Resolved, That we affirm the Importance
ofour public schools to the welfare of our
peope: that with intellectual cultivation
must 20 moral training, or the schools
may prove a curse rather than a blessing
but this moral training must be based on
religion, otherwise its sanction will not
be strong enough to grasp the con-
science of the people or it's utterances OBJ

that as the Bible is the source of the
highest moral teaching, we regard its ex-

ance tonational welfare and we charge the
members of our church to so arouse public
thought ON this subject from the pulpit,
the press and the ecclesiastical assemblages
that this book shall be restored to its true
place IN our system of education.
