At the National Reform Convention,
held in Farwell Hall, Chicago, April 10 and
II, over 100 delegates, principally from
Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa,
were present. The Rev. DR.. Jonathan
Edwards was elected President The first
and third resolutions adopted were as fol
lows ~ "That it is-6f the utmost i'm
portance, in the present stage of our
National history, to emphasize the fact that
this country was settled by Christians, who
came hither with a free and open Bible,
and founded free institutions of govern
ment on the basis of the principles of the
Christian religion" 81 "'rhat we perceive
with grave apprehensions the determined
and often successful attempts which are
made to eXpel the Bible from our public
schools, to abolish the oath, prayer in our
National and State legislatures, days of
fasting and Thanksgiving, and other Chris
tian institutions of our State and nation,
and so to divorce the American Govern
ment from all connection with Christian
ity.''

a controversy has arisen in Davenport,
Iowa, in relation to the teaching of religion
in the public schools. The Board of Trus-
tees have prohibited the singing Of revival
hymns, and attention having been called
TO the subject it was ascertained that they
had prohibited the reading Of the Bible to
the scholars. The opponents of the Board
claim that by the law of Iowa and the deci,
sion of the State Superintendent Of Public
Education the reading of the Bible cannot
be prohibited.
