BISHOP CLEARY AND THE BIBLE LEAGUE.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sib,—Bishop Cleary'a icasons for difliking ".%n Irish proselytising conecienco clause" (Daily Times of this morning) may bo loft unchallenged. They have no bearing on the affairs of tho Bible-in-Statc-Sehools League of New Zealand. Tho league's proposal :'s that onl.y with the consent of the parent 6hall any child bo required to use the Scripture reading book or to rcoeive religious instruction from a visiting minister. It will be for the Legislature, in amending the Education Act, ,to frame a conscience clause effective for this purpose, and there seems no ground for assuming that the cLogislatui'o may not be trusted.—l am, etc., A. R. Fitchett. All Saints' Parsonage, .July 23.
