They aro also in antagonism on this question to tho Presbyterian Church of tho Commonwealth, which stands for tho platform of tho Biblo in State Schools League. Mr. Chisholm's motion and speech wore listened to with impatience, and, as his motion was really ultra vires (being a censure on the judgment como to by tho. • superior courts of tho Church), a keen Biblo-in-Schools supporter moved, in order to, stop a needless discussion, that they pass on to tho next business.
