Resignation of Rev. Chas. E. BeaIs.

The resignation of Rev. Charles Z
Beals as pastor of the Old South Con-
greSational church of this city to take
effect March l was read at the close OF
the morning service yesterday. II
came as a great surprise to many OF
his people and will be heard with deer
regret by the entire city. Mr.. Beais
has only been in the pastorate about
one year, bat in that time he has not
only endeared himself to his own. but
to every other church, and the citizens
generally. He is a scholarly, Christian
gentleman and to find a successor as
well equipped win not be an easy task
The people of Eallowell feel that they
have sustained a great loss in the re-
tireinent OF the popular pastor, and
deeply sympathiZe with Mr.. Beals and
the Old South parish in that which
appears to make the resignation neces-
Sary.

it. and no attorney for it has intimated
anything of the kind to him.
He will make the statement, ne says.

A HUGE DEFICIT
Is Said to Face England with the Pro
posed 1909 Budget.

London, Thursday, Jan. 2S.-Since the
return to town of members of the gov
eminent there have been frequent meet
ings of the cabinet to arrange the pro-
gram for the coming session of Parlia-
ment.
The Liberals in the past have made a
practice of loading the Kings speech
with proposed measures, many of which
been compelled to drop, or which have
been killed by the Lords. This expert
ence. it is understood, has compelled the
prime minister, Mr. Asquith, to start
this year with numerically small pro-
gram. Its Importance, however, is ex-
pected to exceed that of any session of
recent years. The outstanding feature
will be the budget to be introduced by
Lloyd George, the chancellor of the eX-
chequer.
This year, it is predicted, will see a
departure. In speeches cabinet ministers
have said that the budget will not be a
radical one. IF there are no radical
changes" ask the critics of the govern
ment, how do you propose to meet the
increased charges with a greatly reduced
revenue?" This is the difficult question
the country is waiting for the chancellor
of the eXchequer to answer. Experts es-
innate that the government will have to
find nearly 800, 00O, 600 more than ordina-
rily for the coming financial year.
The members of the government
have further pledged themselves TO
maintain the two power standard with
q 10 per cent. margin for the navy To
provide England with fleet 10 per
cent. better than the combined navies
Of America and Germany, the most
conservative naval officers say the
coming Budget must provide for at
least five capital ships. There are
those who hold that America should
be excluded from the estimate, as be
ing most improbable enemy. but
cabiuet ministers have made no der
mite reservations, and even if they
do, the navy estimates must be great
er this year than for many years past
On top of this increased expenditure,
which is denied by either side, is the
deficit. The great problem is where
the money is to come from. Although
the Lords have no power TO amend a
budget. they have the power TO reject
it wholly. 1t is an open secret that d
powerful section of UnionIsts urging
Lord Lansdown, the leader of the
House of Lords, to take that course
should the Budget be considered too
radical. The only possible result of the
Lords rejection of the Budget would
be an appeal to the country. With
this il, view Moderate Liberals are
urging the government to avoid if pos
sible a further clash with the Lords.
Other measures likely TO find u place
in the program are the house and town
planning and Irish land purchase
amendment bills, put off from the last
session; the India reform bill, fore
Swallowed in Lord Morley's speech at
the close OF last session and bill pro
Niding for the compulsory acquisition
of land for the foreStation scheme,
recommended by Il commission which
recently reported. In some quarters,
it is expected bill will he intro
duced for the disestablishment or the
church in Wales, for which Welsh
members have been clamorng.
