THE BIBLE A has been banished from the Public schools of California on the ground that it is a sectarian book, and is: classed on that account with the Jewish 'Iialmud and the Koran of the Mohammedan. It is not to be wondered that the decision of the State of California should have provoked consnderable comment in the Press of the l’nited States. and not a little censure ot' the short-sighted pol- icv. The Bible, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. is above all race and creed. and “the eviction will not bring satisfaction to most Americans. It is a great monument of literature, an school curriculum without :1 serious loss to the teachers and the pupils. The teachers are deprived of a text that illustrates the wisdom of l-‘iving under law and the disastrous results of law- lessness. If the book cannot be used in the schools. presumably even the English teachers who employ it as a model in the class room are doing wrong. LimitleSs testimony might be adduced from authors who have owned much of their art of selfâ€"expresâ€" mm.

The forepart of Sunday was an ideal day but became misty in. the evening. consequently in the morn- ing a large assemblage gathered in the Presbyterian Church, as it was communion day. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Jones, gave an excellent sermon from the words, “Do this in remem- brance of me.” The program that was to be given on Friday, the 23rd, is postponed to April 13. It will be given in Wat- son’s Hall. Time is on the march and we are marching along swiftly as every March 22nd that comes brings us nearer our journey’s end. A good old veteran east of our residence who is in his 86th year loaded a big saw-log one day recently and brought it to Priceville. He is an old resident of Artemesia. Can any- one tell us of an old vetenan of Glen- elg who can do the same? We would like to hear. What will some of the younger generation be who area getting on the decline at half the age of the above healthy veteran, if ever they will. pass over the four- score mark as did this smart old veteran of Artemesia?
