POLITICAL MEETINGS ON SUNDAYS
TO THE EDITOB oP THE PRESS Sir, —I should like to protest against the holding of political meetings on Sundays. Yesterday evening Dr. McMillan, a member of the Government, spoke at Upper Riccarlon, arid the proceedings, broadcast through loudspeakers outside the hall, were audible half a mile away. In the church on the opposite side-of the road the evening service was in progress. Is it a fair thing that the peace of Sunday evening should be disturbed by the discord of the hustings? We know the elections are imminent, that the issue is a momentous one. We read politics in the papers every day; we hear it over the air, see it on the screen, have it thrust in our letterboxes. Cannot even the members of the Government respect the _ Sabbath, and allow just one day’s respite in the week? • , If this is too much to ask, then at least political addresses on Sundays should be confined to the halls hired for the purpose. —Yours, etc., SPECTATOR. September 12, 1938.
