Sunday in the East.

By C. W. S.

THE following from the Independent shows what the Germans are doing for the Sunday:—

“Another large meeting has been held at Hamburg, Germany, on the Sunday question. Court Chaplain Baur gave the principal address. ‘The Sunday,’ he observed, ‘had a double importance—a religious and a social one. The former touched the relations between God and man; the latter those between man and man. The Sunday was a right of man. Not only the hours of divine service should be protected by law, but the whole Sunday restored to the people.’ The meeting was attended by about 5,000 people, many of whom were Social Democrats. Several of the latter spoke and warmly entered into the question; only they wished to combine it with another question—that of limiting the daily hours of work.’” C. W. S.
