course with their Christian friends on that day of profitable reading, and of correspon dence with their absent relabions, if they he away from homft j hut of these things I have not left myseYf time now to speak. But, B til],—no,fc/to seem to avoid a diffi culty, -what is to .he said of certain modes, of recreation in which some of '/oil may be really in doubt aa to whether y°u caD» without inconsistency, al'iow yourselves on the Lord's Day? For ijistanco, Is it right to go for an excursion, into the country on Sunday by the railway ? to begin with, I cannot myself see any dif ference in principle between travelling by railway and^by steamboat, or sailing vessel, on horseback, or by any other means involv ing the labour of others. However, I consider Sunday travelling in itself neither right nor wrong, independently of the circumstances under which it takes place. I look upon it as one of those things indifferent, of the pro priety of winch in any particular case, each manmust, asSt. Paul says, be "fullysatisfied in his own..mmd." A man or woman with a proper n/gard for the observance of the Lord's 7)ay, enjoying abundant opportu niiies o£ change of air and of visiting'Sr'iends on oth^r daya of the week would, we* £may saprjose, scarcely select Sunday for excur sions of this kind. Still, we must be cautious h .ovrwe judge our brother in these matters. 'Close confinement to an office for six days of the week, especially in one of the less healthy parts of a town, and the consequent need of a thorough change on Sunday—the only day on which it can be obtained, may well enable a man to feel justified in occasionally travelling through the country air on the Lord's Day, and In thus recruting his bodily health ; which is one of God's chiefest gifts, and cannot be wilfully neglected without limiting a man's powers of useful ness in God's world. And let us nob assume^ as is generally done, that because r a man travels on Sunday he must necessarily neg lect the public worship of God. This, we fear, is too often the case • but it is not always so. So far as the trains of our own railway are concerned, persons who go or come by them on Sunday morning or even ing, will find at either end of the line places of worship with open doors, if they will but enter; and as to our young people being addicted to Sunday travelling, we must not foTget that the railway is at present a novelty with most of them. In any case, it is to the parents that the church must look, and not to the Government, for a check to the practice. The example and teaching of parents in this matter must surely ibe defective, if for the sake of a few minutes' .excitement, young people are ready to dis regard the rules of their Church, and wound i;he feelings of many of their Christian friends. And the same is to be said with regaid to the suitableness or unsuitablenesa for the Lord's Day of recreations in general. We cannot lay down any rule that shall apply to ali persons under all circumstances. The Gospel is not a treatise on morals, prescribing in detail what should or should not be done under all imaginable circumstances. We md in it, rather, a few grand principles of -conduct of universal application, distinctly 3aid down, and illustrated by various instan ces of their working. And our own branch of the Church has not endeavoured to com file any such treatise, being warned by the Mure of those who have made the attempt. Of those great piinciples of conducb there is one specially applicable to the case of Sunday amusements, viz. that which St Paul gave to the Christians of Rome for the regulation of their lives. "Be not con formed," says he, "to this world." Fashion not your lives, that is, so as to suit only the existing state of things. Live not so, whether on the Lord's Day, or any other day, as to be fitted only for the condition of things in which you, for a few short years, at most, will continue. If we be indeed "risen with Christ," and are in any true sense seeking the things which are above, there will be little fear of onr going wrong in the matter of Sunday recreations. If we are verily striving to "walk, in the spirit;" to have our conversation in Heaven "—to have our daily manner of life such as becometh the Gospel of Christ ; there is little danger of our failing to observe in a becoming manner the weekly festival of our Master's triumph. .But if, on the other hand, we care for none of these things; if His crucifixion and death were nothing to us; and if there is for ns no real Easter joy ; then, no observance of one day m seven, whatever, we may call that %, will bring any health to our souls.

EASTER DAY AT ST. PAUL'S

Easter Day was celebrated in this Church by festival services both morning and even ing berore crowded congregations. The I?™?' f rvi<* ™s begun with the Easter hymn "Jesus Christ is risen to-day," sung to the old timerhonoured melody by Wor^ gan. The prayers were said by the Ee^ C. M Nelson, MA. The Rev. F. A. Hare, a. A., read the lessons and assisted at the service of the holy communion. The sermon was preached by the Incumbent from Mat thew xxvm, 2nd verse. The burden of the address was the typical action of the an<*el and how by the • resurrection of Jesus sin, the fear of death, and the misery of separation were for ever rolled away. The anthem after the 3rd collect was " Christ our lassover," lstCor.,sth chap., 7thandßth verses. The service of the Holy Com munion was chorally rendered, the English version of Mozart's " Aye Verun" being sung immediately after the reception of the elements. • At the evening service the Rev. U M. Nelson, M.A., said prayers ; the les sons were read by the Rev. F. A. Hare, ±s. A., and the sermon was preached by the itignt Rev. Bishop Cowie, from text Reve lations 1, sth verse, a summary of which is given in another column. The anthem was Luke xxiv, sth 6th and 7th verses, from the music of Dr Hopkins. At both services the members of the choir were assisted by the Carandini family, an addition,which considerably aided the very effective rendering of the musical part of the service. • Mr. Livingston presided at the |organ with his usual ability. The service was the grandest ever given m Auckland. The church "was taste fully decorated for the occasion, the most conspicuous feature being the text, Christ is risen from the dead," over the chancel arch. The number of communicants was 109. The morning offertory amounted to £8 Is Bd, and the evening to £7 5s 3d : in all, £15 6s lid.
