Your text-hooks, gentlemen, belie the asser
tions made in your Report. We quote again
from your Beport:
“But the Board does not desire, mid does
.not feel authorized to mingle' in the practir ’
arrangements of the PnbUe School syi
the doctrines or tenets of any particular
or creed, with the general topics of School
Education in.this country.”. -■
“Now, gentlemen, unless your Bystem is
Pagan, there muBt be some sort of Religion
in it Is it a Christian system ? Has Christi
anity any place-in it? If so, what sort of
Christianity ? j There used to be only one
sort; bat now, thanks to the fruitful Beforma-
tion, we have many kinds of Christianity. Is
the kind which dominates your Schools the
Protestant Christianity or the Catholic Christi
anity? or is it an eclectic Christianity repre
senting the “religions views” of your j|oard
of Education ? Answer that, gentlemen, and
yonr answer, in any case, will be the asser
tion of wbht you so coolly and complacently
deny. But we torn to your Buies and Begn-
lations for the Government of the Public
Schools. Under the head of “General Buies, ”
the fourth article thus reads: ..‘‘The schools
shall be opened and closed with the reading
of the Scriptures and the'Lord’s Prayer.” So
yon open your schools in Protestant style,
with a Protestant Bible, and you close them
in the same manner; and still your system; is
not sectarian. He, gentlemen; fie 1 don’t’be

Judea was filled with troops of that nation,
it is a wonder that they permitted this act of
cruelty and atrocity.
It was once the custom in the Catholic
Church to say Masses on Innocent’s Day, for
the repose of the sonls of the victims who
perished in the slanghter. From this the
day received the appellation of “Childermas.”
In his ‘(Year Book,” Mr. Hone says:
“It was formerly the custom to whip np
the children on Innocent’s-day morning, in
order that the memorial of Herod’s murder
of the Innocents might stick the closer, and
so, - in a moderate proportion, to act over the
emeltie again in kmde ? The day was deem
ed itself of espeoial ill omen, and hence the
superstitions never married on Childermas-
day. Neither upon this day. was it ‘lucky’ to
put on new clothes, or pare the nails, or be-
gin anything of moment. In the play of Sir
John Oklcastle, the prevalence of this belief if
instanced by an objection urged to an expe
dition proposed on a Friday. ‘Friday,
quoth’a, a dismal day.’ This vulgar super
stition reaohed the throne, and the corona
tion of Ning Edward IY- (according to Jenn)
was put off dill the Monday,'because the pre
ceding Sunday was Childermas-day. Lastly,
a mother, in the Spectator, is made to say at
that time: “No, child, if it please God, you
shall not go info join-hand on Childermas-
day.’”'
In some portions of England a oustom pre
vailed among the ruder classes, on this day,
which, it seems strange to us now, should
have been tolerated among civilized
people, At daybreak bands of men would
go around from house to house, being
privileged to enter each, and visit the
chambers; where they whipped, upon their
naked bodies, all young girls found in bed
offer the dawning of day.
The lawyers formerly selected Childermas
as a period for relaxation; and the “Kipg of
the Cockneys” received- especial hetrior on
this anniversary occasion. It was, in fact, a
holiday to all except those from whom it de
rived a part of its name. - The observance of
it has fallen into disuse, and we believe ilo
special services ore held in any church, at the
present day, on this occasion.
To-day, the 29th, is St. Thomas a’Becket’s
Day. He is recognized as a Saint only by
reader of
and
works.
