animated discussion took place in the Lower House of Convocation, ou February 19th, in regard to the pros amouding the baptismal zervior, exception being taken to the re tention in it of allusion to Noah and the Ark Canon Newbdt asked if they
were going to repuliste Christ's words: "As it was in the drys of Nonh." The Old Testament allusions were frequent in the writings of St. Peter and St. Paul, hat it somed to him that St. Peter and St Paul would stand very little chance of being listened to in Conven- tion to-day. The Bible was being attack ed openly and insidiously, and if they omitted allusions to the Old Testament they would make it appear that it was not a book to be quoted in a civilised auriety.
Although declaring that there "never WI શ more loyal old Tory." Canon Wood supported the proposal to omit them, because he maid, We are over

But it was this very af force and this had captured the sinds use of force for material and not moral ends that provoked the war. Having kicked Prussianism out of the front door, it must not be admitted at the back. The Minister of Labour did not properly represent the interests of Labour. The recent Tube strike, if the human aspect of the matter had been considered, might have been avoided. There should be a peace conference to determine the organ isation of industry at home.
The Bishop of Lichfield accended,
The Bishop of Hereford moved an amedment to substitute the following for the latter portion of the resolution:
"This House earnestly hopes that the organised associations of employers and working-men will co-operate frankly with the Government in secking a permanent solution of the dangerous problem of industrial unrest on lines of justice and sound economy, and pledges itself to exert all inluence in the same direc tion."

In doing so the Bishop declared that miners lived an isolated life, and did not in the least realise what the effect of their industry had upon a hundred other industries. The conditions of miner's work condemned him to a babit of irresponsibility, which hardly had a parallel in any other body of organised workers. The miners must stand with the and they must play the game.
