The bishop Of Liverpool laid the founds-
ton stone of now Roman catholic church at
Barrow-in-Furness ON Sunday, and delivered
a long address upon the occasion. In the
course of IL he alluded to the day which had
been selected for the ceremony.
"There are many" said his lordship, ''who
will disapprove OF such ceremony as that
you have witnessed being performed on this
day but have endeavored to show you that
we are not bound by jewish laws and pre-
scriptions, and that when the day was chang
ed from Saturday to Sunday SO also was the
manner changed, and, therefore, am an ad-
vocate-ay, even en- the Sabbath day-on
this day which is holy unto the Lord for the
people enjoying themselves with rational
amussments after they have adorsd and
fulfilled their services unto God-to Him ns
their creator, ruler and prescrver. in whose
hands are our lives, and who watches over US
day and night. All homage is due unto God,
but after that service then / hold it lawful
that man should enjoy himself by honest re-
creation and instead of being driven stealth
lily to carouse In o public house, instead of
being compelled to sit at home, brooding per
haps, over some vice. would rather see our
manly young people gathering together and
going forth to practice with their rifles even
on this day and | would like to see our
cricket clubs at work, and cur atheletic
youths strengthening themselves and recruit
ing themselves from the fatigue of the week
by playing at football and other athletic
sports. These things do not break thu law of
God any more than the smoke which, going
into man, defiles him. We have. therefore,
no sympathy in any way or manner with the
Jewish observance of the Sabbath; anu con-
sequently we have selected this day in order
to perform this holy rite"
The site of the church is given by the Earl
Of Devonshire. The building, which is to
seat 700 persons is to cost 4. 000l.

OF course Mr.. Seward has done no such

and substantial reasons why the name is APP
