SESSION OF HOUSE OF COMMONS
JUST OPENED PROMISES TO
BE MOST IMPORTANT.
ATTACK On HOUSE OF LORDS PLANNED
INCREASED HOME RULE FOR IRE.
LAND AND ARMY REFORMS
ALSO ON PROGRAMME.

London, Feb. 13.-The second ses-
sion of the second parliament Of the
present reign, which promises to be
cull of interest and Importance as
consequence of the projected Liberal
attack on the house of lords and the
introduction of an installment of home
rule for Ireland, was opened by King
Edward with all the imposing cere-
monies which has attended these
functions since his accession.
The speech from the throne fore
shadowed full and busy session de.
voted to Ireland, army reforms and
temperance, apart from the over
shadowing question of the house Of
lords. The rest of the speech was
devoted to the proposed licensing bill,
the object of which is to diminish the
drink evil; proposals for the improve
ment of the army organization and
Irish local government and education
questions and number of minor
measures, including the establishment
of a court of criminal appeal. On the
Irish question the king said:
Your attention will be called to
measures for further associating the
people of Ireland with the manage
ment of their domestic affairs and
otherwise improving their system of
government in it's administrative and
financial aspects. Proposals will also
be submitted to you for effecting a
reform of university education In Ire
land, by which, trust, that the diff
culties which have so long retarded
higher education in that country may
be removed"
Sop to Woman suffragists.
Among the domestic legislation fore
shadowed in the speech from the
throne was "a bill enabling women to
serve on local bodies," evidently In
tended as a sop to the woman suf-
fragists.
Serious questions said the king,
affecting the working of our parlia.
mentary system have arisen from the
unfortunate differences between the
two houses. My ministers have this
important subject under consideration
with the view of solution OF the
difficulty"
After the usual reference to the
good relations prevailing between
Great Britain and other powers the
speech deplored the loss Of business
and destruction of property resulting
from the earthquake at Kingston.
IL have seen with satisfaction" said
the king, that the emergency has
been met by the governor and his Off
GERS with courage and devotion and
by the people with self-control. The
occasion has called forth many proofs
of practical good will from all parts
of my country and l recognize with
sincere gratitude the sympathy shown
by the people of the United States and
the assistance promptly offered by
their authorities"
The points In the kings speech
which attracted the most attention
were the references to the Kingston
disaster and the house of lords. When
his majesty spoke gratefully OF the
assistance rendered by the American
navy to the earthquake sufferers he
turned in the direction Of the diplo
matte body and bowed to Ambassador
Reid.

lief quite apart, and shared by the priests and
highly educated classes only. The doctrine of
this religion taught that there was but one
mighty Being "the sole producer of all things
both in heaven and earth, himself not produced
of any, the only true living God, seh-originated,
who exists from the beginning, who has made
all things, but has not himself been made" Mr..
George Rawlinson notes this In his excellent
work, "Ancient Egypt" and he further quotes
the Egyptian poets in such expression as the
following: "Hs is not craven in marble; He s
not beheld; His abode is not known; no shrine is
found with painted figures Of HIM there is no
building that can contain Him. His commence.
ment is from the beginning; He Is the God who
has existed from old time; there Is no God with
out Him; no mother bore Him; no father hath
begotten Him; He is God Goddess, created from
Himself; all Gods came into existence when He
began"
The various deities represented to the popu
lace the many parts or attributes Of the one great
Divine Being-as Ptah the Creator or Architect
of the world; Kneph, the creative mind; Thoth,
Divine Wisdom, and so on, indefinitely. Mr.
Rawlinson observes that mo educated EQyptian
conceived of the popular gods as really distinct
beings. All knew there was but one God" II
was but one Divinity that the people worshipped
though they prayed to him in many forms.
