II OF THE HERALD:-

TO TUE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
There has been considerable discussion In relation
to the expediency OF removing the Bible from our
public schools. think the following plan must
commend itself to all parties:-I would propose that
a suitable committee be appointed to make appro
pirate extracts nom the Bible Of such parts, how
ever as are worded precisely alike in both the Pro-
testant and Catholic versions. These extracts
could be bound and simply worded On the title
page EXTRACTS fromthc Holy Bible, appoint ed to
6e read in the Grammar schools OF New York; BY
adopting such course, neither Pr0testanta nor
Catholics would have just reason TO ma fault The
passages from the New Testament should embrace
only such parJs IS could give no offence to the re.
ligious preJudices OF the Jewish patrons OF the
Iglon will not triumph In this matter, but that the
inspired words OF Holy Writ will continue through
out oil ages to be heard In our free schools.
