BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

PETONE METHODIST FEELING,'; 'At tho quarterly business meeting of tho Potone Methodist Circuit, held last 'evening, tho following resolution . was Carried unanimously:—"ln accordance Vit'll tho resolutions of Conference of approval of- the Bible-in-Stato-Schools league, and of co-operation with other religious bodies to secure tho benefits of Bible teaching in the State schools for the children-of this- Dominion, this quarterly meeting representing the members and adherents of Petofio and Wainni Churches constituting the Petone Circuit of the Methodist Church of New Zealand, again pledges its hearty support to tho movement, and once more requests that a referendum of tho wholo people of the Dominion be taken upon tho question. • This meeting expresses the conviction that inasmuch as the referendum has been repeatedly requested by tho respective governing courts of four denominations representing 75 per -cent, of the population, which request .has been reiterated by the constituencies of thoso denominations, and further endorsed by a request in writing signed by upwards of 133,000 individual ( electors tho Government is more than cmply justified in facilitating the wishes of such a large proportion of tho neople. Jlorpovor ns tho request is not asking tho Government to decide on the merits of tho Lnaguo's proposals, but to allow the people of tho Dominion to como to jv decision themselves on tho matter, this mooting would regret any action on tho part of tho Government which by 'leaving this question standing over, would thereby constitute it a disturbing factor at the noxt General Election."
