it being held that the growing power of Pruesia called for an augmented military organization under one central authority in the place of the several small semi-independent bodies maintained by the Cantons.But allied with this military question, was that of national education, the tendency of the popular feeling being in favor of the secular and compulsory system, Several other important changea \u2018were included in the, new Constitution, with a view to complete separation of Church and State.The Revised Constitution was adopted by m vote of 321,870 to 177,400, nearly iwo to one, fifteen Cantons voting for and seven againat.The result in Switzerland is what will always be the result where a body or party arrogating to itself higher powera than the State ventures into open conflict.Buch assumption of power in apt to do religion (we are speaking irrespective of creeds) great ibjury, even to breeding a generation of infivels.The Churches snd the Clerics have their places, and they can only fulfil! their mission hy faithfully keeping within bounds.Directly the eccleniastical body shows a disposition to overstep its acknowledged jurisdiction, there in sown the seeds of dissatisfaction in the popular mind, which sooner or later will grow into downrigbt antagonisi Indifference to religion and contempt or hatred for those who assume\" the garb of its ministers, are not desirable pliases of national life, but if they have to be confronted it may safely be saad that clerical mismanagement is largely, if not wholly, responsible.ER THE ONURCHES, ue.Minrk\u2019s.\" Revi Mr.McMorine preached yesterday morning in St.Mark\u2019 Church, basing hi dincourse upon the 5th and 6th vergea of the 13th chapter of the Gorpel of St.Matthew : \u201c\u201c Some fell npon stony plares, where they had not much earth;
