return Of the Ober-Murray Novelty
Comedy Company. who commenced q
weeks engagement on Monday evening
last, under the auspices Of the yelling
ton Cornet Band. 1t is unnecessary for
us to say anything in their behalf, for
the reason that they have already been
here. and their reputation is established

ever visited Wellington. To show how
the troupe is appreciated in other towns,
we copy the following deserved notice

The second Sunday In June Is In
all the Methodist Churches observed a.
Children's Day, and last Sunday found
IN unusual number of sizes among the
listeners in that church, made beauti-
full for them by wreaths and flowers.
II seemed like pleasant return to the
days when 1t was customary for the
Sunday-school children to be sprlnk-
led In among the parents and older
people at Divine service. Children un-
derstand a great deal more than they
have credit for, and the modern idea
that they are not strong enough to en-
dure sitting through a sermon Of twen-
ty-five minutes, Ia all nonsense. The
habit and the influence Of church,
going Is too important to allow them to
come up with the shiftless substitute of
only attending Suuday-school. So
much has been said and written about
the sternness of the Puritan Sabbath,
and 50 much latitude has been given In
place Of the strictness Of our fathers
that freedom has degenerated into
loosencss, and latitude into lassitude !;
and respect for the sacred institutions
Of the day has declined with the failure
Of its more rigid observance.
