Judge Frank McGloin was here
last Sunday. He addressed the |
people at TOgnoni's pavillicn. He
is . splendid orator. It Was quite
. treat 10 the Sidell folks to hear
him. He said We have to educate
our children to keep up with the
times, and the man or woman who
Is not educated has to take . back
Deat. The inlldels and other on.
ponents OF the church say that We
do not want to eulighten the pes.
pie. but rather keep them in the
lark. while they (the inAdels) say
hat they enlighten man and show .
him bis true position. That bis an
cestors were the hideous baboonI
md the grinning ape: and still fur
her, that they were the companions
II the beasts Of the forest and theI
insects that crawl ct our feet. and I
hat the grave was the end Of man.
3ut the church teaches . dinereutI
doctrine. 1t tells rs that We have
soul made in the image and like
less OF God. and that there 10 ano-
her world beyond the grave, where 4
re will, by keeping The command q
