1Opinion of the Court

McDONALD, Chief Justice'.

This is a workmen’s compensation case. The trial court rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff, upon a verdict of the jury, for total and permanent compensation, payable in a lump sum. The insurance carrier has appealed, asserting three points of error.

Under its first point of error, the insurance carrier urges that the trial court should have instructed a verdict in its favor, upon the ground that the employee was performing labor on Sunday when he was injured, and that his contract of employment was therefore null and void.
