BIBLES AND BAYONETS.
Not content with introducing the teaching of the use of rifles, bayonets, carl ridges, elc, into the schools of NV.w Zealand, there is a great effort being made to have Bible-teaching introduced as well. The bloodthirsty chapters of the Old T-'.Tamcnt, with its bru'.al stories of rape, murder and robbery, will be excellent things to train youths and boys upon, to the end that they may "hew their enemies to pieces before, the Lord. " But even a canon or a bishop cannot make guns and bayonets fit in with the teachings of tlie lowly Nazarene. "He that taketh to the sword will perish by the sword" is still true. But Bibles and bayonets won't fit.
