AGAINST SUNDAY SPORTS.

Mavxy earnest and thovghtful persons will appland the stand taken by the Rev. Pather Whelan, of St. Patrick’s Church, Ottawa, against indulgence in sports on the Lord’s Day. The Ottawa Journal, of she [8th inet., reports that Father Whelan, jn the course of a sermon on “ Recreation * took occasion to remark that “ Sunday outdoor games and sports were not only noisy, but scandalous. The Sunday, as observed upon the continent, with athletic contests, he continued, slould not be held in favour in thie conntry. In »!most all parte of America, workingmen had short hours and geverally a Saturday bal’ holi- dsy. Thus they bad many occasions through the week to indulge in or witness aports. They should not do so ov Sunday, which isaday of rest and prayer, and ought to be kept holy. Rev. Father Wie- lan said he had yet to learn that the ehurch approves of Sunday outdoor games, Recreation waa as necessary to the mind, the preacher added, as nourishment to the body. Recreation, however, should always be sanctified, avd those pleasures tending towards immorality should be avoided. Persons who are inclined to ove sip more than another, should beware of

indulging in those pleasures leading to gratification of that sin.” These words of Father Whelan are timely as well astrue. They point to an evil that is growing in other towns than Ottawa. In thie age and generation too many persons look forward to Sunday as aday of mere pleasure and enjoyment—a day on which to drive, to sail, to shoot, te race, to play ericket or football or hold evening parties —rather than a day on which to worship God and obtain needful rest and recrea-

tion. Father Whelan has done well to come Out im Opposition to this latter-day tendency of people in Canada as well as of people in the States; and we trust that

his exanspie will be followed by the clergy

at large, both Catholic and Protestant. We are not ef those who bold that man was made for the Sabbath or that there

ought on Sundays to be @ Puritanical or fanatical] repression of every pleasure. But, manifestly, the line between Sunday obd- servance and mere pleasureor “ sport” must be drawn somewhere, It ie the duty of the clergy to draw the line and to protest loudly and strongly whenever it is over- stepped by the public. To give way in one direction orenother is to admit a priueiple which may, by degrees, become of general application atid lead to an universal mon- observance of the Lord’s Day.

THE WIDENING RIFT.

Tuxsplit im the Liberal partyasto its pro- spective leaders affects ndt merely those members ealied to attend thecaucus. It extends throughout the rank and file of the party. The most influential Liberals im the Province openly and strongly differ in opinion as to the selection of Mr. War- burton or Mr. Farquharson. One main- tains that Mr. Warburton is an educated and honorable gentleman and ought for that reason to be preferred. Another de- clares that, as the firet duty of a Premier is to save thef public money and make ends meet, Mr, Farquharson is the man for the time because he hasyshown so much care ov behalf of his own interests. A sec- tion of one faction favors Mr. Farquharson because he “goes for the Scott Act every time and would have the iiquor dealers a)] in jail;” while another class, holding thata little wine may be good for their digestion and for their often infirmities, desire a little freedom in this regard, and tbink that Mr. Warburton with his more enligutened views and larger sympathies would make the better Premier, These say that Mr. Farquharson’s natural an- aiety about“No. One” wil! continue should

AN -IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Privcipal Grayt, of Queen’s University, lately began a series of Sunday afternoon addresses on the subject of national and social ideals to be cultivated by Canadians. in announcing this series of addresses Principal Grant expressed himself words of the loftiest patriotism. He pointed out the intimate conneciion the national life and the moral and spirit-

it

between

ual well being of the individual. H: sail:

“ This ia not a secular q°*-'inn, as some whoare hbide-bound iy medizeval

distinction between sacred aud secular may he disposed to think. It affects our moral health and power, our very life as a com- munity; and be sure of this, that the individual rises or falls ae a spiritual being with the community. Every side of national life then is rooted in ore religions ideal, and reacts upon our mora! and religious life. We cannot separate our industrial, our economic, our commer- cial, our social, our political, our educa~ tional, our rational, or our art life from our religion any more than we can split a man with an axe into halfa dozen sections aod expect each to live. Man is a unit, and though he presents many sides of character at different times, he has only one life. We are required then to reflect on our history, our relations, our mis~ sion a8 a people at fitting times, just as the prophets and Psalmists, the great teachers of Israel did with regard to their nation, in order that they might teach the lessons their age required. What should be the aims and ideals of a people just struggling into self-consciousness, belong- ing by origin and history to one contineat, and by geography to another, at such an epoch in the world’s development as this is?”

Here we have one of the most impor- tant questions that can be submitted to the people of Canada—a question which ought tebe carefully considered, particular-

ly by those who aspire to be leaders of the people.

THE LOCAL CRISIS.

We learn that Hon. Mr. Peters intends leavi@g Prince Edward Island for British Columbia early next week, possibly as early as Wednesday, and that he hae intimated to some of the Liberal members that unless the party can agree on his successor at the adjourned meeting on Monday evening he will on bis own responsibility and motion recommend a successor to His Honor the Lieutenant Governor. This course is the constitu- tional one for a retiring Premier to adopt , aod no fault can be found with Mr. Peters for doing ou Tuesday what he should have done in the first instance. In the event of the gentieman named by Mr. Peters failing to be able to form a government, it will then be in order for His Honour the Lieut._

Governor to call in the Leader of the Opposition. It is rumored that an_ effort

will be made to induce Mr. Peters to hold on to hie seat for Fort Augustus in orde that it-may not be necessary to have a bye election. Mr. Peters has committed many tyrannical acte during his administration, but we doubt very much whether he will cap the climaxand allow himself to be made use of to suit the ends of his late followers, He has heretofore made their ends subservient to hisown, and he will hardly do otherwise now.

The festivities took the form of a banquet, and the tables were temptingly arranged and _ boanteously supplied. Rev. W.J. Kirby, P. C. T. made an excellent chairman, and the vice. chair was most acceptably filled by Mr. Wiliiam Harris, P. L. D.

Between the toasts Miss Edith Riggs gave a “coon” song in her own inimitable way; and Miss Essie McLean gave a capital recitation. Bro. Fowler also favored the audience with two excellent recitations, and Prof. Grant,of Halifax, gave @ violin solo.

The speeches in reply to the various toacts were well delivered, and, in some cases, really elcquent. The progress of Good Templary during the past few years was spoken of, and the prospects for the future were declared to be bright, Char-

J. Gold-

lottetown Lodge, the banuer Lodge of the

Province, came in for a good sbare of attention, and the splendid work it has done ip the city during the three years that bave elapsed since its organization was fittingly referred to.

— Hon.
