Little harm or little good will result from the Weaver bill, now before the Ohio Legislature which provides that ten verses of the Bible shall be read in the public schools of the state each day that the schools are in session. This opinion was expressed by several Protestant ministers.
The Cleveland Federated Churches have taken no action of any kind concerning the bill, according to Rev. A. J. Wright, committee secretary. There has been practically no discussion of it in the meetings of the various denominational groups. It has had practically no place in the discussion in the Protestant pulpits here.
Rabbi Abraham Nowak of the Temple on the Heights, objected to the passage of the bill in a sermon on the subject.
