Sunday in England and America,

The question of opening museums,
libraries, art galleries and other public
institutions of an educational charac-
ter on Sundays is in England, as it is
with US, one of those puzzling prob
lens which seems difficult of solution.
The subject was discussed recently
with, unusual; vigor and earnestness in
the House of Lords, the Duke OF Ar
gyll on the one hand and Lord Dun
raven on the other being the chief par
elephants in the debate. Lord Dun
raven made ans exceedingly forcible
argument by pointing out that Eng
land in adhering to the lookup policy
was an exception among all the Prot
estant countries of Europe. In Ger
many, Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Holland and Switzerland the museums
and picture galleries are all open to
the public on Sundays, and it certain
~ cannot be claimed that the Church
is any weaker or in greater danger on
that account in those countries than it
is in. England. 1t is curions that
among the nations, purely Protestant,
Great Britain and the United States,
which in all other respects are the
most advanced and enlightened, should
be governed and controlled in this
matter by the ideas and traditions OF
two hundred. years ago. The causes
that have contributed to this result
may be easily discovered. Puritanisn1
