New England Congregational churches, Ia. ~.
number Of church members 10 Of late ysau,-

whole number of church members, which II Is4s

averages less than three 10 each church in ~
State Similar results are noticed in tho otAar
New.Eusland States. A vigorous disc assioa d N.
ing on in the religious papers - TO the causes Il
this decline. Some strors Presbyterian p.psu
see in it 8 proof of the nf.riority Of the Cssgss
gatonal system Of church government - compared
with the Presbyterian. The Quie6stic secsinsf
the church complains bitterly of the introlacsios

growth Of religion. On the other hand, il 10 b.
sisted that the complication Of tho churches with
prevalent wrongs and abases has gr@th
diminished their moral hold on the somumiiv.
Others trace the decline in the numsxicL
various neologies which have undermined. 10 q
great extent, the faith of tho New.Engi.ua

There ia, however, another view Of the subject
which ought not to be overlooked. This aactas.
ton in the numerical strength Of the churches 10 u
new thing in the history Of New England, and doss
not afford any very accurate test 90 to the hoh Of

discussing the subject seem to think, 40 absolus
proof of the decline Of religion. Fifty years ago.
the New England Congregational Churches wsss
much weaker in point of numbers than asprsseuk
At that time many of them had hardly any mak

years ago to increase the number Of church msn-

numerical strength is, perhaps, but natural ~

The N. Y. Times thinks the prosiso 10 tho bogus
Constitution Of Kansas that said Consttatioa mag
be amended In certain mode "gfier 1864" doss
not present its amendment in that or any other MODE
prior to 1864. Hear IL
"Ths provision is expressly confined to smsndmsats
that may be desired after the year 1864. Previous y
that time, the Contribution by its terms win
be entirely the hands Of The People. Indeed this
must be so in any There IL DO power which oaa
bind the People Of sovereign State not to change.
alter amend their Constitution whenever they Sc
fit. This point bas been tested and over again
by the State Of New-York as we'll as other States.
The old Constitution Of this State prescribed mods
for its amendment similar In form to this CLAUSE
In the Constitution of Kansas. Bat the Legislature.
disregardpg utterly this provision, submitted 10 H.
popular vote in 1915 the question whether they would
have q Convention TO make Q new Constitution, end
1t was voted BY large majority. The Conveotioa
was called and the Constitution Of 1916 was frsmsd.
Precisely the same course may be pursued in Kausss.
The rery merit reek after admission, the Legislature
may summon the people to declare whether they via
have new Constitutional Convention or not The
entire control their domestic affairs then passes
Ia to their own hands. The Federal Govesnmsnt hes
TO longer any rYetext for interference and this Of sk
will be very great gain for the actual majority Of the
people"
We can comprehend this though we are sure
it is utterly erroneous. But We cannot understaaA
what The Times means BY holding, in connection
with the above, that it is Of sreatnay, vital-in-
pOrtancs that the Free-State men should vote on
this Constitution on tho 2st Of December. It's
certain to be adopted anyhow; and il the FreeStsts
men may take control Of the Government and sltss
the Constitution the very next week after ID
miison,' we do not zee how it 10 material that
the Constitution should be adopted In this snaps
rather than in that. II will be Is easy to eIcrese
the unlimited Slavery Of one form as tho Limited
Slavery Of the other. Why not
OF course, We hold The Tasss utterly wrong
with regard TO the power conceded to the People
to change this Constitution prior to 1866. We
perceive no such power But il We saw this mat
ter through The Times's 'pectacles, We should not
care whether the Constitution were adopted In To
enc form or the other.
