The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1893-08-10

AS long as Protestants keep up SEM
blance of religious teaching, weapon
is ever ready in the hands of the Ro-
manists. The ROmanist has right to
complain, for his child must stay away
from school or else be subjected to a
religious teaching in which he does not
believe. If the schools were purely
secular there would be no cause for
complaint. AS the schools are at pres
ent he has case, which threatens the
safety of the system. Take that away
and it would be impossible to arouse a
movement in favor of division of the
school money. All would be on the
same level OF right and privilege we
will all come to the cOmmOn-sense po-
sition of rendering unto Caesar the
things that are Caesars. and unto God
the things that are Gods. Let the pub
lie schools be place of training for
citizenship and let the religious insti-
buttons devote themselves to. looking

Religion in Public Schools.

The Catholic church is pressing in all
directions it's plea for division of
school funds, but this is not the only
danger to our educational system. 1t
seems rational request that they be
allowed to educate these children in
their own way. No one can question
the right providing they pay for it them
selves, and providing they fit them for
honest, intelligent citizenship. The
state must look on every child as can
didate for citizenship. The state raises
the money and pays for the education.
The states view must then be kept in
mind to avoid confusion in the discus
sion of this problem. What is the in
terest of the state? If line is to be
drawn between morality and religion,
the morality of its citizens, but has none
whatever in its religion: Religion is a
grand thing, but no affair of the state.
is justice and right between man and
man. Religion concerns the salvation
of the soul in an other world and is a
L
state is interested in my behavior and
its business whether my soul is saved
or not. 1t is absurd to ask a share of
the public money to save my child's soul
in an other world Every Protestant
child has it preached to him from in
fancy that morality is great thing but
will not save the soul. If religion is
essential to morality, what religion,
whose religion? Religion in general
cannot be taught in public school. 1t
must be some particular religion. Then
it is the question which religion is es-
sential to morality and the one to be
taught in school. The Protestant
would make short work OF the Roman
lists claim, and the ROmanist of the
Protestant's. There are moral Buddhists,
MOhammedanS, ROmanists, Protest
ants and moral Atheists. He would
be rash man who should say which
religion had the least of immortality.
Morality and religion are separate in
thought and teaching and as the we'll
fare of the state depends on the mOrali-
ty of it's citizens, this should be taught
and for this teaching the public money
should be expended. If the Protestant
thinks the safety of the child's soul de-
ponds on the teaching of his own spe-
cial religion he is mistaken. My own
memory convinces me that the custom
as carried out by that sect, conduces to
anything else than genuine religious
impressions. The ROmanist is con-
vinced that the Protestant religion en-
dangers the eternal welfare of his child.
The Jew has his convictions and opin-
ions as sacred as either of the former.
We must remember that men of all re-
ligion or no religion contribute to this
school fund and have equal rights. If
justice and fair play are the qualities of
the American, 1 would have all trace of
religious teaching removed from the
public schools to avoid any possible clash
that would interfere with the states
duty of moral and mental training.

Soul to Soul.

The recorded lives of the great and
noble of the worlds actors show that
their acting furnishes an intoxicant
under whose spell we experience all the
exquisite sensations accredited to the
oriental hasheesh drug. But it's point
of impact is, like that of the drug, the
brain. 1t seldom enthralls the heart
whose refining touch-stone searches out
the true from the similitude. How
different from that is the feeling which
we have all at some time experienced,
when we have come in contact with a
man whom, to our eyes at that moment,
appears to possess warm heart, pure
soul and an abiding faith in his Maker
the requisites of good man. 1t is
not feeling that can be made to order,
for we may meet paragon without ex-
periencing the remotest approach to it.
1t seems to be subject to circumstances,
for it mostly occurs when our condition
is such, that it is not likely to incite to
invidiOuS comparison. 1t occurs at one
of those lucid intervals, wherein a man
thoroughly realizes and is able to grasp
the fact that he has soul. Or perhaps
it is the something, the soul. that we
fancy we see in the Individual that
awakens us. to the understanding of
our own. When it takes possession of
a man it permeates every fibre of his
system. Like ebb and flow of tide it
advances and recedes, gaining new
force from each return to it's fountain
head, the heart, the SOUL until by it's
intensity it gushes forth in sigh or sob.
The regret of the one, the anguish of
the other, is the quintessence of ex-
pressed feeling. Still we emerge from
such attacks wounded perhaps, but
with not visible breach in our armor
of ..skepticism and worldliness. Yet it
is curious while we recognize and in
wardly acknowledge the influence of
pure man, that reasoning animal as we
are, we remain what we are. j. F.
A very pertinent lesson as to wom-

WSMeet CharitY.n

IN the Artists Exhibition of 1898 at
the New York Academy of Design,
there was exhibited an oil painting by
J. L. G. Ferris, entitled Sweet Charity"
Its richness of coloring commanded
instant attention. while the lesson it
taught was so impressive that one nat
urally returned to it for a second view.
Its subject is a young lady Of colonial
times who is on an errand to one of the
poorer families of the town. She has
a sensible, charming face, which ex-
presses with remarkable fidelity the
sentiment of her Grand There is not
a home that this charming picture will
not ornament. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated.
Sweet Charity" was purchased by
the Publishers of the YOUTHS CoNPAN'
ION and has been reproduced in colors
in large size 1415x2l.'

Isolation of Consumptlves.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-United States
Consul Courtney Hixon at Foochow,
China, observing the decrease of con-
sumption through the Amick treat
ment is supplying the American col
ony as well as the Chinese with the
free medicines obtained from the gen.
erous Cincinnati discoverer. No gov
ernmental action will be taken to-
wards ISIS plating consumptives until
the regular session.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-The sanitary au-
thorities aroused by recent editorials
on the Amick cure and the infectious
ness of the disease, are debating how
best to isolate eonsumptives. The Post
says: Consumption is placed by Mich
igan in the same category as smallpox
and it will be similarly quarantined.

DENVER, Oct. 3O.-The proposed
state legislation isolating both resi-
dent consumptives and those coming
here has led to the incorporation Of
institutions for their care. The Den
yer Sanitarium company opened their

sicians, and combines isolation with
the Amick treatment, which each con
sumptive is given opportunity Of test
ing with medicines furnished these
physicians by the Cincinnati doctor
without cost. The Boston company fol

Familiarity with danger has bred con-
tempt and recklessness to such a de-
gree that the press cannot too often
urge rural people to greater care and

People making use Of Paris green,
ETC., who live many miles from drug
store, however, should keep the
material for making the antidote on
hand. According to the "Dispensatory
Of the United States Of America" the
following can be recommended:
mix 1000 grains Of the solution OF
tersulphate Of iron with twice its
weight Of water, and keep the mixture
in we'll stonped bottle, rub $50 grains
OF magnesia with water TO smooth
and thin mixture, put this in a bottle
capable OF holding thirty.two fluid
ounces (about one quartz, and fill it up
with water. When the preparation is
wanted for use mix the two fluids by
adding the magnesiI mixture grad
ually to the iron solution, and shake
them together until q homogeneous
mass results"
Farmers remote from villages or
cities will do no more than use ordi-
nary precaution, il they have the two
mixtures put up by their apOthecary,
aud keep them on hand for use in an
emergency. The mixture Of the two.
