BIBLE-IN-SCHOOLS
THE RIGHT OF ENTRY.
(B1 TELBGRAPH.—BPECIAL TO THE POST.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.; The Bible-in-schools question, which was under discussion at Friday's sitting of the Anglican General Synod, was referred to by Canon Wilford, mi Chriotchurch, who preached at St. Matthew's Church on Sunday evening. The Church, said Canon Wilford, should not approach Parliament with' any request ■that left out the right, of entry. He, however,' did not consider that at the present time they should approach Parliament at all. It was now several years since it made its last request, and he asked, what have Lvve done for our children since that time? We have sat down under it and given the He (to our cause. When the Church was refused the right of entry, _it should have started to build cclioolg of its own. In terfcain parts of New Zealand they had built jnct enough schools to tell them that the task was possible of accomplishment; but for the most part they had'adopted ■a policy of la^y acquiescence. Because of this he was sure that it was useless to again approach Parliament. ."There is only ons remedy," he caid. " we must build our own schools, mid go on'building them until Parliament offrvc us tho right of. entry into , the schools o/ the land.."-
