With this pronouncement, as one of the bishops. I agree. The pronouncement means this : That on these occasions of national or civic- commemorations. we as individual citizens can take, our part, ihe meeting will be in a public place, and our clergy will not wear their robes nor use our book of praver. ouch a gathering will not be in anv Vav a substitute for the proper services of our t hnrch. and it should be hVld at such a time as not to interfere with our own services.
