WEEK-END TRAINS.
PROTEST BY METHODIST CON-. FERENCE. Auckland, February 25. The Methodist conference unanimously carried the following resolution: “Wie desire to draw attention to what appears to be the settled policy of the present government in the regular organising of week-end excursions on the railways, thus apparently seeking to bring in the Continental Sunday. We wish to enter our emphatic protest against this deliberate piliey of Sabbath desecration, because of its deteriorating effect on the moral and spiritual well-being of the people. We sincerely believe this action of the government to be opposed to all the traditions of the British people, in that it helps -to destroy the necessary quiet of the Christian Sabbath and helps to foster disregard for the sanctity of the Lord’s Day. We therefore earnestly call upon the government to reverse its policy by flic abolition of such week-end excursions.”
