An Old Law In England That Few Know
still Exists.

Very fow members Of the Church of
England arc aware that the bishops have
ill the power to oblige them to present
themselves at church on every Sunday in
the year, as well as on no less than twenty
eight saints days Moreover, they could
obligc them to fast at least dozen times
a year if they felt so inclined, says the
London Daily Mail.
The act under which this power is held
by tho bishops is one passed when people
apparently were given to fighting
and other profane amusements on the
sabbath, in the reign OF Edward, A. ID.
1851. Many years later another and more
stringent law was enacted, but that has
been repealed, while, curiously enough,
tine Older law is still in the Statute book.
The latter says:
"Forasmuche as, at all tymes, men be
not SO myndefull to lawde and praise

And chopping wood and milking COWS

"He always rose at o'clock,
And went to bed at eight.
And never lay aoed till noon
And never sat up late,
He finished Latin, French ond Greek
When lie was ten years old.
And knew the Spanish alphabet
As soon as he was told.

And meier in all his life forgot

He never, never thought of play ..

Until the set Of sun.

And never banged the door,
