To those who possess it in large measure it must be very easy to depend upon it en- tirely for What one needs and de- sires, and gradually to trust in riches rather than in God. A man of large wealth is likely to become exclusive in his associations, un- sympathetic with his less fortunate brothers, and to "loe the com- mon to-uch." The life of such a man would have little room for the qualities of humility, teachableness, and open -minded ness such as Jesua saw in Uhe children whom he bless- ed and commended to his disciples as essential qualifications for en- trance into his kingdom. 25. used Oriental teachers frequently such extreme paradoxical ernal life -The Jews U'sed this comparison*.

Tlie government lias promised to in- troduce two new measures which, if ear- lied by parliament, will maKe it pos- sible tor a much larger number of wo- men to become eligible for election for town and county councils in England and Wales, and for town, county und parish councils In Scotland. As the law stands, only electors are eligible for these bodies, and us only householders may exercise the muni- cipal and local franchise, comparative- ly few women are eligible. The new bills will make it possible for anyone who has resided in tne district tor one year '.o stand for cie-'tion In that section. The practical effect of this law will be that married women and other women living in the homes of their rclatf.es may become members of these local bodies. Inquiry to Define- a Otoiitloman.
