the younger people of both sexes, and
one for the children. The ends sought
by this plan, in part are; First, the
training of the young to some sense OF,
personal responsibility for the support
of the church. Second, a. closer identi-
fication of the children and young peo-
pie with the pastor. 1t is hoped thus
that his influence over them for good
may be strengthened, and that they
may grow to feel more fully that this
is 'iourp pastor and "our' Church.

The case in which suit was brought
by Catholic taxpayers to prevent the
reading of King James version of the
Bible in the public schools was decided
to-day. Judge Bennett held that such
reading was not sectarian instruction,
children of petitioners not being
obliged to listen if they did not desire,
and the Bible having been decided
upon by the authorities as one of the
text books for the Wisconsin schools.
There was nothing, however, to pre-
vent children from reading the version
of the Bible accepted by the Catholic
Church, if they preferred.
