THE next time your gorge begins to
rise over some development of the
so-called Sunday question, par
ticularly offensive 10 your reli-
gious or non-religlous Views, as
the case may be, pray, do not vent all your
feelings on those of your fellows who difrer
radically with you. At least place part
of the blame where 1t primarily belongs.
That Is upon the shoulders of Constantine
that one who has been surnamed the Great.
For history gives him the credit of being
the first man TO raise the Sunday question
of furnishing to the story OF Sunday its
most interesting and exciting chapter,
which will undoubtedly continue to be
added to as long as the custom OF observ-
ing Sunday exists.
II was a decade and a half less than
thousand and six hundred years ago that
the great Roman emperor having pondered
long over the question of Sunday observ-
ance other than that of q religious charac-
ter-since he il was who first made Chris
tianity a state reiigion-promulgated the
initial Sunday legislation.
Immediately, three centuries after the
resurrection, the Sunday question sprang
into existence. and it has soreiy agftated q
great part of Chrlstendom ever since-eVen
to you and me.
Il may be a source of surprise to many
that the question. now so all-abSorbing ana
eriastingly with US. was so long in COM
ing to the fore. But In the early days of
Christianity the civil authorities were not
so much concerned about the manner or
the social observance of Sunday by some of
their subjects they were with the best
methods of stamping out the new religion
Then, too. IL is OF record that the primitive
church did not lay stress on any particu-
lar observance or duty to be performed on
Sunday other than that of formal worship,
Mace O
late In the evening.
This may have been due to q natural de-
sire to make the character of Sunday as
distinct as possible from the Jewish Sab
bath. or from 4 very broad Interpretation
of Christs saying that the Sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the Sab
bath" Or. again. the church while gam
Ing a foothoid. was In no position 10 insist
strongly that It's members refrain from
weekday toll At any rate number OF the
early fathers are on record as holding that
the decalogue injunction to rest should be
taken In a spiritual sense meaning ces-
sation from sin for at least one day in the
seven.
This was the attitude pretty generally
held down TO the time of Constantine the
Great, who. In an epoch-marking constitu-
ton. commanded pretty nearly every body,
except the agriculturist. In his extensive
dominions to observe Sunday by refraining
from work and resting. Even the courts of
justice were ordered closed, and Constan-
tine was powerful enough to see to It that
his decree was fairly well needed.
During the following two hundred and
forty odd years various Byzantine emperors

the l1ingdo.ns welfare. The Scottish law
of 1879 and Charlemagnes statute are the
main laws that made no exception for work
in cases of necessity or mercy. Such a
provision however, later became part OF
the Sabbath observance acts, as the Scot
fish Sunday law is known.
Practically the last widespread and pro-
found agitation that this country as a
whole has experienced because of the ques-
ton. rs the work necessary occurred in
the eighties, when a determined movement
was made by many iaymen. as we'll as
clergymen. to have the railroads legally
compelled to cease doing business on Sun
day. The question became such a serious
one for a time that well-known railway
men took to writing their views on the
matter. and. needless to say. they were all
practically agreed that the operation of
railway trains on the first day OF the week

With the advent of the trolley car the
question of transportation was opened
anew in many quarters Numerous ser
wrong of riding on 1t on Sunday, even to
church As in the first instance public
opinion decided in favor of operation and
opposition gradually died out.
Indeed, except in the days of absolute
monarchy. public opinion has usually de-
oided all questions relating to Sunday OBJ
servance- This influence naturally causes
different results in different localities For
example, despite the opposition of many
good people. the various English pariia-
ments have steadily refused to close the
licensed public houses all or Sunday, while
In the majority of our states Sunday closing
IS called for. The handling of the liquor
traffic on Sunday has ever been one of the
most difficult of the many problems COM
bining to make the Sunday question SEEM

isfaetion OF all concerned.
Undoubtedly the most extensive and con-

Sunday transportation was that OF 1899 d.

Assured of temporal support ecclesias-
teal laws on the subject speedily followed.
The fathers pronounced that slaves should
work five days, but the Sabbath day
ana the Lords day let them have leisure
to go to church for instruction and plety."
Various councils came out squarely for
Sunday rest as the centuries passed. both
church and civil laws gradually became
stricter The great Charlemagne prohibited
work of any kind on Sunday, even that OF
mercy and charity. A comparatively early
canon Law read:
1--WE decree that all Sundays be observed
from yespers to yespers and that all I'M
lawful work be abstained from so that In
them trading or legal proceedings be not
carried on, or any one condemned to death
or punishment, or any oaths be adminis
tered except for peace or other necessary
reason.
What is necessary work on Sunday has
been 81 moot problem from the opening of
the whole Sunday question. 1t has been
generally recognized. however that certain
kinds of work are frequently necessary
nay. highly essential-on that day. There
are Christ's words and acts to this effect

an important factor. The first English law

the sale of wood at the staple; so far as the

of work implicitly was necessary. At least
