The troubles OF the Ministry have been scarcely less on
the Education bill the Land butt looks to-day as

being what it ought TO be, but will postpone all account

pious difficulty in education is purely imaginary.
Jewish father residing at Tottenham sent his son 10
denominational schoo-one OF those which, presume
under the new bill are have increased grants OF GOV
eminent funds The teacher put into the boys hahds
little tract called "The Parents Best Gift" containing
the Church catecbism together with questions ana all
swers out Of the Scriptures On the twenty p'eo
occurs the following question and answer;
O. Who crucifed Christ A. The bloody JewsI
Tho boy read and pondered went home met his rather
and startled him with the remark: "Oh, you are
bloody Jewp The father, with exceptional courage
wrote letter TO the Bishop of London, saying, that
while he wished his child educated in the Christian iah
he could not but feel that such expression was onen
sive" Ihaye the Bishops answer; perhaps may
as well quote it in full: 49,, NJ, .. ,era

One would think the Bishop might have used some eA
preston of civil regret for the needless insult that nau
been offered, but no matter If you admit that the
technical defense was sufficient the book not being pup
hed by express authority OF the Church. it is none the
less true that il had been used in the school, ana gwen
to this Jewish boy by Christian master Inc spirit OF
sectaran teaching was there and while 1t remains, inc
religious difficulty will remain, and any scheme OF
national education that is not secular in the sense OF not
being sectarian WILL venture to predict prove neither
satisfactory nor lasting. O. VS.
