How They Would Fare.

By comparison of this table with the
one showing the present division, it
will be seen that an equal apportion-
ment would take from the first district
three senators and three representa-
tives; from the second, half a senator;
from the third, three senators and two
representatives; from the seventh, one
senator, and would add as follows:

It takes a very little study Of this

be shown more graphically in another
way. AS there are practically twice
as many house members as senators,
senator has the same voting value as

said to have three members; district

four members, and SO on. Figuring in
this way, the Legislative. strength Of
the first congressional district is SO,
and the ratio is 'one member to 5,75S

how the ratio varies in the districts:

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.
Annual Meeting of American Society
Friday Afternoon.

The annual business meeting of the Amer
ican Society of Religious Education was
held Friday afternoon In the parlor of the
Shoreham.
Dr. J. E Gilbert, the secretary, made the
report, which was for the sixteenth year, he
having filed the Office continuously from
the beginning. The permanent features of
the society have been carried forward reg
u!arly during the year. The system for the
training of Sunday school teachers, begun
In 1889 has now been extended TO thirty
six states. The Bible study course designed
for the individual study Of the whole Bible
on a chronological and topical plan, has
gone into twenty-eight states. The expo
sitions of the international Sunday school
lessons for the secular press, begun In 1894
have been extended to twelve cities, and a
total of 800 COO 600 copies Of the lessons
have been issued The memory course for
little children has reached the large sale Of
ID 900 These four departments of the So
ciety. according TO the report, are firmly
established and are conducted with very
slight outlay of labor.
Five conventions have been held during
the year, in which papers and addresses
have been presented discussing important
biblical and religious topics connected with
the subject of religious education. In each
instance the people of the community have
been permitted to attend the sessions.
Reference was made to the world confer
ence on the subject of religious instruction
In the home to be held in Leige, Belgium, in
which the secretary had been invited to
participate. On account of inability to at
tend because of other engagements, 1t was
determined 10 send address TO the con-
vention.
The plan of visiting the transM ississppi
region, including Hawaii and the Philip
pines, by a commission, with the secretary
as chairman, was reported. The visitat ton
will be made IN July, August and early au-
tumn, and the commission will include
Mexico in it's tour. 1t is proposed TO hold
assemblies in the chief towns and discuss
various subjects Of general religious and
educational interest.

last year the nominating committee report

on the part of the Balfour ministry
hitherto most of the passive resisters
have been content to refuse to pay the
school rate and allow their goods to be sold.
There have been more than / Geo of these
sales of household effects each a scene of
neighborhood excitement. Whenever the
victim was particularly popular person
OF very aged or very poor. or in any other
way OF sort to arouse popular sympathy,
the interest has grown to a white heat and
many converts to the movement have been
made thus.
At present the leaders OF the movement
have decided that to permit the sale OF
goods is not sufficient testimony against
the law 10 which they object. Although tho
victim of legal seizure often suffers tho
loss or a pound to pay shilling rate, yet
indirectly he does pay the rate having
forced the government to collect II. So
they have concluded that they will go the
way of the men who have accepted i'm
prtsonment rather than pay. DIR. John Cliff
ford and Rev. +. b. Meyer have both lately
said that the men who directing the
movement will make over all their possess
sions to their wives. or otherwise dispose
of them and then go to jail They believe
that the government will fall as soon rs a
score of the foremost representatives of
Englands famous 'non-conformist COM
science" have been put behind prison bars.
When IT is remembered that the men who
have reached this decision include some OF
the most famous and powerful personalities
in the empire, it will be seen that, even If it
were tenfold strong as 1t now is the
conservative party must speedily topple

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.
Promoting Sound and United Church
manship in England.
From Public Opinion.

From Public Opinion.
Most efforts for improving religious ed
ucation seem thus far to have been CEN
tered on the children or the youth, Moth
ing like the same trouble is taken to con-
tinue this training after they grow up. AS
a result a movement has been inaugurated
In England for the education of church
people. This movement Is known as the
higher religious education" and Is describ
ed for the Churchman by the Rev. Edward
L. Slater. AS to the scope of the teaching,
church history and the prayer book form
an integral part in the course.
"A better knowledge of church history
and the prayer book can do much toward
promoting sound and united churchman-
ship, but of even greater moment is the
study of the Bible. More and more We are
learning that there can be no surer foun-
dation for definite church teaching than
regular and systematic study Of the Scrip
lures which alone constitute the supreme
test of truth. At the present moment such
study Is especially urgent, and cannot be
neglected without peril. We hear much
nowadays of a new reformation and 1t is
idle to deny that a change has come over
mems ideas, and that they justly require
the great central truths to be re-stated In
terms of modern thought.
In the light of the higher criticism the
scriptures have become charged with fresh
significance and deeper meaning, without
detracting one Jot or title from their
spiritual value What Is required there
fore, is that careful teaching should pre-
pare the way and show that true criticism
is constructive, and not merely destructive.
Another subject generally taken in hand
is the study OF Christian evidences. At a
time when our book-stalls are filled with
the publications Of the nationalist press and
the secular attack upon Christianity has
been revived, 1t is clear that Christians
ought to be ready to give a reason for the
faith that is in them. The attack Is by no
means an unmixed evil, and may do much
to quicken an interest in the Christian mes
sage"
The movement exists in organizations OF
various names, the most common being in
church reading unions I'm London the So
ciety goes by the name Of the Church
Reading Union, formed In $780, and worked
by committee nominated by the late bish-
OPP Of London. In the Canterbury diocese
the organization Is called the Diocesan
Church Reading Society, and over 2,0OO peo-
pie attend the lectures given in the differ
ent centers. In the Winchester diocese the
title adopted is rather lengthy, The Win
chester Diocesan Society for Promoting
Higher Education in Religious Knowledge.'
but in spite of the rather cumbrous title
the work flourishes A step toward moro
effective organization has been taken by
the formation of central society for the
whole of England, which issues a common
syllabus and supplies papers written by
experts upon the subjects recommended"

These passive resisters" are after all,
not quite SO passive their name would
imply. They are organized to overthrow
the present government and every succeed
