“I am in favor of Bible reading in schools,” said Mr. Frank A’deane, a Reform candidate; for, Auckland. “We are' rapidly approaching a state of paganism in some directions. Many children Inever see the Bible in their homes, and they are growing up without enough knowledge even to appreciate the significance of the. Bible when taking an oath. In secondary schools all over the Empire some religions exercise is practised eacli day, and I have yet to meet a secondary schoolboy who docs not approach the exercise in a spirit of reverence. The Bible' is the foundation of British lawand I will support its reading in the schools.”
