London, June Off you left a
million or two Of poor people without
restrictions of religion. you West-end
people would not take 1t as quietly as
you do said the bishop OF London in
q striking speech. contrasting the con-
dition OF the rich and poor in London.
The bishop was speaking at Grosvenor
House at meeting in support of the
Bishop Of London's Funds, which
builds churches and mission rooms in
poor districts Of London. He describ-
ed scene he saw on Saturday at Rug
by school-the boys Of which were en-
tertaining 60 men and boys associated
with their slum mission In Noting
dale. Compared with the fine ply
sique Of the public school boys. it was
really touching to see the dwarfed, un-
derfed. understood boys and men who
came from the slums. Could they be
surprised SO many Of them we're unfit
for the army? He was perfectly GER
tain that, merely for the physical point
of view, II they were prepared to rest
content with their present state of
things in the slums. 1t could only end
in the ruin of England. Did it not
account, to some extent, for the fact
that today in Canada mo Englishman

cry job going. II that went on, 10y

home, in London, he saw the best ma
terial among the young men being
wasted and demoralized by drink. De-
scribing the acute poverty In the
slums, the bishop declared that II they
were not ashamed by some Of the rev.
Citations of the report Of the poor law
could make them ashamed. He was
ashamed of the stupid way In which
the young life Of the country was be-
ing thrown away. II the report did
not stir their conscience. what would?
Quoting a statement by slum mis-
sionary, the bishop described how q
whole family in Nottingdale was exist
Ing on IS week, earned by boy, and
out OF which As week was paid In
rent Could they expect that boy to
believe in the goodness of God? Would
he not want to know where God came
In" Under all the circumstances, he
could not regard the prospect as rosy.
II they left the poor In this state, they
would leave religion. In 40 years the
Bishop OF London's Fund had built $50
churches and he believed. saved them
from q revolution that would have as
tonished the world. What they want
ed was not cheap socialism, but equali-
ty OF opportunity for every child Of
God.

ed to the nations, 500 officers have en-
tered and 1875 for the Duke OF Con-
nought's cup. which is reserved for the
English army. Eager practice has
been going on daily over model jumps
at the army centre; and nervousness
lest our army should not come up to
standard Is acute. The competitors

Gus. Officers sent by their respective
war offices, have entered from dozen
colonies and nationalities: from Cana

moment they land. partly by the ma
ton and partly by the director.
