THE NONCONFORMISTS AND THE EDUCA-

TION BILL.

The meeting of the Nonconformists at St. James's
Hall resulted in a very vigorous declaration against
religious teaching in rate supported schools. Mr.
M'Arthur M.P., was in the chair. He said that if the
Bible were introduced into denominational schools some
such plan as Mr. Vernon Harcourt's should be adopted to
provide against sectarian teaching. Nonconformists
would strenuously oppose power being given to local
boards to determine the religious character of the
schools aided by local rates. All denominational formu-
laries or catechism should be rigorously excluded, He
trusted no Government would attempt to carry a measure
against the great and influential body of Nonconformists
of the country. School boards should be at once estab-
lished in every part of the country, and any system of
education should be compulsory. The Rev. A. Hannay
moved—" That this meeting, while cordially recognising
the value of the amendments proposed by Mr. Forster,
to be introduced into the Elementary Education Bill,
feels compelled to express its conviction that so long as,
under its provisions, any classes may be required to
pay rates for the teaching of religious tenets,
from which they dissent, the Bill cannot have the
approval of Nonconformists." It was not true that the
opponents of the measure were conspiring against Mr.
Forster to hamper him and attack him; their feeling
was one of disappointment and surprise, rather than
anger ; and so far from factiously opposing the Govern-
ment,
i many had brought themselves to perilous conces-
sions n order to help the Government out of the difficulty
in which it had placed itself. He advocated the exclusion
of the Bible as a class book from the common schools.
He would have every child taught the Bible, - but taught
by proper teachers and in proper institutions.
—Mr. Illingworth, M.P., seconded the resolution. He
agreed with the late Mr. Cobden that the only solution of
the education question was to have a non-sectarian system.
—Mr. H. Richard, M.P., supported the resolution. The
attitude of the Government had compelled many of its
best friends to assume a position of friendly antagonism,
but that did not imply any disaffection towards the best
and noblest Liberal Government which the country
had, ever seen. No man had more earnestly sought
or taken more pains to obtain, a fair and satis-
factory solution of the difficulties, confessedly serious
and formidable, which beset the question, than the
Prime Minister himself. He (Mr. Richard) could not
speak in other than the kindest and most respectful
terms of Mr. Forster, who was not only an able but honest
and 'conscientious man, who, Nonconformists should-nut
forget, had given them the Endowed Schools Bill of
last year. He warmly appealed to his brother Noncon-
formists not to betray their principles.—The Rev. A.
Mursell supported the motion in an amusing speech, and
it was carried unanimously.—Mr. P. W. Clayden
moved, " That, considering that a number of denomina-
tional schools have been called into existence under
the minutes of the Privy Council, this meeting does not
urge the withdrawal of the grants they at present receive,
but deprecates any extension of the denominational
system of education at the cost of the State, and heartily
approves of the application of the time-table conscience
clause to those schools, and of the abolition of all inquiries
on the part of the Government inspector into the religious
teaching given in them."—Mr. B. Scott seconded the
motion, which was carried with a few dissentients.—The
Rev. J. G. Rogers moved " That in relation to schools
established or aided by local school boards out of the
rates, this meeting believes that the difficulties of the
case may be met by prohibiting the use therein of any
religious catechisms or formularies, or the teaching of any-
thing in opposition to, or in support of, the tenets of any
sect—this prohibition not to apply to the use of the Holy
Scriptures, but such use, wherever adopted, to be under
the regulation of the time table conscience clause, so that
the attendance of any child at such Bible lessons shall
not be compulsory."—The Rev. C. H. Spurgeon seconded
the motion. Nevertheless, he did not sympathise with
much of what he had heard. He trusted he should
never allow his Nonconformity to outride his Christianity
or love for the Bible. He was sorry to differ from what
he felt to be the current of the meeting, but his opinion
was that Government had better have left education alone.
If the Nonconformists of England had been logical they
would, instead of allowing Government to touch it, have
been more liberal themselves in its support. It was a
gross falsehood to say that voluntaryism had failed: The
Nonconformists now had made a great concession, but
they.had violated their logical position. His conscience
required that the Bible should be read in the school where
his children were taught, and if the Bible were excluded
he would preach defiance of the Government up and down
the land. He believed the majority of Nonconformists
agreed with him. The motion having been carried, the
meeting separated.
Other meetings have been held. At Birmingham the
Central Nonconformist Committee have resolved unani-
mously to support Mr. Richard's motion, to the effect that
in the opinion of the committee in any national system of
elementary education, the religious teaching should be sup.
plied by voluntary effort, and not out of the public funds.
the committee' adhere to their resolution passed at the
last meeting to support Mr. Winterbotham's amend-
ment on the seventh clause, providing for the teaching of
the Bible without note or comment. A committee of
leading Nonconformists has been appointed to remain in
London while the Bill is before the House., for the purpose
of watching the progress of the measure in Committee.—
At Halifax the supporters of the League have met and
passed resolutions affirming that in all schools maintained
or aided by local rates, theaching of creeds, catechisms,
or tenets peculiar to any sect should be prohibited by the
Legislature ; that it was of the utmost importance that
the Education Bill should include compulsory provision
for securing the attendance of children at school ; and that
the admission of children to schools supported or aided by
local rates should be free.

The assassins of Prince d'Arenberg, bearing the
names of Schischkoff and Gribennikoff, have been found
guilty and sentenced to fifteen years' hard labour in the
mines of Siberia, with perpetual banishment. The court
was crowded during the trial, and some disappointment
was caused by the criminals giving in at an early stage of
the proceedings and confessing everything.
THE ABYSSINIAN RECORD.—We are glad to hear
that her Majesty's Government intend to send an Eng-
lish officer with the presentation copies of the official
record of the Abyssinian campaign to the different
crowned heads of Europe. This is an excellent idea, and
does credit to the War Office. One of the greatest results
of the Abysinian War was, that it restored our military
crttlit in Europe and America ; indeed, probably, had
much to do with improving the tone of American feeling
towards this country ; and as, moreover, the leading
continental Powers sent special commissioners to study
o•ir operations in Abyssinia, it is a simple courtesy to
them, as well as doing credit to ourselves, to present them,
with the greatest formality possible, with copies of this
splendid record of a splendid achievement.—Homeward
Mail.
DEATH FROM lIYDROPHOBIA.—A boy named
Thomas Cowan, aged about eight years, son of a widow
residing in ,Berwick, has died of hydrophobia. On the
20th of May a terrier dog had been fighting with another
dog, and went home in a very excited state. Shortly
afterwards it attacked the boy, and inflicted several very
severe wounds on his face and other parts of the body. A.
Miss Young, in endeavouring to screen the boy from the
dog, was also bitten. The boy's wounds healed well, and he
so far recovered that he was able to he about on Tuesday ;
but on Wednesday symptoms of hydrophobia sheaved them-
, selves.' A medical gentleman gave it as his opinion that
he was suffering from hydrophobia in a most aggravated
form. This opinion was corroborated. The little fellow
got gradually worse, and became very violent. He foamed
at the mouth, bit and scratched at every person who ap-
proached him, and had to be tied in bed. His sufferings
were very great, and in this condition he continued until
his death the other morning. A meeting of the justices
has been held, when it was resolved to give notice to the
public against allowing dogs to wander at large.
