The Toothpick Remedy
Our clerical friends of the Bible-in-schools League are now, like the other politicians, in recess. Are they evolving new schemes for the new year ? Or will they still continue to mock the spiritual starvation of so many little ones among their various flocks with 'an emasculated caricature ' of a Protestant version of the. Bible, a vague, spineless, and unpractical Unitarianism, and desultory Scripture readings that are to be used merely as pegs on which to hang up lessons in grammar and 1 geography ? Up to this hour, they have been playing the part of Douglas Jerrold's ' wise philanthropists,' who, when Ifamine came upon >the land, fancied they had done their whole duty by voting the hungry people a supply of toothpicks.
