STATE BIBLE TEACHING

TO THEBDITOB. Sir,— Being a Christian, an elder, and a Bible Class leader, nnd believing the' Bible to be the Word of God, I should like to see everyone capable ot doing so studying or being taught from its pages. But who shall bo, its teachers? Civil Servants because they are Civil Servants, or Christian men because they are Chriftiati men ? The Galilee commission is unrevoked, and the disciple of Christ who seeks to shift his responsibility on to tho State employees is unworthy of his Teacher.— l am, etc., CHAS. S. FALCONER. 22hd May, 1913. The Wellington passengers by the steamer Tainui, damaged in i collision, as reported on Our cable page, included Mr. Millan, London manager of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company ; Mr. W. J. Gaudin, senior partner n; the firm of Gaudin and Son, Ghuznee-sti:eet, and Mrs." and Miss Gaudin; Mr. Barry Goring; arid the Rev. E. K. Mules and Mrs. Mules. Captain Moffatt, of the Tainui, is a very old officer of the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company. Hs arrived in Dunedin with his parents when ha was a child, and, after receiving Ms 1 education there, he entered the employ of Henderson and Co., who were then the owners of some very fine clippers. He afterwards joined the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Line. After the president's address had been given at the Farmers' Union Conference at Masterton to-day (telegraphs our special reporter) Mr. H. Morrison (Masterton) expressed the thanks of the union to Mr. Wilson for his remarks. The success of such an institution as the Farmers' Union, he said, depended to a great extent on the man at its head, and in Mr. Wilson they had an ideal man. Mr. Morrison welcomed the delegates to Maaterton* The last time they were there the union was fighting for i;reat principles, some of which-— the i refold for example— were now the law of the land. Other speakers supported Mr. Morrison, and Sir. Wilson briefly returned thanks. | Mr. F.
