The Bottom of the Sea 4"

One OF the most interesting features OF
this play Is the pantomiinc work OF the
players, and the swimming about OF all
strange kinds Of fish. The effect is indes-
cribably thrilling and has made sensa-
tion everywhere seen. The last act is an
examination by the Admiral Of the French
Navy OF an innocent man for the mur-
der at the bottom OF the sea, but who is
proven to be innocent. The real murderer
Is found and he makes a terrific leap from
a high cliff INTO the sea to escape the law.
The plot is one that can be best under
stood by witnessing the play itself. How
ever, theatre goers will hail with gratitud
a new piece removed from the convention
al melodrama. The action Is quick and
stirring and there are more sensation
alsms In the representation than any
scenic spectacle now travelling, and while
the story is weirdiy imaginative, yet 1t is
said not to outrage the bounds OF posi-
bility. The play will be produced at
Keitb's Opera House commencing Mon
day next.

Of people who. while approving OF life ana

cute the hapless individuals i'll the Church
who promote its life and growth by their 1resh

and doctrines. The PRESBYTERIAN Church IS

ing that they are good to-day. such an atti-
ude is one of the pulling things about &C.
nominationalism but pulling or not, IT is
factor that must be reckoned with by all
original thinkers like Professor Briggs.
There is a large and influential minority IN
the Church. however. which will not only ques-
tion the propriety of trying Professor Briggs
1T all. but will consider his trial before the
General Assembly as contrary to the spirit ana
letter Of the law. For it involves, among othcr
things. recognition of the Ncw-York Presby-
tery's Investigating Committee, as an original
marty. no longer the creature OF the prcsDy-
tory. but the mouthpiecc of the whole Presby-
tcrian Church. a view which many good thoo-

also ignores the generally accepted principle
fiat an appeal from the action of the Prcsby-
torv in tho first instance should be made to
tbc next higher body. the Synod, instead of

technical points. of course, as to which the
outsider can have no opinion but if they have
any validity. an appeal by Professor Briggs
m the civil courts would result in the setting
aside of the present proceedings against him.
in which case the matter would be further from
settlement than ever.
But without anticipating the future, it may
he said that the present issue before the Church
is one of great gravity. \ failure to try the
Professor would keep the Church in Il continual
state of fcrmcnt that would interfere seriously
with it's growth, while, on the other hand, his
trial and probable condemnation threaten 10

The longest Parliaments since the passage
of the Septennial Act by the Wings IN the
reign of George | have been those dissolved
in 1920. 1865 and 1850. The first two Parlla-
ments had each lasted six years one month and

he will have the evil reputation of violating
without warrant or Justification all the prcce-

DISSOLUTION DEFERRED.

The UnioniSts have profted at once by Irish
disaffection and indifference in the division on
the Local Government BILL The large ma
iority obtained by them has encouraged them
to hold on TO Office and TO defer the general
elections until the next year. The Cabinet
Council has not settled the question. and a
definite declaration OF policy is yet to be made
by Mr.. Balfour but the party whips whose
opinions have been eagerly sought by Con-
sentative members. have indicated with CON
fidcnce the determination of the Government
not to dissolve Parliament at the end of the
next month but TO defer the general elections
until the spring of 4 1913. The Irish members
will be largely responsible for this change of
programme il it be effected If their thirty
absentoes had been whipped in to the support
Of the Opposition in the critical division Of last
week. the Government would not be seriously
considering to-day the cxpediency of prolong-
ing the term of Parliament beyond the limits
authorized by the constitutional practice of the
century.
The Salisbury Government if it decides TO
defer the general election until next year will
exhaust the resources Of the Septennial Act.
This will be the longest Parliament of the
present reign, and will lack by the end OF the
next spring only few months for completing
its seventh year. The Opposition will be great
y exasperated by the delay, and it is not i'm
probable that it will make the repeal of the
Septcnnal Act one of the issues of the next
canvass. Certainly it will have just cause for
reproducing the Government with making an
arbitrary Use of the d-time statute in defiance
of Parliamentary prcccdents A Government
placed in power by the constituencies in 1886
has already ceased to be a representative body.
If the elections are deferred for another year.

TIE TRIAL or PROFESSOR BRIGGS.

Nor Is the opposition to him merely theological
No one who has followed with any care the
controversy raised over his utteranccs can have
failed to notice that bitter personal hostility
to him exists in the Presbyterian Church This
hostility has been roused partly by the radical
character of his views on the Bible. partly by
his aggressive and raspng way of stating
these views and partly by the somewhat I'M
