We have a proud, noble record be-

us. We should make our age. and
land memorable, and seek to be the
worthy descendants of those We honor
to-day, and increase the inheritance
aswe bequeath it to eur children. A
great, prosperous nation as ours can
not afford to forget its past or fail to
honor its historic dead. Did ever any
land OF fable or history, enjoy such
treasures and memories as ours? Did
the tabled Northland of Hiscad,
whose inhabitants. lived thousand
years in. open sunshine. aud sweet

clte much remark. Surprise is expressed that,
considering the strong opposition that was

that the public should now be so easily recon-
ciled to it. Many Of the leading clergymen are
out IN the journals ag sinst il, however, and the
Sabbath observance so ciety are to have meet

In the same line are also announced as forth
coming. To meet the point that these SUNDAY
amusements are necessary for the recreation of
me working people, 1t has been suggested that
the half holiday system be extended. The the
cry is that, with this addition TO their opportu-
mites for recreation, there would be no inclina-

employers, and especially the merchants, 20
