SCOTTISH LETTER.

THE SCOTTISH SABBATH. [FROM DUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]

EDINBURGH, June 17th..

THE SCOTTISH RABIATH

Lord Inchcape of Strathnavar, who is well known all over the East and Far East, has launched a telling attack-upon the unes guid" and the extreme Sabbat arians of Scottish Presbyterianism. It seems that he has been rather interested iately in reading the diatribes by certain reverend Scottish parsons concerning the attitude of the people in Scotland which now prevails towards Sabbath observance.

His comment is that These reverend gentlemen object to Sunday trains ta Sunday golf, to Sunday ténals to Sunday charabanes, to Sunday papers, to any thing, in fact, which is a source of plen sure or interest to the people on tha Lord's Day. He goes on to say that for six days of the week clergymen lend com- paratively quiet lives, free to devote themselves to literature and study, to moving about, with a few hours thrown in to compose sermons which they giv forth on the seventh day. On the other hand he points out that the majority of their congregations have been hard at work either mentally or physically throughout the week, and "there is little Vattraction as a rule in the sermons to which they are obliged to listen if they go to Church in Scotland." What remedy is there for such an unsatisfactory state of affairs? Lord Inchcape does not hesitate to express a decided opinion, I be lieve it would be infinitely better if the service in the Scottish churches began at 10 am. or 10,30 a.m. and lasted for not more than an hour, leaving the people free for the rest of the day to indulge in rational recreation. also that the clergy themselves to lectures such as that given by our Saviour on the Mount, with prac tical admonitious for the conduct of life, avoiding dogma. doctrine, and theology."

He suggests, |, should confine

This challenge to orthodox custom is supported by, some reminiscences of Lord Inchcape's own youth. I was brought up (he says) in the narrow atmosphere of the Scottish Sabbath, nothing. left out to 'or the "Good Words" read except

Sunday at Home." with church at 11 m., 3 p.m., and 6 p.m., in each case the service Insting an hour and three- quarters 10 two hours. Since then I have knocked about the world for over fifty years, and I certainly don't lock back with much pleasure to the Sabbath res traints to which when a youth I was subjected. Nor has my experience shown that the rest of the inhabitants of th world are more wicked than those of my native land, despite the fact that the former are free from that bondage, from which my countrythen are gradually breaking away, but in which some of our clergymen would seemingly still like to see them fettered.

The indictment has, of course, provoked debate, and a newspaper war" of the bittarest character has already brokea

out.

A MEMORY OF WAR-TIME QUEUES...

The post-war period has been nothing to boast of, bu: at least we havs man- aged to wriggle through it, so far, with- out & return to food queues--some people, by the way, brought a flicker of gaiety into a dismal time by calling them "kweet." Already, no doubt, there are boys leaving school who, on turning over the war-time numbers of Punch will fail to see the humour of the cartoon representing "The Christianity Shortage; Queues at Westminster Abbey." It was when the food queues were at their maximum length that a much respected and very prim matron in the West-End ardent temperavee of Glasgow, an worker, heating of the success of sine of her friends in obtaining butter and other commodities, made up her mind to over- come her repugnance to what she regard, ed as a proletarian institution, savouring of soup-kitchens and poor-relief. Setting her teeth and half-sbutting her eyes, sho joined a long queue in a main thorough- fare. As the procession, like a wound- ed snake, dragged ts slow length along." she was vaguely conscious.now and, thou of the astonished glances of acquaintances passing on the pavement or in cars. She was also acutely aware that the queue did not in the least resemble the one that is seen every Sunday evening out- side & popular West-End, church. At last she found herself near the businem ind of the queue, and began to get ber hasket and her money ready. It was at this montent that a very dilapidated old woman in front of her turned round and said, with a leer that was, meant. for: a smile, Ah'm thinkin' mum; there'll no he mair nor a haut for etch o' us." It Was n whisky.queue..

THE STEVENSON CULT.

The Stevenson worshippers who visit Edinburgh are not being left in doubt as to the habits and haunts of their literary idol. An artistically printed placard in the window of licensed pre- raises near St. Giles' Cathedral bear the statement:

This is the Hostelry which Robert Louis Stevenson frequented while ac quiring local knowledge for his famous ^novels.

OBITUARY.

The death is announced of the Rev. David Cathels, D.D., ex-Moderator of the Church of Scotland, who for many years was minister at Hawick. In 1913 he was a delegate to the China Station of tho Church's missions, and devoted his visit specially to the Yangtaze Valley.

The fact thas some of the praise of Fari Eastern Jaunts came from Scotland con firmed him, he says, "in a suspicion i had long harboured that Scotsmen are, if anything more readily appreciativa of the best forms of humour than Eng lishmen." Scotsmen, in the compliment to themselves. forgive this humorous egotism.
