said that the committee from sume tn u

THE BRITISH SUNDAY.
Tendency to Make II Day of Pleasure
Brings Forth Protest.

London, Jan. 4--The daily increas-

to make Sunday day of pleasure
seeking has induced certain religious
bolies to make an effort to stem the
movement. The archbishop of Can
terbury, the archbishop of Westmin-
ister and Rev. John Scott Lidgett, rep
resentinp respectively the English and
the Catholic churches and the Non
Coniormists, have issued Joint mes

Importance of the matter, and setting
forth their conviction that on an ade-

Sunday depends the possibility OF pro-
noting the deeper more sacred and
more enduring interests of the common

The Joint message evidently is aimed
