BOY SCOUTS.
A PRESBYTERIAN DISCUSSION. United Pre&s As-ocistion —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, May 20. Thc Presbyterian Assembly discussed the effect of the Boy Scouts movement on Sunday school attendance, to which several spoakers considered it formed a danger. Professor Rentoul, while expressing himself as heartily in sympathy with the Scouts movement, said they must resist tbe withdrawing of children from religious influence. He was glad tho Labour Party had come into power, as it was a distinctly peace party, and was determined to keep The defence force purely for defence purposes, and not to allow it to become portion of a great military system ruled from London. Militarism in history, the speaker continued, had always been identified with strongly immoral forces. In view of tho danger to the great matter of purity, they must open their eyes to thoir responsibilities in connection with this new movement of militarism.
