faired that this step may result in the breaking aped • many

scriptions would prevent this, and, in the course of the lUD-

meet from the evening classes, to come forward end support

THE MSS EDUCATION QUESTION AND THE
I•IESBI1Ei/AIV DOD! IN ISZLAND.

The following are three of the resolutions on the
sobioct of National Education which were prepared by Dv.
Kirkpatrick, end unanimously adopted by the late 011011e111
Arembly
Vl.—That this Assembly deprecates the proposal made by
the Roman catholic hierarchy In the resolutions adopted at
their bite meeting in Dublin, in which they claim a separate
gnat from the public fund% of ouch sapient ea, "regard
had to the number. and condition of the catholic popu-
lates, will lanes foe the establishment and maintenance of
sehoots to be conducted on thoroughly catholic principles,"
that this peoporl of a separate "rant, under their own ir-
ngserbls eoetrol, is not only at variance with the funda-
mental principle of the system of national education, which
esearee liberty of conscience to the members of all churches
Whim, but is calculated to foster sioterian strife, to embitter
the feelings of separation between protrtents and Rewinds%
and to depnve the children of preebyierien paresis re-
siding in districts in which they form a mall al.
airy of .11 education, secular es well es religions, siert
on terms opposed to conscientious conviction. This Ate
ennbly also deprecates any other attempts made to obtain
separate grants for educations! purports., as having • ten-
dency to reek op the .Trim of united education.
V ll.—That this Assembly does, therefore, r abort and es-
trum° our preetrytrian people to continue to name aid
from the Board of Educetion, w long as it adheres to its
present arraneementa, at the came time watching diligently
against any infringement of the cooditions on which the
tompect was originally formed.
VII I.—That the attention of our people be urgently di.
reseed to the adoption of ensures for establishing interme-
diate "shoots, as • Bak of eonnelion between our elementary
and collegiate education ; that so our youth, being furniehed
with • world, Scriptural, and well•adjusted system of in-
strustion, comprehensive in its nage and nos-exolvelve in
ha spirit, may be trained sorry@ God in their day aced gene-
ration, and to live la charity with ell men.
