Another modernist manifesto was

statement to the bishops by the Prot

Promotion of Evangelical knowledge.
Asserting there has been steady

autocracy of the Eptscopate." the
statement declared this tendency
must be resisted and defeated-must
be corrected before the peace of the
church can be re-established."
Four questions to the bishops were
appended to the statement-whether
a clergyman was within his rights In
basing his teachings on his interpre-
tation of the Scriptures; whether the
recent pastoral letter Of the house of
bishops was determinative in inter-
pretation of the Bible; whether un-
provable religious doctrines could be
termed facts" and whether 1T was

In the present laying competitions
the rate Of mortality to date go weeks,

follows: In the pens below 800 eggs,
% dead, or $40 per cent; above 800
eggs 10 dead, or per cent.
Number of deaths in the twenty high
pens was 3 and in the twenty low
pens the total deaths numbered II.
Forty pens registered 500 or more
eggs-hfty-two pens scored less than
500 eggs.
These figures are practically in the
same proportion every year and the
low rate Of mortality in general, or
FOR the 800 birds. is very much lower
than is found in the average flock.
There does not seem 10 be any doubt
