GOD IN THE SCHOOLS
Strong Plea Against Effort to Expel Religious
Institution From These Institutions
Richmond State.)

tHlcnnnonQ state
Really the effort to expel God Almighty
from the public schools is being carried
too far. We note[ that somewhere out
West. in Chicago, We believe, violent OBJ
lection is made to the use Of the Lords
Prayer in the schools. What offense there
is in that invocation for Gentle or Jew
Catholic Protestant or inidel, we are
unable TO understand. Nothing can be
more sublimely beautiful or more appro-
pirate for all kinds of men than the ap-
peal to "our Father''-the father of all
of us weak, erring children of His, stumb-
ling on cur countless different ways into
the darkness OF the next hour, hoping
and fearing, enjoying and suffering and
the strongest and proudest of us needing
help so often. Certainly all may unite in
the prayer to the Unseen Power that His
name shall be hallowed, His kingdom
shall come, His will shall be done; that
We may have each day our daily bread
that our trespasses may be forgiven as
VIC forgive and that we may be delivered
from evil.
It would be better to have the ten
dency in the other direction. The fact
that the schools are for all the people
must be recognized and it is not right
that the children of any creed or form of
religious belief should be given cause for
offense or influenced against the wishes
of their parents. Yet there are certain
fundamental beliefs and sentiments III
which virtually all American people are
agreed and these should be encouraged
in the minds of children instead of being
excluded. There is a common sense line
easy to find btween religious freedom
and no religion at all. Because some
citizens choose 20 beIieve--or try to be-
iieve-that there is no God is no reason
why God should be banished utterly from
the schools their children attend. The
fact that we have some Turkish citizens
should not prevent US from teaching that
Mahomet was false prophet and that
one wife is the proper allowance for one
man.
In these days of liberal thought and
mutual respect of honest men for each
others opinions, it is not impossible that
eminent Protestants, Jews and Catholics
may some time get together and agree on
some religious teaching that all will be
willing to have their children instructed
in. The theory is that this matter should
be left entirely to the parents and the
spiritual guides chosen by them; which
is a very poor theory AS matter OF
fact We are raising a large crop of trou-
bic in many parts of the country in the
shape of children who are taught to
know great many things and the mean
ing and beauty OF nothing, who have
minds equipped after fashion and souls
as empty and barren as those of the
most depraved heathens, and We graduate
them into the world with no motive, hope
thought or conception higher than the
dollar or the passion, to be rich men
without bowels or anarchists with OF
without bombs.

DREAM PROVED TRUE
Miss Mangum Told Dream
Then Expired,
Buried at Feet Of Parents. Strange Request Of
Deceased, She Dressed Herself For
the Grave.
Durham TIerald.)

One peculiar thing in connection with
the burying of Miss Pattie Mangun
was the fact that the grave extends
from north to south instead of from
east 10 west, as is the custom. This
was in Difference to the wishes of the
deceased. Years ago she requested that
when she died she be laid to rest
at the feet of her father and mother,
whose memory she almost idoliZed. Her
wishes were carried out to the letter.
Further particulars regarding her sud
den death were learned from those who
attended the funeral. On Thursday
morning, as was her custom, Miss Man
gum drank a cup of coffee before ar
ranging her toilet. She then remained
in bed short While and in CONVERSE
ton with her neice, Miss Presley Leach,
Miss Mangum said that she dreamed
she died during the night and that her
death was like that of her sister, Miss
Mary, very easy. After this she arose
and prepared her toilet for the day and
sal down. A few minutes later she COM
planned Of severe pain in her head
and fell forward from the chair, dying
without a struggle.
She had dressed herself for the grave,
in part at least. Her hair was left just
as she had arranged it, few minutes
before the end.

THE BLESSING OF POVERTY.
An Incentive to Labor That Makes Man Strong
and Great.

To the Editor: My attention was call
ed to the blessings of poverty by read
ing the lives of great men. Nearly all
the truly great men of the world have
come from homes of poverty. BY pow
erty 1 do not mean that low degree of
it that entails suffering for food, cloth
ing and shelter, but 1 mean that poverty
that forces men to labor and economic
in order to meet their real needs
AS rule, wealth bestowed upon chill
dren is curse TO them. Give a boy or
girl all the money they want for
schooling, dress and pleasure and you
need not expect them to be Of much
force for good in the world. Few chill
dren of wealth and luxury have ever
done much for themselves, or for the
good of others.
Poverty makes a young man feel that
he must depend on his own efforts if he
ever rises in the world. He resolves to
be something in the world. He looks the
difficulties squarely in the face; they
are many and great, but he resolves to.
trample them under his feet. He has to
start low down, but he soon begins to
rise. His motto is excelsior excelsior"
l care not how poor boy may be, he
can rise if he Will Those who have
gone highest in the world, as a rule, are
those who started lowest Some of the
worlds greatest men We're such poor
boys that they BACKED shoes, helped
cook, cut wood and worked gardens to
pay for their schooling.
William Cary, of England, started life
in poverty. He was shoe-cobbler but
he determined to count for something in
the world. Day by day as he mended
shoes he kept his books before him and
studied. He became one of the best
scholars and one of the greatest mis-
sionaries the world has ever known.
Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln,
Dwight L. Moody and thousands of 9TH
ers who have reached the highest place
of fame, honor and usefulness, We're sons
of poverty A lawyer. doctor, teacher
or business man who has struggled up
through poverty to educate and prepare
himself for his work is almost sure to
be a success in his chosen profession.
The same determination that enabled
ahim to conquer difficulties in his prepa-
ration for work will also enable him to
conquer difficulties that lie in the way
of his success in work. Poverty de-
and true manhood laughs at difficulties.
There is place, and work, and q living
in the world fer every young person. of.
merit, prudence, industry, economy and
push. There is always room at the
top Only the faint hearted shudder at
difficulties; the brave determine to sue
coed. Let no young man be discouraged
because he is poor All past history

er success of life than the rich. An
overwhelming majority of the worlds
greatest and best men came from the
ranks of poverty.
Lives Of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime;
And departing, leave behind us,
