The Reading Baptist Association Ate
the State Superintendent.

The Reading Baptist Association After
the state Superintendent.
READING, May 15.-The following is the
unanimous action of the Reading Baptist
Association, composed of more than thirty
flourishing congregations, located in half
a dozen counties in the eastern section Of
the state. The resolutions were given to
the newspapers late Saturday afternoon
1t is stated here that the Baptist, Metho-
dist and in fact all Protestant organiza-
tions in this state will take similar action:
Whereas, The institutions of this coun-
try rest upon the intelligence Of its citi-
zens.
Whereas, A system OF public schools OF
high order, open to and sustained by the
people, are n necessity.
Whereas, 1t is a fundamental law Of the
land that the state and the church are
entirely seperate. The church, by what
ever name it may be known, has no right
to interfere in any possible way in the
control of the public schools, or to seek
in any way to use the school as a means
OF perpetuating itself; and
Whereas, No class of persons, therefore,
can be justly employed as teachers in
these schools who are distinctively repre-
sentatives of any religious order or class
or church, and
Whereas, To employ therefore, priests
or nuns or any other persons dressed in a
garb that distinguishes them as religious
teachers, is wholly and absolutely incon-
sistent with the purpose or conception of
public schools, especially is it an offence
against the rights and convictions of our
common countrymen to address the
teachers in our public schools by names
that designate their religion, charact er
and position therefore,
Resolved, That we read with profound
astonishment the letter of State School
Superintendent Schaeffer in which he de.
clares that there is no impropriety in the
employment of SISTERS of Charity as
public school teachers, or in the pupils
addressing them as sisters and priests
as Fathers" " We are filled with amaze
ment and Indignation that Superintendent
Schaef1er should say that he saw no OBJ
| lection to the use of such designations.
Resolved, That the following statement
"lf were to go to a reception in the
| Vatican palace | would, according to Gus
tom, kneel before the Holy Father, and
would not consider myself less true to the
| Protestant faith on that account" and
| indeed, the whole tenor of his letter be-
trays such absolute want of appreciation
of the influence that mould the character
of the youth as to entirely unfit him for
| the position he occupies.

the great printers generosity, his gift of
$50 600 to a revolutionary fund and other
patriotic actions Miss Mary ShOener con
vulsed the audience with an humorous
reading, after which a spirited debate
was introduced by Messrs. NJ. n. Horn
and Edward Snyder, the subject being
"Resolved, That suicide shows more
courage than a soldier" In defending
the resolution, Mr.. Horn made a point OF
the fact that a suicides death was de-
liberate that he was looking his fate in
the face, whereas a soldier though in the
heat of battle generally lost all thought
of death and even on going into an en-
gagement fully expected to return alive.
Mr.. Snyder attacked the subject in
vigorous style. He believed that the
suicide looked forward to death as a re-
lief from some great physical or mental
torture and that no courage at all was re-
quired. The decision was awarded Mr.
Snyder. The entertainment was con
cluded by "A clarionette solo by Harry

There is much speculation here about
the stamina of the Pottsville base ball
club. More than a majority of the people
who take an interest in the sport believe
that if Shenandoah had base ball grounds
in order it could get the Pottsville club
at a cheap price. Pottsville is like Shen-
andoah-not much of league town and
won't support a losing club. The defeats of
its club at Harrisburg will appear as Ban
