EDUCATION In THE METHODIST CHURCH.

Public Meeting OF Bishops and Minis

Gated.
public meeting In favor OF religious education
In the public schools and distinct denominational
education in parochial schools was held last even
ing in ST. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, cor
ner Of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue.
The meeting was presided over by Bishop James,
who ordered the reading of the Introductory psalm
at half-past seven O'Clock precisely. The opening
prayer was then given BY Bisnop Bowman, only
about twenty persons being then in the church. Be-
fore the conclusion OF the prayer, however, there
was o fair audience present. Bishop James
made the opening address, In which he alluded to
Of Education which the Cnurcn had recently estab-
lished, and showed Its true Importance, necessity
and etiects; He then Introduced to the audience
comments on the present public school system,

81 Ss & Mac q s On
showing IN detail It's advantages and disadvan.
tsges, and giving TO the Board his plans for edu-
children In separate depomipet etionai schools. The
estsd con- sSSafon was listened to sstentiysy @

gave isideas Of the best system Of education ID a
brief but compact address, He denied that edu-
teaching. Education irrespective OF religion was
mot education. The present public school system
ne said, owed It's origin to the old parochial and
UNCONVENTIONAL schools, formerly everywhere es-
tablished. To make all education secular was
simply absurd, and any plan to do so could never
be made feasible. After the conclusion Of the rev.
erend Doctors discourse Bishop James requested
the audience to sing the "Doxology," which being
blessing, when the meeting formally adjourned.

that, as q bitter enmity existed be-

As our relations with Spain are
not OF the most pleasant character,
and q tussle with her on the high
seas is not an impossibiity, some
statistics in regard to her navy may
not be uninteresting, She has seven
ty-two screw steamers, carrying an
aggregate of 726 guns. Six Of these
steamers are iron-clad, carrying from
thirteen to forty guns each. There
are also twenty-four paddle stea mers
carrying total of 127 guns, and
thirteen sailing vessels, carrying 2O2
guns The total, therefore, is 100
vessels, carrying 1858 guns, The
naval force numbers 1900 officers,
5000 marines and 1900 sailors.
The ironclads, with one exception,
were built in England, and are forms
liable vessles. The navy, however,
is much smaller than eur own, even
at the present time, and probably
much less effectively manncd.-Ni-
