our educational institutions need to
be guarded carefully as the children
of today are to be the fathers and
mothers and statesmen of tomorrow,
and already the low hollow growl of
the enemy of our public school system
can be heard, and in some of our
public schools the Word of God is
ignored with disdain, and our children
are being educated likewise. No athe-
ist or intdel, man or woman. or any
who do not believe in Americas Bible
and Americas God, and will not honor
and revere Americas laws should be
allowed to teach in Americas schools;
only God-fearing men and Crist-like
women should be allowed to teach our
children for 1T is He that hath made
us what we are today and to Him
belongs all the honor and glory"
