Curious how this Church Bill brings to the front men who, if heard at all, certainly do not speak in chorus on any other question. After The Man from Shropshire comes TOMLINSON, who, early in proceedings, displays irresistible tendency to discuss points of order with SPEAKER. New SPEAKER has, however, already got hand in, and, before TOMLINSON, who remembers being on his feet addressing Chair, quite knows where he is, he finds himself sitting down again, CRANBORNE also on warpath, his very hair bristling with indignation at this fresh attack on the Church. Glib GRIFFITH-BOSCAWEN has a field-night; makes long speech on moving Instruction standing in his own name. His obvious, unaffected enjoyment of his own oratory should be infectious; but isn't. [Illustration: The Cares of Office. Mr. Cawmel-Bannerman crosses the Lobby.] Colonel LOCKWOOD, that pillar of the Church, was the first called on in Committee to move amendment. Colonel not in his place. Report has it the devout man is in library reading THOMAS À KEMPIS, or DRELINCOURT on Death. Here is opportunity for GLIB-GRIFFITH to make another speech. Dashes in; starting off with promise of good half-hour; desire for LOCKWOOD'S appearance irresistible. As ADDISON says, with hereditary disposition to drop into poetry, and the belief that he is quoting TENNYSON, Better fifty words from LOCKWOOD Than a thousand from BOSCAWEN. Scouts sent out in all directions. The Colonel discovered in sort of oratory he has contrived in far recess of library. Brought back to House; found BOSCAWEN bowling along. "This is my show," said the Colonel as he passed BOSCAWEN on his way to his seat. More fierceness in his eye than befit the man or the occasion. BOSCAWEN stared over his head, and went on with his speech. Opportunity too precious to be lost. If LOCKWOOD meant to move his amendment he should have been there when called upon. He wasn't: BOSCAWEN found it, so to speak, by roadside. Now it was his; would make the most of it; pegged along whilst the Colonel muttered remarks as he glared upon him. Some who sat by said it was a prayer. Others, catching a word here and there, said it was a quotation from THOMAS À KEMPIS. Whatever it might have been, Colonel seemed much moved. Hardly pacified when, at end of twenty minutes, GLIB-GRIFFITH sat down, and LOCKWOOD, finding himself in peculiar position of seconding his own amendment, delivered the speech he had prepared for moving it. _Business done._--Got into Committee on Welsh Disestablishment Bill.
