Instead of, as you aay; “Rev.
Fisher" {discovering: “that ^e
was too far ahead of his time,”
it has been gratifying to notice
that some mem.bers of the
White Rock Baptist (Church
have accepted my view about
Sunday fi^ecals. I^r example,
oux lamented Deacon-aidl^ Geo.
WJjitley died on a Friday of
tiiii y#«r. Ife was buried the

to nvoid 4 Sunday funeral.
