Mr.. EDITOR

H. HJD11Oh.-
Since my last com
munication, Sunday delivery of mail
in the city of Richmond has been dis
continued by order of Postmaster AL
len, who expresses the opinion that
the service will not be impaired ther q
by, and who declares that the post of
fee employees should have one dav Of
rest week. Justice Harlan, of the
Supreme Court OF the United States
in recent courageous address in be-
half of the Christian Sabbath, said:
''There is no reason for such flagrant
dissertation of God day as one sees
here IN Washington. When mail car.
riers deliver mail on Sunday, thew
violate the holy day, and, therefore.
I hope they will be stopped and allow
ed to rest on Sunday"
Lord Beaconsfield said in the House
of Commons, more than thirty years
ago: "Of all divine institutions, the
most divine is that which secures a

bic blessing ever conceded to humani-
ty"
Gods first gift to our race, is con-
ceded by the best students of physi-
ology to be necessary to mau's physi-
cal and mental nature, to say nothing
of his spiritual we'll being 1t is an
inalienable right, and in Virginia it is
guaranteed to all of its citizens, and
yet men in our own midst are forced to
violate the law of God and man and
are denied this God given right. AL
ready the lust of money and the love
of pleasure by those who fear not God
nor regard the rights of others has
enslaved over three million men who
are forced to work seven days, week
in aud year out. And this is called
Christian Nation.
The Sunday delivery of mail in
Woodstock IS not necessity, why is
it continued? Why have the two com
munications of the writer met with no
response from the Christian people Of
the town?
Can it be that the ajority of those
who get their mail on Sunday are
church members? What are the eight
or ten ministers of the town doing 10
