Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Schools for Manitoba Probably the most conclusive reply to the cry Of Godless schools is the fact that in the Public Schools of Ontario, where the religious exercises are the same as in Manitoba, Roman Catholic children, two-thirds of the Roman Catholic children of Ontario, are being edu cated in the National Public Schools. In his celebrated speech on Provincial Issues - The Religious Cry, at Hamilton, during the local campaign Of 1886, the Hon. Edward Blake pointed out that Principal Caven, the head Of the Knox Presbyterian Theological College, Provost Body, the head Of Trinity University, one Of the Theo logical Colleges Of the Church of England, Principal Nelles, the head Of Victoria, the Methodist University, and Prin cipal Castle, the head of the Baptist College, had agreed upon the form of undenominational religious exercises in the Ontario public schools, Of which the religious exercises in the public schools Of Manitoba are practically a copy. The churches said Mr. Blake, approached each other; they agreed to co - operate with each other, and I thanked God for it. I thanked God for it because I thought it was an indication that we were beginning to sink, in some degree, our sectarianism, and to realize our points of agreement; to recognize more and more how much there was that we all held together Of the fundamental common truths of Christianity. I thanked God for it because I thought it pointed to a broader, more generous, more Christian feeling, which boded great good for the church, and for the world. He further drew attention to the fact that the late Archbishop Lynch, the head Of the Roman Catholic Church in Ontario, did not Object to the introduction Of these undenominational religious exercises into the public schools Of Ontario, although it was at those schools that two-thirds of the Roman Catholic children of the Province received their education.
