SUNDAY AT THE EXPOSITION.
MR. WILSON, of Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Company, said at a meeting of the Paris Exhibitors: “As an American, I may remark, in our country we observe the Lord’s day, and by a large majority of States closed our Exhibition on that day. Here we are united and will certainly follow and act with our brother exhibitors from England and the colonies, and if you will allow of it I will move— “That this meeting of exhibitors agree not to require the services of attendants in their several departments on the Lord’s day, or to expose their exhibits where doing so would require personal care or labor.” Immediately after the reading, every hand was held up in its favor; and ten exhibitors and agents with the three clergymen present, and Mr. Weyland, were appointed to act, and obtain signatures to the resolution. A canvass was made with very great success for adhesions to the resolution, and on the Sunday, although 100,000 visitors went to the Exhibition, there was always complete cessation of business in the English-speaking departments. At a meeting held in Boston on the 12th inst., of the Woman’s American Baptist Home Mission Society, a most hearty vote of thanks was offered to Mr. Wilson, for his decisive act in regard to the observance of the Christian Sabbath at the World’s Exhibition now being held in Paris.—Evening Transcript.
