THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
(Per United Press Association.)
CHRISTCHUROH, October 11. When laying the foundation stone of the new Anglican Sunday school at Sydenham this afternoon Sir John Hall said that Sunday schools were specially desirable and necessary m New Zealand. Although an excellent system of secular teaching was provided, it was, to his mind, a. lamentable fact that the Word of God and the very name of God were not heard in the public schools. The children passed through many years of teaching without having any of tho true or practical lessons of Christianity brought before them. Dean Harper, who spoke later on, said that a movement was on foot to endeavour to have simple Biblereading in public schools and the reciting of the Lord's Prayer at the commencement of tho day's work.
