THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS
MOVE FORWARD IN CHRISTCHURCH.
By Teli-jraph.—Pre* Association.
Christehureh, Last Night. The East Christehureh School Committee recently took a vote of parents on the question of whether or not they wished their children to attend Bible lessons, and sent out I'2oo voting papers, 1)23 being returned in favor of the proposal. To-night a conference was held between the school committee and the Ministers' Association as, to the belt method to be adopted. Bishop Julius spoke in support of the" proposal, and said his own clergy would be ready to give what help was asked of them.
Other ministers thought that the time proposed—from 3.30 to 4 p.m. on Fridays—was not the most suitable, as the children were looking forward to the holiday after the week's work.
Several teachers concurred in this view, and the meeting adjourned to allow the Ministers' Association to confer and decide on a suitable time for the lesson.
