"This request is being made to. the mayors because the ;rivilege is highly prized by the émale workers in the shipyards, and it is generally found that to permit the female worker to parâ€" ticipate in the ceremony in this way, has a beneficial effort upon the morale of the yard," the letter continued.

We would imagine that, were they thoughtful people, they might, question their conâ€" sistency: if the Church means so little that they can neglect its fellows{ip all life long, what can it possibly signify, except trivial social convention or gross pagan superstition, to call on the minâ€" istry of the Churchâ€"to assist them in the disposition of the remains of their dead? * We might say moreâ€"but we are leaving the question with you: How can those who benefit by, and indeed seek at times for the services of the Churches, but who at no time give even nominal attendance at the services of worship â€"how can they escape the label "parasite".
