"J. B.," Fredericton, New Brunswick, calls attention to the large amount of wholly unnecessary work often desired by employers of gardeners on Sunday, in Canada and in the United States.

It is undoubtedly the interest of every person, outside of any ecclesiastical authority, to have one day in seven as free from secular employment as possible. Those who insist on any more labor from their employees than is absolutely necessary, are only aiding in forging a chain that may eventually bind themselves.

On the other hand, many who are lax in their observances of a seventh day of rest from secular work, are so in protest at the ecclesiastical authority that assumes to control individual action. While these different views prevail, unanimity of action is practically impossible.
