SENTIMENT is CHANGING.

"A Judge in the court of a western
state has ruled to exclude the Bible
from the public schools of that state.
The decision was based upon the
wording of the state constitution,
says the New York Christian Advo,
cate. There is no issue raised as to
the validity OF the decision, or as TO
the right of a people to adopt any con-
stitution they please. But the ques-
tion of the Bible in the public schools
is not going TO be settled this way.
The temper of the people has under,
gone a radical change within the last
ten years; and the practical necessity
Of the Bible as far and away the best
manual Of morals. is now being ad-
mitted by. educators, who ten years
ago, would have excluded the, Bible as
sayoring of ~sectarian" instruction.

they surely cannot get more than a
living profit. They are compelled to
