Sunday Congress at the Paris Exposition

At the late Paris Exposition there was held a Sunday Congress. And as a matter of course, “the point that occupied far more attention than any other in the congress was that of legislative intervention for the protection of the Sunday rest.” To this, however, there was so much opposition that it “seemed for a time likely to divide the congress.” Yet all finally agreed in “the adoption of a resolution favoring the right of the civil law to intervene in favor of the Sunday rest, but refraining from expressing any judgment as to the application of this principle in different countries.”
