BIBLE READING
BEING PROMOTED.
ALL sECTs COOPERATE IN EN-
coURAGINo THE PERUsAL or
THE BOOK OF GOD. 81

Chicago, June 24.-"Co-operation BY
Protestant, Catholic and Jew in the
matter OF bible reading in the public
schools is an indication of the grow
ing spirit of brotherly regard and
toleration," said Marion Lawrence.
secretary Of the International Sunday
School association, at today's session
of the fourteenth triennial convention.
This is great step forward In the
study and recognition of the bible En-
couragement of the reading In public
of those portions Of the bible agreed
upon by all is the aim OF such co-opera-
ton. Perhaps one Of the most
significant advances that has been
made in Sunday school work Is that Of
recognizing the church and the Sunday
school In the regular work Of the day
school, said Mr. Lawrence. Tho diff
ferent religious bodies have apparently,
been taking 1t for granted that there
is no common ground Of cooperation
in the matter of bible study but such
is not the fact and we have found that
our fears that reconciliation and co..
operation in this work would be Inn
possible were groundless. Surely the.
giving of credits In public schools for
bible study done in the church Is moth
ing to most of us and opens up posi-
bilities we had never dreamed off,

Progressive Leaders Still

reach quarantine until tonight. Col.

quarantine and go direct to Oyster
Bay on board yacht. Theodore
Douglas Robinson, progressive state
chairman and George W. Perkins We're
the only party leaders who expect to
meet the colonel on the yacht and go
with him to Oyster Bay. Mrs. Roose-
welt also planned to meet the traveller
on the yacht.
Despite Col. Roosevelt's declaration
before he left England that he would
not be candidate for governor of New
York, State Chairman Robinson de-
clared today that he had not given up
hope and that he expected to be able
to persuade his uncle to make the race

New York, June 24.-The second
home coming today Of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt within two months caused
almost as much of stir among pro
gressive party leaders and friends Of
the former president as did his first on
May 19 from South America. Today
as last month, Col. Roosevelt's opin-
ions of political questions drew pro-
gressive leaders to this city and for
some time after his arrival home,
Oyster Bay will be the scene Of many
conferences.
From the Imperator wireless mes
sages stated that Col. Roosevelt had
spent much OF his time since the big
liner sailed in working on the speech
he will deliver on June 30 at Pitts
burgh. He had entertained a party OF
friends at tea daily, the message ad-
ded, and had confined his period Of
exercise to the early mornings. While
on the trip Col Roosevelt has been un-
der the care Of DR.. Bossius, the ships
physician and appears to have recov-
cred entirely from the attacks of fever
which gave his friends much concern
on his arrival here from South
America.
