handed was making provision for tbs
preparation of a. new Code. 1t has been
twenty years since there has been re-
vision CT the laws of the State. These
have been years of change and progress
in legislation as we'll as in everything
else. So many changes have been made
in The Code by subsequent Legislatures

law and he cannot learn it. Ignorance OF
the law excuses no one" is time

up-to-date revision of the law. how can

Will Be Erected in London, but Will
Contain No Gods.
The matter of establishing a Hin
doc temple in London, which has been
under discussion among the reform
party of the Hindoo religion ever since
the return of the Maharajah of Jaipur
from the coronation, has at last been
decided in the Affirmative.
The Maharajah, who is the most
prominent among Hindoo religious re-
formers, became impressed during his
London visit with the necessity for the
establishm of some consecrated
place for observance of their religious
duties by the numerous young Hindoo
men prosecuting their studies in Eng
land.
The temple about to be established
will not contain any gods, as the ten
ants of the Hindoo religion do not per.
nit of their establishment on alien
soil; worshipers will simply meet to-
gether, discuss the Bhagvat Gheeta or
hlndoo scriptures, and offer up their
prayers.
