SUNDAY FOOTBALL
The Hamilton Ministers’ Association has entered a strong protest against the advertised band parade and football match held at Huntly on Sunday afternoon. It was stated that the advertisement itself was to be deplored, as it indicated a retrograde step. While the nation was fighting for Christian principles, one of its most precious heritage, the day of rest, was being flagrantly violated, said a member. Disagreement with the Government’s policy in running excursion trains to such functions was also expressed, and it was stated that on occasions a Minister of the Crown kicked off at these Sunday football matches.
