ST. STEPHENS CHURCH,
Concerning Sunday Funerals.

At meeting of the Protestant minis
ters of Mddlebury held Friday, April the
2Sth, the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted, which, as it accords
with the practice of the Roman Catholic
church, makes the local churches a unit
upon this matter
We, pastors of churches of Middlebury,
VT, are DESTROYS of serving the public in
every possible manner, especially in times
of affiiction.
Believing that the best interests of
Christ's Kingdom can be subserved by
discouraging the custom of holding
funerals upon the Lords Day, we respect
fully request that, excepting in cases of
infectious diseases or of absolute neces-
sity, we be not called upon to officiate at
Sunday funerals.
As our work is mainly of public
nature that does not give us absolute
control of our time we furthermore re-
quest that the minister to officiate at
any funeral be conferred With before the
time is fully settled upon.
