j. r. WALLIS, Sec.

To whom it may concern:
We, the Undersigned, do hereby most
cordially request the people of the com
munity to avoid the holding Of Sunday
funerals when possible. Because a
Sunday funeral necessarily brings added
strain and hinderence to pastor s
regular Sabbath Days work, and 1t
also adds an additional burden TO those
who are expected to sing at such ser
vices.
Then too, it entails upon a great
number Of people, labors which rot
them of their rest and Sabbath quiet.
Respectfully yours,
