UNCONVINCING.
Some of the arguments put forward hy the advocates of Bible reading in schools are mere ingenious than convincing. For instance, speaking at Auckland recently, tho Rev H. Howard, of Adelaide, said: "A singular inconsistency on the part of the State ig the fact that it recognises the necessity for putting the Biblo into the cell of every prisoner in the gaols, but fails to consider it necessary to put it' in the public schools." Does the reverend gentleman regard the children at the schools as criminals and social outcasts? And can !>o point to any ' number of cases where the placing of the Bible in the cells of prisoners has resulted in moral regeneration? If hi<t argument is to carry -weight, ho must supply evidence in support of both of these contentions.
