THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
AJETFER FROM THURLOW WEED.

a
| THE BEAUTIES OF THE BIBLE" READ IN OLD TIME
| CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE BIBLE GAINED IN
THIS WAY.
| 70 the Editor OF The tribune.
SIR: While the question Of excluding the Bible
from our public schools is attracting so much at
tention in many of our States, cannot withhold
an expression of surprise that one OF the most
valuable class books ever published has been per-
mitted to drop out of the schools. Indeed TINS
precious volume is not only wholly unknown TO the
present generation, but has, fear faded out OF the
memory of most OF our oldest inhabitants" More
than half century ago the Beauties of the Bible"
like the English Reader" and American
Preceptorn was found in all we'll regulated families,
and was held to be as indispensable in all school
reading classes as Webster's spelling-book. The
book is just what its tile indicates and
expresses Beauties of the Bible" The Sc
lectons from the Old and the New Test9mcnt were
made by an eminent divine with discrimination and
taste and were admirably adapted to the OBJECTS
contemplated Those objects, as arpean on It's ute
page were "desigucd for the use of Christians III
general and particularly for the use of schools and
for the improvement Of youth" The selections were
propcrly arranged for convenient use by classes in
schools, each pupil reading a paragraph. In Ills
way the lessons impressed themselves upon the mem
ory and the hearts OF children The Bible presented
in this form became very attractive. Alter b
lapse of more than 20 years l retain vivid recol-
lection of the History of the Creation the Meet
ing of Jacob and Esau," the "Story of Joseph"
young Shepherd and Giant" the Friendship of
David and Jonathan" "Seect Proverbs Of SOLO
mon," the Birth and Childhood of our Savior"
"Chusts Sermon on the Mountain" the "frodigal
SON." the Good Samaritan" the " Rich Man and
the Beggar." "Panrs Speech before Agripps,"
"Paurs Voyage aud Shipwreck," etc, as they were
read in our then primitive schools
The beauties OF the Bible" OF which the Rev,
Ezra Samson of Hudson is the author was first pub
hshcd in 1900, and contains 2S2 pages. II this
book should be restored to our schools, lie best
parts of Scripture would constitute an important
branch Of common school education. Our children,
while learning to read woud become imbued With
The spirit If Christianity. The present seems
fitting occasion to call the attention Of educational
boards and the clergy to this book. II, simuta-
neously with the great uprising Of tho people under
the eloquent gospel appeals Of Mr.. Moody and The
tranquilizng ha1nouios OF Mr. Sdn!tey, tho " Bean
ties of the Bible" should be introduced rs a class
book in our common schools, thousands upon thou
sands Of grateful children viii rise mp to Shank those
who conferred thi, blessing upon them. 7. ".

there were in al the United States in 1862 80, 5G5
Chinese; in 1870, GO,254; iucrease in ten years,
24GS9. OF these there were ia California IN 1860
q3J, and in 1870, $3.50; increase in ten years,
1873. Since 1870 the annual arriy'!s have aver
aged abo 5000, aud tic annual departures about
5000, leaving net gain Of about 5000 per annun,
or in six years ODO The Consds shows an average

Now in 1870 there were 1924 Chinese in the
United States outside Of California, so that il ]
grant, for arguments sake, that all the increase
since 1870 has accrued 20 California alone, II will
be seen that the entire Chinese population of Cali
forna cannot exceed 5000, less tlln half Of the
same population as resolved" on at that meeting.
It is no more true that the Chinese immigrants are
"bondlnep," rs is also resolved" Nor that The
Bnrlingaiuc treaty has anything 10 DO with tine
question. Tue il might have; but my point Is that
it doe,nL The Chinese came before the treaty, Just
II, thcy have done after it. Indeed the increase WIS
never 80 large rs in 1851, wien 1900 came AMI
none went away. The fact is that all these China
