DAY AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS
EEMAEKS BY SiR JOHN HALL, [PKESS association], Chbistchuech, Saturday.
■When laying the foundation stone of the new Anglican Sunday school at Sydenham this afternoon, Sir John Hall said that Sunday schools were specially desirable and necessary in New Zealand. Although an excellent system of aoor-lrr- tro-oMn Q it WflS to his mind a lamentable fact that the word of God and the very name of God were not heard in the public schools. Children passed through many years of teaching without having any of the true and practical lessons of Christianity taught them. Dean Harper, who spots later on, said that a movement was on foot to endeavor to have simple Bible reading ia public schools, and the reciting of the Lord’s Prayer at the commencement of the day’s work.
