At a public meeting of those in favor of Bible-reading in schools, resolutions to the following effect wore adopted : (1) That the Education Act should be amended, and liberty granted to committees to enjoin Bible-reading and elementary instruction of an uusectarian kind under a time-table and conscience clause. (2) That no system of education, even from a literary point of view, can be deemed satisfactory which takes no account of the Bible, which beyond other books has moulded the life, thought, language, and literature of the country. (3) That as moral training is the highest aim of all education and religious instructions based on die Bible is essential to the practical efficiency of moral training, the meeting pledges itself to use all legitimate means to secure Bible-reading and instruction.
