KING WILLIAM'S ORDER OF THE D iY.

King William has issued an order of the day to the
soldiers of the Confederate armies :
" When we took the field three months ago I
expressed my confidence that God would be with
our just cause. This confidence has been realised.
I recall to you Woerth, Saarbruck, and the bloody
battles before Metz, Sedan, Beaumont, and Strasburg
—each engagement was a victory for us.
" You are worthy of glory. You have maintained
all the virtues which, especially distinguish sol-
diers. By the capitulation of Metz the last army
of the enemy is destroyed. I take advantage of
this moment to express my thanks to all of you,
from the general to the soldier. Whatever the
future may still bring to us, I look forward to
it with calmness, because I know that with such
soldiers victory cannot fail.

WILIIELM."

THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK ON RELIGIOUS

EDUCATION.

The Archbishop of York, presiding yesterday at an
important meeting of the Sheffield Church Conference,
delivered an address on Church education. Though the
Education Bill of last session would, his Grace admitted,
accomplish much fin many districts, yet he counselled
Churchmen to maintain their own position in the matter.
The work of the Church must always begin in the schools;
from them, indeed, the future congregations of the
Church must be derived. On this account, therefore, he
urged vigorous and prompt efforts on the part of' the
Churchmen of the diocese, so that they should obtain the
Government grants available for the purpose.
