Church Property in Scotland.

A judgment recently delivered in the

it there will probably be great relig-

In October, 1900, there occurred the
famous union of the Free Church OF
Scotland with the United Presbyterian
Church. Twenty-four Free Church
ministers opposed the union. and
through the Scotch courts and the
House of Lords have fought their claim
to the whole property of the Free
Church.
The courts rejected the claim. but
the House of Lords, by majority OF
two, reversed that judgment and rem
dered a decision which places in the

The Origin of s'Kickers

gesting that cross pieces of timber be
placed along the roof Of the canal,
which was very low, and men could
lie on their backs on top of the loaded
barges and kick the vessel along.
After the barge was once started this
was found to be feasible.
The men could easily keep the load
in motion by the means suggested,
and it has ever since been in use.
There is no question about the low
grade of this sort of work, and even
the men who follow it are constantly
kicking around the villages where
they live. They were known at the
mines officially as 'kckers because of
their work. and their vocal complaints
continually indulged in, caused every
