Long Query List.

Rev. d. L. Edwards of the Presby-

Sunday evening sermons on "Answ-

effort to make these as practical and
helpful as possible and to get the
viewpoint of the few several dozen
letters were addressed to persons in
and outside the church membership
asking for subjects and suggestions
as to questions that are being asked.
Replies have not yet been received
from all but sufficient number
have been handed in to furnish the
minister a very interesting list or
questions from which he can select
his sermon subjects for several weeks.
Some of the questions submitted are:
Is not christianity unreasonable IN
demanding belief at the start?
Should II not furnish proof first and
then ask us to believe?
How can / know that the bible Is
the word of God?
Must | not become better man
before l become a christian?
If God knew that man was going 10
be a sinner why did He create him?
Why do church members do
wrong?
If man does the best he can is he
not as good a christian and as sure
OF eternal reward as the best men,
ber Of your church?
Why do preachers and christians
become so interested in the heathen
across the sea when there are 80
many heather at home?
What advice do you give for max
ing q success of the christian life?
How shall pray so as to get what
ask for?
What difference does 1t make what
religion a man processes or whether
he processes any at all provided he
does the best he can?
What do you do with the difficult
ties and contradictions of the bible.

row evening on Honest Inquiry.

A record in state pensions is es-
tablished in the case of Viscount
Ross, former cabinet minister, whose
death occurred recently. He drew a
pension of $4,000 yearly for twenty
one years, his total sum of 100000
in pension money having been ap-
preached only by c. p. Villiers who
established the former record of
$l50,0O0 at his death in 1898.
There are now only three former
ministers drawing pensions, Lord
George Hamilton, who receives $10,-
coo a year. Henry Chaplin, whose
pension is $4,000 yearly, and Lord
Balfour of Burleigh, who also re-
ceives $4,000. These pensions are
drawn under an act of parliament
which provides that a former men,
Der of cabinet who has no means to
maintain his dignity as an eS-min-
lister may apply for state aid.
A bill is to be introduced in the
house of commons next session which
aims at giving English women the
right to practice as lawyers. 1t is a
question whether it will receive the
support of the government, with out
which 1t stands little chance of sue
cess.
The matter has been fought in the
courts for several years and the de
cision to introduce bill results from
the Judgment of the court of appeals
which in December decided that the
present law did not give women the
right to practice. and that the only
tribunal which could give women
such rights was parliament. The
grounds for this Judgment were not
that there was any inherent unfit
ness among women which prevented
them from appearing in law prac-
tice. but merely that there never has
been a woman lawyer in England.
The court held that this common law
disability was further supported by
dictum of Lord Coke, issued over
800 years ago concerning those who
had become entitled to practice law
from time immemorial. AS old as it
is this dictum is still binding in the
English law.

Pupils Learn Farming.

Agriculture will be taken up this
month in every rural eighth grade in
the state of Michigan, as the state
course of study requires the teaching
of this subject for at least half year
in the rural schools. Last year was
the first time this subject was specif-
ically taught and despite the fact that
few teachers were qualified to handle
it, the results were most encouraging.
This year bulletins issued by the De-
partment of Public Instruction and the
Michigan Agricultural College are
available for the teachers.
The most effective work in agricul-
ture by unframed teachers last year
was in districts where the teachers
frankly admitted their lack of expert
knowledge but worked with the pupils
in learning from bulletins, magazines
and other available material and in do
ing actual experimental work in test
ting and planting seeds. and in the
use of the Babcock tester and other
farm equipment. The milk testers
cost about four dollars each and may
be used not only by the school but by
the entire community as well.
