SUNDAY CONCERTS.
The whol<! argument in favor of Sunday concerts rests in the fact that a great many people do not go to church at all, and from this it is concluded that in providing an appropriate programme of instrumental and secular music for them to listen to at a nominal cost some practical step is being taken to afford such people! a rational, way of spending the Sabbath evening. Anv person who assumes an atitude; of hostility to these concerts is either going blind To what is going on about him. or is impervious to argument. A walk through and around the city on any Sunday evening will give to any moderately discerning mind an impression that some resort' other than the footpath and the byway is urgently needed if the lives of many boys and girls, men and women, are to receive any of the impressions that ..make for social improvement. It is impossible to suppose that a. great number of people who wander aimlessly about the city streets on Sunday evenings would not find their time more profitably spent in listening to good music.— “Wellington Times.”
