However, the Bishop of Manchester's proposed method of grappling with a difficulty that has proved too much an inherent trait of English character to be legislated out of existence by the most determined of British statesmen, is of too ́unique a character to be entirely lost sight of. The English clergy and notably in the higher grades of the profession, have not of late years been dis. finguished for taking the lead in any important question affecting what may be termed popular Interests, and their efforts as spiritual legislators, outside purely Church matters, have seldom gone beyond their annual appearance in the House of

"curiosity, the "Deceased Wife's Sister Bill

Wz read in a religious paper that "the Social Purity Society of South Australia bas secured amendments of the law which make it easier to prove paternity."
