Takes Up Times-Dispatch.
Editor Nirginian:
Sr.-In todays Times-Dspatch. editorial
page, the writes quotes Solomon saying:
Spare the rod and spoil the child" This is
not in the Bible Maybe he refers to Proverbs
II 3; "a, where the wise says: He that
spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that
loveth him. chasteneth him betmes' His
quotation emanates if I mistake not, from the
English poet and dramatist, William Makepea ce
Shakespeare. l have always suspected the
Times Dispatch very deficient in Bible lore
from its numerous unsound statements on va
rious subjects and probably they could be in
duced to study the Bible and become better
posted and more influential for the public good.
Yours sincerely,
J. w. EASLEY.
