Sunday Conventions

Recent years have seen an
Incl eased tendency OF organizations
Of many kinds TO hold conventions
on Sunday. Where gathering IS
to be lUr only Il day. it is frequent
~ called lcr Sunday. Where ii is to
last ior two Or three OF four days,
the opening is often on the Sab
bath day.
One reason tor this is. preSum-
ably, that il saves d day from bust
ness absences. Delegates can either
travel on Sunday to be on hand for
the opening that day, OF at least
lie ready Ior the caucuSeS OF other
prelimnarie>, and possibly for the
opportunity that is afforded for eX-
change OF ideas or just plain re-
neWing OF acquaintance or making
new ones.
The idea Of Sunday as day Of
rest and worship is no longer as
sacred as it once was One almost
has to apologize for mentioning this
trend in dissertation OF at least
ignoring the meaning and impUr-
lance uf the holy day. But its posi-
ton in the Christian calendar has
not been repealed, just rs the Ten
Commandments have not been, but
arc more or les Slurrcd at in some
quarters.
Sunday conventions bring dele
safes together for dinners or other
social gatherings and for golf, base
Dali CT sports OF some other charac-
ter. People who leave home to at
tend such events seldom think Of
the church and too often feel free
to relax their moral standards and
to do things they would not do at
home. on Sunday or otherwise.
The tendency is to be regretted.
It is distinctly wrong and unWholc-
some. In the long run it helps moth
ing and nobody. The Sabbath in
the life Of the Individual should be
restored to its rightGul place of
rpGDrrt and reverence Unless il is
those who dcSccratc it may one
day regret their actions.
