Honoring the Living on Sunday

The Ministerial Union In regard to Sunday
sparades," but adduces little support TO the
unions contention. 1t IS not likely that the
departure of the troops from the border is so
,timed as to insure their arrival in Richmond
on Sunday. But if entertainment were
arranged with that end in view, it would not
be SO dire thing. These men have been
engaged in the sacred duty of serving their
country. If they had been killed memorial
services In their honor would have been held
even on Sundays Can honor to them, living,
be less appropriately paid on Sunday?
