The resolution reads as follows: ‘Whereas, This class {s an undenom- inational body, organized for the pur- pose of Bible study and the promotion of Bible reading, and Whereas, in the public schools of our city, which are undenomination- al and attentied by children of every creed and faith, the majority of which belfeve in Bible reading, the Bible is not read, there be it, Resolved, that this executive com- mittee of Everyman's Bible class go on record as in favor of restoring the reading of the Bible in the public schools, and that the members use every means in their power to accom- plish this end, and be it further Resolved, that a copy of this reso- lution be sent to the superintendent of public schools in New Britain, and to each member of the school board, and fhat the resolution be read to the Bible class, next Sunday morning.
