MATHEW ARNOLD ON THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
There is a substratum of history and literature in tho Bible which belongs to science and schools. There is an application of the Bihle and an edification by tho Bible which belongs to religion and Churches. Some people, say tho Bible altogether belongs to tho Church, not to tho school. This is an error. Tho Bible's application and edification belong to tho Church—its literary and historical substance to tho school. Other people say that tho Bible dues indeed belong to school as well as Church, but that its application and edification arc not separable from its literature and history. This is an error ; They are separable, and though its application - and edification are what matter to a man far most (we say so in all sincerity), are what ho mainly lives by. Yet it so happens that it is just in this application and edification that religions differences arise.— IVface to “ Bible reading for schools” edited by Mathew Arnold,
