| Evidence: | " It [the school's peity] proceeded no further than the practice of reading the Bible aloud, each boy in successive order one verse,in the early morning before breakfast. There was no selection and no exposition; where the last boy sat, there the day's reading ended, even if it were in the middle of a sentence, and there it began next morning." |
