Three Shillings and Sixpence a Quarter , which may begin any time
Prior to the commencement of his discourse at Holy Trinity Church, Gore last Sunday evening, the Rev. J. A. Kay, (says the Ensign) stated that he had been frequently asked lately to make a pronouncement in regard to the question of harvesting on Sundays in view of the late season and the bad weather. He said that we had not the rigid laws in regard to Sabbath obset - vance as the Jews had under the Mosaic Dispensation, and they were always allowed to rescue their harvest from possible danger even though it involved working on the Sabbath. Distinctly there was nothing wrong in farmers working on Sundays to save their crops if there was any reasonable fear that the harvest could not be rescued in good order otherwise.
