PRAYER IN SCHOOLS
“All Christians will welcome the -decision of the Wellington Education Board,” says the Outlook, the organ of the Presbyterian Church, “that the schools under its jurisdiction are to begin their work each day by repeating the Lord’s Prayer. This is not only an indication of the way in which men in their hours of need turn to religion; it is also a significant indication of the. realisation, which has been growing slowly but surely over recent years, that the non-sectarian basis upon which our State educational system was built was. never meant to be considered as non-religious.”
