Scripture Text-Boo
As the Bible is not read in all your
Btate schools and having been recently
In three states of America, which at
present exclude Bible reading from their
state schools, I found a feeling in favour
of the Introduction of a Scripture textbook
(similar to the Scripture lesson
books used In Ontario, Canada, and in
New South Wales, Australia), into their
respective state schools.
The first step is to bring all churches
into line on this great question, and
I therefore respectfully suggest that all
Protestant denominations, at their annual
Church Conferences, Assemblies or
Unions, should set up Bibles In School
Committees to consider which form of
Scripture text-book and systems are applicable
to the needs of their state
schools; and also should be ready to
unite with other churches to demand
from school boards or the House of

Representatives a referendum on this
important question.
No movement will succeed unless the
Protestant Churches are agreed upon
one system.
As New Zealand is only twenty days'
steam from America, II would suggest
that the official heads of churches invite
the Rev. Canon Garland, the organizer
of the New Zealand Bible
Schools Party, whose headquarters are
in Wellington, New Zealand, to visit
your state to explain the Australian
system of Bible instruction in schoolB
and methods of organizing.
vauuu uanana is ine greatest living
authority on the question here. He got
two Australian states to adopt Scripture
Instruction in their state schools.
The "Church Chronicle," the official
organ of the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane,
Australia, writes:
"The news that Canon Garland had
been offered the leadership of'the religious
instruction in state schools campaign
in New Zealand scarcely came as
a surprise to those who are familiar
with the work he has already done in
connection with this subject. No man
in Australia can claim a greater knowledero
nf tha nnaaHnn ai- ma'at- aKIIi+v
to handle It than Canon Garland, and
wherever the campaign la undertaken
his advice would naturally be the first
to be sought. He has already taken the
lead In the successful efforts of West
Australia and Queensland to secure religious
freedom In the schools, and his
acceptance of the New Zealand invitation
is thus full of promise for the success
of the campaign in that country."
T shall be pleased, sir, to aid any
movement towards the atainment of the
above object in your state, if advised.
The postage to New Zealand is 5 cents.
Thanking you in anticipation, I am,
Tours faithfully, 8. Pearson.

Ballot Paper.
Are you In favor of introducing the
following system into state schools?
namely:
The state schoolmaster, In school
hours, teaches select Bible lessons from
a reading book provided for the purpose,
but is not allowed tn ?<? -
tarlan teaching.
Any minister of religion is entitled In
school hours to give the children of his
own denomination an hour's religious
instruction, on such day or days as the
school committee can arrange for.
Any parent Is entitled to withdraw
his child from all religious teaching if
he chooses to do so.
Yes. No.
A stammering word for the Master,
Blundering, timid and slow,
But the best he could do, for Ills purpose
was true,
But his heart was a-thumplng so.
Yet the angels seized it and bore It
On pinions happy and strong,
And made it a sword In the war of
the Lord.

THIRTEEN YEARS.
Unlucky Nnmber for Dakota Woman.
The question whether the number
"13" Is really more unlucky than any
other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. Dak. woman, after thirteen
yearB of misery from, drinking coffee,
found a way to break the "unlucky
spell." Tea is just as injurious as coffee
because It contains caffeine, the drug in
coffee. She writes:
"For thirteen years I have been a
nervous wreck from drinking coffee. My
liver, stomach, heart?in fact, my whole
system being actually poisoned by it.
"Last year I was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally it dawned on
me that coffee caused the trouble. Then
I began using Postum instead of coffee,
but with little faith, as my mind was In
such a condition that I hardly knew
what to do next.
"Extreme nervousness and failing eyesight
caused me to lose all courage. In
about two weeks after I quit coffee and
began to use Postum, I was able to read
and my head felt clear. T am imnrnvincr
all the time and I will be a strong, well
woman yet.
'*1 have fooled more than one person
with a delicious cup of Postum. Mrs. S.
wanted to know where I bought my fine
coffee. I told her my grocer had it and
when she found out It was Postum she
has used It ever since, and her nerves
are building up fine.
"My brain Is strong, my nerves steady,
my appetite good, and best of all, I enjoy
such sound, pleasant sleep." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich. Get a little book In pkg., "The
Road to Wellvllle." "There's a reason."
