To ihe Editor of the Nelson Evening- Mail* ' Sin,—Alow me to tell you how the i-ible was read when 1 weiit- to. school, now n°?? seventy yeirs gone by. We boys stood in ■; tow, -each one witb his Bible in his hsnd, each ley reading verse after verse along the row, the master *t front with bis Bible in hand, the only comment made was by the applying of a dr j;ded large cane when the leading was not conect. Tbis was the practice once a week, and I can assure you 'many of the Divine tvutbs in that Book never were forgotten from that time. I am, &c, Old Biogs.
