frai The Gilchrist Lecture programme for the tioi )ming winter contains an interesting rid iriety of subjects, beginning on the 28th Chi st. with a lecture on Whales and Whale apf ishing" by Mr Frank T Bullen. Our effi Hies in the Far East" is the subject of we le next lecture, and should prove highly int istructive while we cannot but congratu- a v ite the Lecture Committee on having been wh ble to arrange for the visit of Dr Andrew me Wilson, one of the most entertaining f expositors on scientific topics, in whose lands the lecture announced on Nature's rar Lrmoury" should afford real enjoyment to Th 11 classes. Lectures on Liquid Air and exi The Planet Mars are also included in nei he course. As these lectures are intended int nainly for the rank and file of the commu- th< iity, the prices for admission being fixed at ste lorrespondingly popular rates, it is to be N( loped that the public will not be slow to cat ivail themselves of the intellectual treat sai placed within their reach. If well patron- en ised the whole course cannot fail to prove a wl reat educational agency. This after all is ni the mission of the Lecture Committee, and Bi we trust their efforts to extend the people's bu range of knowledge in regard to subjects a which are of importance to all will be fully appreciated. u; The re-assembling of Parliament is fixed s for the 16th inst, and just when the prospect e of drawinn-the Hon. Member for Flintshire t out of his shell before the vacation comes to an a end seemed to be on the point of vanishing 1 he seeks to attract attention to his apparent t interest in public affairs by a letter to the c "Times." For months past Mr Samuel I Smith has been conspicuously silent, a fact which had led many of his constituents to t think it was high time he gave an account < of his stewardship. We do not say that Mr Smith has been absent from Parliament < without good cause, but in constituencies represented by Conservatives their political opponents are the first to round them up should they fail to pay them a periodical i visit or to attend regularly to their duties in the House of Commons, however good may be the grounds for excuse. And even in this division we imagine that the Radicals, with all their differences-4, shades of opinion," if we may borrow a phrase of Mr Asquith's —would prefer that their Parliamentary representative should be a person both physically and intellectually capable of discharging the duties expected of him. That this opinion is no idle one is proved by the demand in difIereot parts of the county iSence ai vbiiuub v., young gentleman whose father)0 Noncon Ids a seat in Parliament. Mr H suggest wl n, by the bye, was last Friday but the f sident of the Prestatyn Liberal Churchme concernmg Q" Governme Last Mr Smith has "spoke," or are c. wrote," and having chosen the oncon ot is his mouthpiece, he at length ™°SC^D,Ce silence on the topic uppermost in 5 ds of politicians, namely, the Bill.

"For the first time in our Sundf educatioa is dealt with as a whole. I << q Lor 11 of 1902 begins a new era. For the B minoi ne we have education made a public iQg 'Ms m, simply as education, without deftni-1l^tur(j8 limit, and without restriction of age, janthem iss, subject, or grade. Never before Whitfie here been so bold, complete, and J thirstet red a placing of the educational Harves ies of the nation in the hands of its Yest, elected representatives." The writer home m to say that those who regret the being t tearance of school boards do not, in whi< 39, realise how impossible it would nor the f )een to make them the future educa- 0 Wbor, authorities. They are, to begin with, foliage i-extensive with the need over one- also be of England they do not exist, whereas subeeq y and county borough councils exactly 1^°"^ the whole country.

Air more, ane said he was not a member of the Kaj^|! •ch of England. His traditions were a wa, jonformist, and if be bad his way the small ation measure he would frame would be the » ,hat would put them on a footing of >lete equality with their Church rivals. c £ n n they must go upon the footing that, everj v a starving people, they had got to migh ne the half-loaf in the hope that they trans Id get the rest at a later stage. His Colla ion was that the position of Noncon- j with lists, so far from beiDg worse than at Done ent,'would be greatly bettered by the Man ing of the bill. In regard to the powers Tb ie bill, be favoured the creation of larger Asat s and the policy of increasing the powers responsibilities of municipal bodies. The Lhvour em of devolution proposed by the bill si(jei "lr him U A RtAo in tbe riaht direction, the A &1,,&8 -r ne of the outcries made against the bill pari re perfectly ridiculous. The bill was med, not by Churchmen, but by educa- jjrj( aal experts and it enabled them to get Cer. of that chaos of badly-managed inefficient Bru urch schools, where the master was ^r0( )ointed, not because of his educational the ciency, but because he played the organ 11 on Sunday. Speaking as one deeply Asft erested in education, he would consider it Grc ery great misfortune if the step forward iich the preseqt bill offered should be lost Av< rely on account of sectarian narrowness. a < sen Thus we find divisions in the Opposition dra iks as real and as conspicuous as ever. gj ley have condemned the bill in the most p travagant terms, but after all the hollow- cru bs of their hostility is shown by their ™ ibility to suggest any better solution. On Ha e other hand Mr Haldane is but one of a £ 0 jadily increasing number of Liberals and Sil )ncouformists who begin to regard the Fa ;asure not only with favour, but with tisfaction. Further, we take leave to ha dorse the sentiments of Lord Hugh Cecil, b. ben, speaking in Edinburgh on Tuesday c* ght, he said that we Were told that the pe ill had brought together the Radical party, it in his belief that boasted reunion was of verv superficial character. sil iv Tirni/#* 17r»r tn IVTr Smith s letter. Ac iU ICIUUI) uvnv.v., t Ve cannot say that the writer, notwith- F tanding the moderate tone ot the language A mployed, has done anything tc soothe the f roubled waters. Indeed, it seems that he has C dded fuel to the fire. About the measure t tself he says very little beyond remarking b hat Mr Balfour must either modify or with- p [raw it, otherwise we are doomed to a 5 ong period of distracting controversy. N rhen, regardless of the merits or demerits of ( he bill, he plunges into the distracting x ;ontroversy which in a previous sentence I ie deplores. That the bill mill not be with- q irawn we have it emphatically from Mr ] fames Lowther, M.P., who in a speech 2 It itarnsgat(! last Monday night informed his rearers that they might absolutely dismiss ] from their minds the notion that the Govern- 1 ment had the slightest intention of caving in, ( md added that the Government would meet readily bona-fide conscientious scruples, only as a whole. Mr Smith evidently favours religious instruction in elementary schools; and difficult as it would be to meet all sects in the matter, he believes it is possible even now to effect some common arrange- ment on which all Protestants could unite, and that "if the Government would take counsel with the moderate laity of the Anglican Church they could devise a via J fcrmists."

The b ecent alterations to the Bee Hotel, an old-estab- n shed house situate in Bodfor Street and close to C he railway station, are deserving of notice by eason of the architectural improvements effected a s well as of the internal arrangements. Those who a emember the appearance of the building six n lonths ago now recognise quite a transformation. C leginning with the interior, we may mention that a he present handsome bar-room comprises both the Id bar-room and the space occupied by the old moke-room, rendering it one of the most com- lodious and best equipped in the town. The > ntrance hall from Bodfor Street has been nlarged and fitted up with a new vestibule, the roodwork being of mahogany and filled in with # level-edge plate glass, while the floor and walls are r iled. From the hall there is direct communication e vith the new smoke-room, which takes the place of 0 he old commercial room, new windows looking t nto Bodfor Street having been provided. The s mall compartments at the rear of the old com- i nercial room have been entirely done away with, c ,nd superseded by a large room now known as the lew commercial room, the alteration having been iffected by means of the insertion of a steel girder md joist.
