BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
A CATHOLIC DK.UOWSTRATIOX". By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night._ A Catholic demonstration was, held in the Town Hall this evening, under the auspices of the New Zealand Catholic Federation, to protest against the Referendum Bill on the Biblc-in-schools question. Archbishop O'Shca, Bishop ■ deary and others addressed a larg* gathering, and the following resolutions were adopted:—"That this mass meeting of Catholics, made up of representatives and delegates from all parts of the Dominion, respectfully asks Parliament to reject the Religious Instruction in Schools Referendum Bill now before the House, because if carried it will affirm the principle that the vote of a majority may be used to coerce the consciences of a minority, and because it will lead to the taxation of all the people for the teaching of religion acceptable to only some of the people; that wc pledge ourselves as Catholics to still further organise and strengthen the Catholic Federation that we may be able, to carry on more, effectively the fight against this unjust agitation until it is defeated."
