BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

(To tiie Editor.)

Sir,—ln reply to "Vigilant,-"' I

would iiKe to state -tnat I nave read; and re-read the Bible lesson be •quoted in your issue of the 15th inst„. 1 canfind no answer to my questions / ■ of the previous issue. As to the ten ■■■' ;■ hortis representing the ten . white man's colonies, who on. earth; or v in " , ■heaven', told "Vigilant" that? Let him read the chapter again, and he _ will find, that thel .ten horns represent thjß "ten devils" who are workfi ing against the lamb. Verse 24 statee plainly that the lamb shall overcome them. To go back to the subject, I did not realise that I was publishing a riddle when writing'my letter of the 14th inst. Neither do i think that the editor thought so, or . . he would have placed, the correspon--1 'fence in the "alleged wit" column, I asked a few Straight questions. "Vigilant" ' evidently cannot give straight answers. Let me remind him that Christ always made things " plain, and Christ's disciples should fellow his example. I was not asking anyone to solve a riddle, and"if "Vigilant" is in Earnest on this import- - ant question, he should not pass over / questions which are very simple as unsolved , riddles. I may add, Mr Kl , Editor, that if "Vigilant" proposes to put sudh lessons into . our State schools as he put to me, then I don't think itouch of his choice. I would like to refer him to the Book of Revelations, chapter 21, and ask one more question. • Would it be possible , for the Bible-in-Schools League to have verse 27 of tha£~ chapter in , their objective, or as the first rule to be observed by the League ?—I am, . etc., 1 STILL WONDERING.
