READING THE BIBLE •

Snt,—" Janus" in the issue of January t4th last suggests that far more people receive knowledge from the Bible by learning extracts rather than by regular reading. At my own school a portion from the Bible is read to the whole school at least duce a day in the chapel. If this be the case at other similar establishments, Archbishop Lang's wish may well be fulfilled as a result of the knowledge inculcated by means of a daily lesson, read under suitable conditions, with as beneficial a result as personal reading might produce.—I am, Sir, yours faithfully, 32 Lyndale Avenue, London, N.W. 2.
