PROTEST OF THE NETWORK SUNDAY COMMITTEE.
The following protest was presented to the Memorial
Executive Committee of the Grand Army Of the Republic
GENTLEMEN: 1t is publicly announced that the ceremo
connection with the annual cOmmemOratiOn OF
fallen soldiers will take place under your direction III
published provides for an Imposing display and process
sion including military and civil officers and members
OF the staff OF tho National Department Headquarters
monument surrounded by guard Of honor, wagons
Republic closing with such civil Societies mag join
the prOeessOuthe procession TO form UniOnsquare
at 10 a m, to march down Broadway and FutOn-st.
TO the ferry and then proceed TO Cypress Hill Cemetery
The First aud Second Divisions Of the National Guard
are To take mart I'M are IN ba
fired from II TIL o'clock In carrying out these
beneyoeB and charabe to sdS yon The pE
most heartily sympahize with the spirit which seeks to
who have fallen for their country by the beautiful
monies of the annual commemoraton day Gladly would
bear part in strewing flowers their and
I'm caring for their surviving families Our own kindred
and friends are OF their number We ourselves have
cheerfuy borne part according his measure,
in the great conflict in which they fell 1t IS then, with
protest as.,,a 'as We pTotest-not because grateful
visit TO their resting places uesecIate the day put
of the long procession, with music and banners - greet
Infringement upOn the feelings and rights OF Christian
households and Congregations and the recognized uses
and associations OF American Sabbath. It viii Be-
rOusly interrupt public worship and thereby conrayene
the laws State draw off thousands Of attendants
Mission and Sunday Schools, and en- the streets
with crowds Of idle spectators Yeryjusty did the Mayor
and Common Council in deciding against the public re-
cepton Of returning regiments on Sunday, during the
late war; say That due observance Of law as well as
sanitary social moral ana relglous considerations Tor
bids all public invasOns Of the quetude and sancty Of
the Sabbath, except IN where the public safety
attend aud witness the ceremony Sunday who could
not do any other day. On the other hand, there
not few, whose religious convictions Will not lot
them join the pageant but who would have been glad 10
turn aside from the toll OF a weekday unite Ia the
grateful cOmmemOratiOn. The force OF these cOnsdeFa
lions is recognized in the change by law and usage Of
national holidays, when falling on Sunday, TO another
day In many places the day for these services Of
mem0ratOn has been changed; in Washington with the
express sanction OF President Grant throughout New
England and Pennsylvania in Cincinnati Brooklyn aud
other places Gen Sckle5 chief officer OF your OrganZa
lion for this state has recommended the same change In
different course; that the religious convictions OF
large classes Of citizens should be ueedessy DIS
regarded; and that IN cause itself so excellent, you
should do anything 70 impair the reverence OF the people
for law divine ana human, on which alone free gov
ernment Securely rests.
