Th® 20th of January, 1265, was
great day not only for the English-
speaking people but the world; It was
the time appointed for the meeting of
the first parliament In England.
Mathew of Parts In his chronicles
•rat usee the word In reference to a
council of tlie barons In 1246, but It
was |n Ute year 1265, during a civil
war which very much resembled that
of the seventeenth century, being for
law against an arbitrary power as ex­
pressed by royalty, that the first par­
liaments, properly so-called, were as­
sembled. It was nt this time fliat
Sinton de Montfort held King Henry
In his power.
This parliament was summoned In
such a manner that there should be
two knights for ench county, and two
citizens for every borough; tlie first
clear acknowledgment of the commons
element In the state. The meeting was
held In that magnificent hall at West­
minster and the representatives of the
Commons sat in the same place with
their noble associates, probably at the
bottom of the hall, little disposed to
assert a controlling voice nor Joining
In any vote. Hut there they were
and. notwithstanding the fact that De
Montfort was shortly overpowered
and he and nearly all of his associates
slaughtered, the commons were never
again left out. It was an admitted
power entitled to be consulted In all
great national movements and to have
a directing voice In Qie matter of
taxation.
More Ministers Needed,
Tt Is from the families of the farm-
er« and from the parsonage Itself that
new preachers come, according to a
survey now being taken by the Ameri­
can education department of the Inter­
church World Movement. The farms
lead. The survey shows that out of
every thousand pupils who enter the
first grade of our American schools,
only 38 enter college and only 14 re­
main to complete the course.
It Is from these 14 that the churches
recruit th® great majority of their
ministers. It Is also disclosed by the
survey that It requires about 5.000 new
men every year merely to replace the
gaps In the rnnks of the ministry at
home.
