SUNDAY LAW IN CANADA.

Canada's Sunday law, which went
into effect on the first Of March, last.
is said to be satisfactory TO people gem
orally. BY it it is estimated that about
a hundred thousand men were released
from toiling on Sundays and given
liberty TO spend the day as they chose.
The province of Quebec has passed an
act which to some extent exempts 1t
from the provisions OF the general law.
and British Columbia Is said to be
contemplating some similar action. but
the other provinces have endorsed the
law ana It Is believed that ii viii be
generally accepted.
by the provisions Of the law, a man
can spend the day in any way he pleas
es, hut he can not. except in certain
cases specified, work or cause any
one else to work for him. Relative to
the railroads, all Sunday excursions are
prohibited and such work as shunung
with yard engines and making up trains
is not allowed between 6 a. m. and s
p. m. except in cases specially defined
in the act.
According to a report that appears in
the Literary Digest, the only notable
effort to break the new Sunday rest law
IN Canada was made by the Sunday
newspapers from the United states
The law went into effect on March |.
Nevertheless. we read that the papers
came bv express as usual for Sunday.
March 3. But in nearly all cases the
express companies refused TO deliver
them The news stands all over the
county refused TO ask for them. and
one party in the city Of Hamilton who
tried to evade the law was taken in
charge ana heavily fined the next day"
Canada has set the world notable
example in legislation for the protection
of the day OF rest from dissertation.
That the example will be followed may
be taken for granted People will learn
gradually that day ol rest is essen
tial to their physical, moral. and intel
lectual well being. and they will de-
mand the enforcement of existing laws.
or if they are not sufficient, the enact
ment of new laws relative to the OBJ
