Several leading articles have appeared in the Press an a result of the decision of the Bath City Council to omit from the school hymn book a verse of the hymn, "All tliinps bright and beautiful." The verse to which objection has been taken is:— "The rich man in hie castle. The poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, And order'd their estate." Tt is also proposed to omit from another hymn the Verse:— "(Jod has given each his station. Some have riches and high place: Some have lowly homos and labour, All may have His precious grace." "The Manchester Guardian" says:— '"Many reverent people dislike the idea of a circumstantial Divine authorisation of tlie miseries of Manchester unemployed and of the riches and high place of the profiteers, who pastured themselves upon their countrymen. They also decline to believe that Hod specially ■ordered the estate of various classes in ! Soviet Russia." ' •
