The announcement by the Sincere Ca. that their store will open ca Sundays at 1 & instead of 9.30 a.m, in order that their employees may have an opportunity of attending church is a striking manifesto tion of the willingness of some Chinese to assist the furtherance of Christian religion in China. We understand that most of the holders of senior appointments in the branches at Shanghai, Hong: kong. and elsewhere are Christians, and the enthusiasm with which the company is spreading the ideals held by many of their employees is evidenced in the Bible classes and evening classes arranged for members of their staff. It is hardly fair to expect Chinese stores such as this to close entirely for Sunday when the preponderating majority do not observe the day, and. in doing what they are, the management must be encountering some pecuniary loss, This makes their act all the more creditable and an example which might well be followed elsewhere.
