Biblical Sunday Scheme.— A return to the Biblical method of observing Sunday from sunset on Saturday to sunset on Sunday was advocated by the Rev. K. .1. McFarland, of Stratford, at the annual meet in? of the Taranaki Archdeaconry Board. Stressing the difficulty in modern times of a spiritual observance of Sunday, he proposed that a remit from the board should urge the amendment of all relative Acts of Parliament to accommodate his suggestion. The remit was seconded by Canon C. E. Newbould. of Okato, but after a long discussion it was defeated. Work, explained Mr McFarland, should cease on Saturday night about six o'clock, and Sunday would then begin. Services on Saturday night would l»e an excellent spiritual preparation for communion on Sunday morning. The rest of Sunday would be observed as at present, but observance would cease at six o’clock, and after that picture bouses could open and dances could be held. Monday would be a whole holiday.
