THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

4 congress Of more than usual inter-
est convened last Tuesday in Chicago.
It's object is the discussion Of religious
education, or 80 take the next step
forward in religious education" as II
vas expressed By the speakers. II Is
estimated that 1900 people attended the
opening session in the Auditorium, and
u at about 100 Of these were dstln-
gulshCd leaders In secular or religious
education Their desire Is TO form a
national organization for the improve
mont Of religious and moral educn
ton through the Sunday school and
other agencies.
Among those booked for addresses
we're the following President Angel
Of the university OF Michigan; Dr.
Francis +. Clark, president OF tie
Christian endeavor societies; W. D..
Harvey, an examiner OF the New York
city board of educaiion President
Bashford. Of Wesleyan university at
Delaware, o.. and Dr. Hills, OF Ply
mouth church, Brooklyn; Prof. George
A. Coe, Of the Northwestern university
OF Evanston. and Prof. f. y, Starbuck,
Of Leland Stanford university Presl-
dent King, Of oberin college, and Prof
Lewey, director cf the school Of educa-
ton at the university of Chicago; Presl-
dent Rhees, Of the university Of Roches
ter, and Prof. Wlllett of the university
CT Chicago. also President Butler, OF
Columbia university; DR.. Gunsaulus
and others.
A quite remarkable feature Of the adj
dresses was the earnest expressions In
favor Of Bible reading in the schools
Or. j. w. Bashford, president OF the
ohio Wesleyan university said that the
ordinance Of 1881 for the Northwest
territory makes provision that the Bible
can be read in the public schools AS a
first step he urged all teachers, preach
ers end the press to rouse the people IN
the home to a sense Of responsibility
az second, improvement of the sun

teaching Of our state and common
schools can do much for moral and re-
llglous education. Eventually we shah
reach science of religion which VIII

church, but of science"
The tendency toward the return OF the

signs Of the time. It Is quite generally
recognized that morality cannot he

than religion. II is understood, in 9TH

There was a time when all the ills Of
medieval times were attributed to the
baleful influence Of ecclesiastical super
stition and opposition to progress But
such a staunch free thinker as Mr.
John Morley today writes that the
faults Of the church were simply those
of the times and that superstition is a
phenomenon TO be explained, not con-
demned. To Voltaire Dante was a
monstroslty and his great poem little
more than the rhythmical rawlings Of
man gone mad over scholastic theol-
ogy Dante's theory of rewards and
punishments was beyond the great
French critics comprehension. Voltaire
could conceive OF Mohammed only as a
eharlatan because, as some one has re-
marked. II Frenchman of the Eigh-
teenth century had done what Moham-

SALT FoR OLD AGE.
