Bible Reading Totals In reporting the Bible reading activities of Mrs. J. H. Slagle's Sunday school class at the Mount Zion Methodist church in the issue of December 26, The Press unin tentionally detracted from the credi it due her pupils by giving the total portion of Scripture read by each pupil in verses instead of chapters. Thus the total amount read by the dass since September' 15 should be 3,931 chapters ; by Miss Jane Setser, 993 chapters; by Fred erick Slagle, 770 chapters ; etc. The entire class is to be congratulated on their fine record.
