Our School Committees
Our School Committees.
The clergy are now getting elected upon our school committees, and bringing the Bible back into our schools, whereas the leading clergymen in the United States are complaining that nothing but a tissue of lies is being taught in the Sunday schools and important churches there, and they are very properly abolishing Bible class work altogether. I would warn New Zealanders that the only object of the local clergy is to bring back the bad moral lessons above referred to. The youth of any country should never be entrusted to clerical control, unless it be to the one broad church of One People, One God.
