AN exchange in speaking OF the recent
election in Italy says: "For the first time,
a national parliament was chosen by uni
versal suffrage, even the great mass of
illiteracy being admitted to the power of
the ballot Their exclusion until they had
learned to read would have been wiser.

frage have turned out well. Heretofore,
no party has had working majority in
the parliament. But the ministry which
decreed this great change has secured a
majority. In some cases the elective fran
chise was exercised foolishly. and the great
cities generally have elected radicals. But,
after allthe difficult problem of governing
a country unused to parliamentary forms
and even to national unity, has been sim
plifed by the change"

Testament writer's constructed their con-
ception Of God from the example of their
animal irclinations and appetites and not
from the example Of their reason and

and barba7ous. As natural consequence,
then, ne must reject the New Testament
writers who quote from the Old Testament
