The attempt of Lord Hugh Cecil,
the Dean of Canterbury and Lord Hal
flax to convert the pulpits of the
Church of England into political plat
forms does not promise to meet with
large success This trio issued circI
lar urging clergymen to use their pull
pits for the purpose of proclaimin5
against the proposed settlement of the
educational controversy and suggested
that they lay before their congregations
declaration of policy in the matter,
obtaining signatures to the same.
The various bishops of the church
were not consulted about the circular
and they are hotly resentful that it
should have been issued to the clergy.
A dozen of the most prominent bishops
of England have signed a public state
ment declaring against any such use of
the pulpit. They point out that if the
pulpit is to be used in controversy
over the educational bill it may be
used for the spread of any other polit
ical propaganda, and they want to
know where the thing would end.

There is divided opinion in Europe as
to whether the recent promise of the
Kaiser to "be good and not put med
dlesome fingers in the foreign affairs of
the German empire will make for the
peace of the world. In most of the
capitals and especially in Berlin, where
the people ought to know their Kaiser
better than outsiders do, belief is ex.
pressed that the benefits will be ben
eficial. But in Paris, where animosity
for all things German is most pro-
nouneed. the opposite view prevails.
The French all at once have discovered
that it is not the Kaiser who is re
sponsible for the things which aggra-
vate the French, but Prince Bulow, the
Kaiser's chancellor The Paris Figaro,
for instance, deplores the elimination
of the "pacifc, large minded, and noble
intentions of the emperor and the
prospect of "nothing to counterbalance
or restrain the ill-natured and provo
cative policy of Prince Bulow'
In London this phase of the question
is largely discussed, but there APP
pears to be universal qualification over
the humiliation of the Kaiser. AS their
own king is a on-essential factor in
the government, the British people
have not taken kindly to the preten

sions of the Kaiser, and, besides, they
simply don't like him.

simply don't like him.
The passage through the Commons
by an overwhelming majority of the
licensing bill is the eliminating tri-
umph of the temperance movement in
England, which has run parallel to the
temperance movement in the United
States.
Liquor makes widow or orphan
in England every twelve minutes was
one of the slogans of the temperance
campaign. Statistics were produced
to show that 1854 married men died
every year as the result of excessive
use of alchohol. This number multi
piled by 1868, the average size of fam
lilies in England, gave total of 45.445
alchohol widows and orphans year
or over 124 each day. These figares
were one of the most effective argumets
used in the campaign
The licensing bill having passed the
Commons, there is very little thought
that it will fail or be seriously amended
in the House of Lords. That the Lords
generally are not in sympathy with the
measure undoubtedly is true, but they
would not dare veto bill so univer
sally supported by public sentiment.
The upper house of the British Par
lliament is not the arrogant body the
United States Senate is. The position
of the Lords is altogether too precarious
for arrogance. Should they vote down
popular measure which had passed
the Commons a general election un-
doubtedly would be forced, and the
Liboral party would make abolition OF
the House of Lords the issue in the
campaign. There isen't peer whose
harbors any doubts as to how such a
campaign would terminate.

Rev. Robert F. Y. Pierce, D. D., pastor
of the Penn Avenue Baptist church, OF
Scranton, Pa, for the past ten years, anc
1 formerly of the Mount Holly Baptist
church. has been unanimously called tc
! become pastor of the Second Avenue
Baptist church, New York, and will as
sumo the duties of his new office April /.
This church is located in the downtown
field in what was formerly the most aristo-
cratic section of New York, and offers un.
limited possibilities for mission effort. 1t
is two blocks from John Wanamaker's de-
partment store. Iu addition to the hne
church editice, there is large parish
house, and the church maintains several
mission interests. There is already estab-
lished there Greek church, an Italian,
Hungarian, Chinese and other missions
under the direction of the church work,
all of which are generously aided by the
New York Baptist City Mission Society.
The invitation to this work is high
compliment to DR.. Pierce, for it is more
the call of the Baptist denomination to an
important centre of mission effort than the
passionate of an individual church. The
unanimous call which the church extended
to Dr. Pierce has been heartily and unani-
mously endorsed by the Baptist City Mis-
sion Society of New York City.
1t is recognized as the largest work OF
its character under the Baptist denomina-
ton in the country. While DR.. Pierce
will have pastoral charge of this import
ant work, it is understood that he will be
at liberty to continue his general evangel-
istic and Sunday school work in larger
degree than he has been able to hereto
fore. He is the leading blackboard lesson
illustrator in the country, and he is often
called the "Artist Preacher"

of hats and coats belonging to the pupils

Quoted in the front rooms OF the building
The garments had been left hanging Oh
