SUN DAY OBSERVANCE.
At St. Paul's Ghurch m Wellingtdn last Sunday, the Rev. Mr Thorpe delivered a very seasonable sermon on the "Sunday question," taking for his text the " Sabbath was niade for man.'' After giving "a short history of the Xevrish Sabbath and the Christian Sunday, he advocated . m our day a freer and more religious use of the one day m seven, to utilise it as a day of rest and relaxation as well as of religious observance, It is men like Mr Thoepe, and sermons snch as his (remarks a Wellington exchange) that are calculated, ruore than straight -laced bigotry, to raise ' the Church to the position of respect it ought to ; hold m the estimation of all men, let them be what they may.
