PROFESSOR WHO SAYS OUR CAL- ERA IS ER-
A GERMAN CULATION OF THE CHRISTIAN RONEOUS,
There have been for centuries doubts as to the correciness of the accepted caleula- tion of the Christian cra. Some learned historians cannot agree whether Christ was born in the year 747, 749, or 764 connting from the foundation of Rome. Receitly Prof. Sattler, of Munich, has published an essay in which he tries to reconcile the testimony of the Evangelists with the other historical data on this point. He has ex- amined four copper coins, newly discover-
Antipas, one of the sons of Herod the Great, and he comes to the conclusion that Christ was born not 754. but 749 years after the foundation of Rome. and there- fore that the present year is 1888 instead of

Asthe Affirmation Bill is soon to come on, and as | observe that there is great and extraordinary ignorance in regard to its object, it may be as well that I should explain what this object really is. As the law at present stands, any atheist may take the oath of allegiance, and in order to sit in Parliament, he must take it. He can only be hindered from so doing if he claims to aflirm his allegiance, and if at the same time he explains that he has taken this course because he does not believe that an additional force is given to the recital por- tion of the declaration of allegiance by the words following it, viz ; *‘So help me God.” When Mr. Bradlangh came to the table of the House of Commons to swear his allegi- ance, the Speaker allowed Sir Stafford Northcote to interfere, and to consult the House as to whether this should be per- mitted, because Mr. Bradlaugh had already claimed to aflirm, and stated his ground for so doining. Subsequently, when an- other elected member came to swear, Sir Wilfred Lawson sought to interfere, when the Speaker ruled that no interference was permissible, becanse this other member had not previously asked to be allowed to affirm.
The result of these rulings is that any atheist may sit in the present House of Commons by taking the oath of allegiance, except Mr. Bradlaugh, and that Mr. Brad-
llangh may take the oath and his seat if he
be elected to any Parliament except the present one.
The object of the Bill is not, therefore, to enable atheists to sit in Parliament, for this they can do already, but to enable them to sit without going throngh a form which to them may be unmeaning, but which, to all who are not atheists, is a pro- fanation, when taken by an atheist, of what is regarded as sacred. This object is obscnred by the Conservatives for party purposes. This, however, does not alter facts.
’
ae __—em «+ ~—_ a
The New York 7 vribune’s London letter says the defeat of the ministry on the affimation bill will not cause their resigna- ticn, but cool observers believe that their position has been seriously shaken and that the Bradlaugh campaigs throughout the country, conducted for months past has had the rcsult of rousing into malevolent activity all the latent bigotry and intolerance. There has been no corresponding effort on the other side, hence, as Gladstone admitted iin his great speech, the effect of the con- troversy has been injurious to the Liberal party. This effect is sure to be enhanced | by Thursday's vote ; Wavorers are already lquittting the Government which, with a (nominal majority of eighty, allowed itself | to be defeated on a measure for which 'Mr. Gladstone made one of the greatest speeches of his hfe. While the question ‘remains open it will be a _ constant eource of animosities and irritations and of fresh defections from the Liberal ranks. | Ministers says that they perfer defeat to a |narrow majority with the prospect of further contests in committee and the certainty of ‘the ultimate loss of the measure in the ‘House of Lords. Several of the Irish Liberals voted against the Ministry. Mor- Jey, who recommended Bradlaugh to the Northampton electors, stayed away. The Tory majority was actually due to a series ‘of small accidents. For example, Sir George Campbeil’s illness ; one Liberal, who dined too well, went into the wrong lobby and a third who was enchained by a ‘Tory beauty until the division was ‘over. The Tories, instinctively aware that a heavy blow had been dealt the Government, in- dulged it delirious demonstrations of de-
hight.
