Greek Shopkeepers Close Shops on Sunday

The Greeks also are exercised over Sunday-keeping, according to the following item, which we clip from The Christian at Work:—
Most of the shops in Athens have been kept open on Sunday. Recently a priest of the Greek Church has greatly exercised himself to put this practice down. His sermons against it were attentively listened to by the shopkeepers, who have now agreed to keep their establishments closed on the day of rest. That Greek priest would do well to come to New York and help forward Dr. Crosby’s work of closing up the liquor shops. He could be sure of steady employment.
