foP the young men of the European
countries which are at war. John r.

all men who are in the armies.
The following is the special subject
of prayer today:
For Christians Everywhere.
That the hearts Of Christian people
may be lifted above all tumult and
strife to God in His majesty and love,
and that through this time of stress
the bonds which uLite those who are
in Christ may be maintained unbroken
That in the fierce ness of this upris-
ing of brother against brother Christ
ians may not deny their Lord. but may
seek more earnestly to reincarnate
His spirit in their daily living.
That they may therefore be always
alert to minister TO the needs Of 9th.
ers, without regard to nationality, and
to obey in every way their SaViour's
new commandment of love. -
That the present experience may
convince Christians everywhere of the
sins which make war possible, may
impress upon them the wide range Of
their civic and political responsible.

The most serious thing faced by

Other differences by the Dean were:

II may be imagined that the house

they had no alternative, for if they had
not the king would have appointed

The act goes on to provide that in the
case of other public bills not money
bills. bills may be enacted into law
without the consent of the lords on GER
tain conditions. These are that the bin
must pass the house of commons three
times in three successive sessions OF par
lament though not necessarily of the
same parliament, and that at least two
years must elapse from the time of the
second reading of the bill in the first
house that passed it and the time it is
passed in the house of commons in the
third session. If this is done bill may
be presented to the king for the royal
assent without having passed the house
of lords. in fact after having been three
times rejected by that body.
This act once on the statute books the
liberal government Immediately set into
motion the machinery to pass three bills
that they had promised to the country,
but that they knew the lords would re-
ject The first was the Irish home rule
bill. the second the bill to disestablish
the Church of England in Wales and
the third was the bill to abolish plural
voting that system by which a man in
Britain votes in as many places as he
owns property. Under the two-year limit
the earliest possible day the home rule
bill might become law was May .. 1914.
while the limit for Welsh disestab!ish-

on plural voting on May 1 Of next year.

lords would throw them out
That was the situation down until
1910. As mentioned in the Introductory
article. the lords had been accustomed to
pass money bills without revision. that
being an ancient privilege of the house
OF commons. This tradition was reflected
in the American Constitution of 1877 by
the provision that revenue bills must
originate in the House of Representa-
tives, although from the very beginning

The budget of 1909. introduced by
David Lloyd George. the chancellor of the
eNchequer. provided for the levy of a
tax on land values. This was revolu-
tionary. and the lords. who themselves
own most of the land in the United King
dom. decided to disregard tradition and
they would be supported by the country
in an election. especially as they were
also urging tariff reform for the benefit
OF the working classes. Some of the
wiser heads warned them that the re-
lection of the budget might lead to the
abolition of the house of lords. but the
majority were angry and needless
The rejection accomplished. the liberal
cabinet at once dissolved parliament and

also urged. while Irish home rule and the

Asquith cabinet. supported by the coali-
non OF liberals. labor party men and
Irish nauonalis,s. was returned to power.
The lords had promised they would abide
by the decision Of the voters on the
budget, so they passed it.
