AGAINST BIBLE READING.
A Reverend Who Wants the Line Judi
ciously Drawn.

NORWICH, Conn. April 2S.--The Rev.
e. w. Jenkins, of this city, pastor of the
Universalist church, has caused breeze
in town by publishing an open letter to
the Norwich board of education, de-
manding that the teachers in the public
schools refrain from reading aloud any
passages from the Old Testament at the
opening exercises in the schools.
"For some months" says the clergy
man, "a certain teacher in one of our
city schools has been reading repeatedly
from the Old Testament accounts Of
murders U Sam. W, human sacrifices
Oev. x), torturings Judges ivy, fire fall
ing from heaven Il Kings XVIII, human
beings stoned and tortured to death q
Kings XXI, threatening to cut the Chal-
deans to pieces dan. ii), the pieces
burned dan. iii, ETC., to her scholars, as
an opening exercise. By repeated com
munications have appealed to the super
intendent and to the board to limit the
scriptures to the New Testament or to in
troduce manual of scriptural selections
suitable to be read to children. ] can
get no reply or satisfaction, having done
my best since Nov. 19, 1885,"
In conclusion Mr.. Jenkins says: "Now
/ claim that there is enough that is beau
tiful, helpful and comforting in the
Bible without reading such selections as
have been read by this teacher the last
six months to her scholars And l
claim, morever, that your honorable
body ought to honestly face this matter
and settle it, and settle it right.
One local paper champions Mr.. Jen-
kins' cause. and insists that the custom
of reading the Old or the New Testa-
ment in the public schools ought to be
abolished altogether. AS rule, local
Protestant clergymen and their fiocks
are opposed to Mr.. Jenkins project,
about which there is a great deal of
heated discussion in all parts of the
state.
Not a few eminent men in the state
have written the clergyman approving
his stand, but they are dreadfully eau
tious lest their identity may be disclosed
1t is likely that some action will be
taken by the board of education pro-
scribing the reading Of the most obnox-
ious biblical passage.

have been done years ago, had anyone
else but Randall had claim on the seat.
Dallas Sanders, State Senator McAleer
and James Beck, all Democrats of more
than local prominence, are the candi-
