"What about the considerable increase in organised sport, and Sunday picnics during recent years’ 1 " asked Archbishop Averill when delivering his charge to the Auckland Synod. “There is a vast dill'erotico between individual recreations on a Sunday and organised sport, and the church does not frown on innocent recreations which do not conflict with the duty and opportunity of worship, for Sunday stands for true re-creation of the whole man. The fact that Sunday is so constantly spoken of as part of the week-end does not make Monday the first day of the week, nor does it convert Sunday from a holy day into a holiday. The church naturally looks to those who have been educated in Christian schools to lake a definite 1 stand in this matter, and 1 would appeal to all real sportsmen to oppose whatever degrades sport amt conflicts with higher interests in life."
