Sunday night preaching the doctrine of Mr Lysnar, but he would be ashamed to tin that, even on Monday. Mr Jordan (Manakau) objected to Labour members being referred to as of no religion, because the reference was not correct. He said he had once occupied a pulpit hi Mr Lystiar's electorate.
