FIRST DAY'S DEBATE
NOTHING OUTSTANDING Australian Press Associntlon. LONDON, 14th June. Parliamentary sketch writers agree* that the first day's debate on the Prayer Book Bill ia the House of Commons dirt not reach the heights of the memorable debate <.f December. The House was well filled to-day, and the galleries were uncomfortably crowded. - Tho speeches woro marked by high soriousness and careful preparation. Many observers express tho opinion that so far there is no sign of tho second version of the revised Prayer Book being regarded in a more favourable light than the first. Both sides are holding their leading speakers in reservo for Thursday, when a division will probably be taken. It is generally agreed that the fate of the Prayer Book really rests on the hundred odd members who abstained from voting in December.
