In A. D. 313 the Emperor Constan-
tine of Rome granted liberation to the
Christians, and in 321 he gave imperial
sanction to the observance Of the first
day of the week. The edict which in

ance runs: "On the venerable day of the
sun let the magistrate and people re-
siding in cities rest and let all work
shops be closed. In the country, how
ever, persons engaged in the work of
cultivation may freely and lawfully
continue their pursuits, because it Of
ten happens that another day Is not so
suitable for grain sowing or for vine
planting, lest by neglecting the proper
moment for such operations the bounty
of heaven should be lost"
