BIBLE-IN-SCHOOLS.
The Rev. Canon Garland, who lias been employed l)y tho Bible-in-Sehools League of Now Zealand, to conduct ; aft organising campaign, is emphasing the benefits which have accrued from the introduction of the system of Bible reading into the schools of New South Wales. Tint loaves only one course open to the opponents of the ■system, which is to ask plainly and plumply if the moral standard of New South Wales is an improvement upon that of Neiv Zealand. We have not in this country educated our young people up to the ideal of "pushes." We have not hotels running day and night. We have not bookmakmg and gambling rampant in every town and village. We have nof attained fi'iiything like the criminal record of New South Wales. We are, in fact, in every way a cleanerliving people than those of the neighbouring State. So that, if the moral test be applied, the argument is all against Canon Garland and the Bible-in-Schools country.
