OBJECT T0 BIBLE TEACHING A couple of weeks ago, under Editorial Notes, some instances were given of teachers objecting to teach the Bible in schools One objected because she did not believe the Genesis account of the Crcation: another because the miracles "took place a long time ago fnd we could not know if they were true " Arid so on. The ti'oiib'e with these good peo ie is that they mistake the iiiten of tfhe Scriptures entire- lv. The Bible does not set up as a Textbook of Modwn Science: its aim is to record this experience 0f mankind in his daily relations with his Maker. and to present him with a chart which) will direct him to that inward and spiritual peace so consaiicuouslyi abstiit in iile Wflfid torlnv, 'l'fie Genesis Creation, tn me. appears as the inspiration of a pp-rarv master-rnlnckwhomekeshls subject so simple that even 011!‘ teacher friend may ccmnrchend ,1}. and yet; so lozicai in zts seqoer" that the scientist can find T10 fault with them.
