Some comment has been caused in Peking by seeing the work carried on on Sundays as well as weekdays on the new Austrian Legation. The missionary element find cases like this to be a heavy hindrance to their work. For a so-called Christian country to work regularly at building upon the Sabbath day upon a govere"nent bui ing, acts.as a stumbling block to the weak native Christian, who is only too glad to point to a big foreiga country that apparently can satisfy its conscience by work on the Savbath. It is pointed out too that Prince Henry had his audience on Sunday.
