The Bible and the Schools.

We have never held the opinion that
it is either wise OF expedient to drive
every vestige Of belief in God from the
public schools; and yet this is what
some of our co-religionsts, with the
best intentions in the world, are doing.
There are passages in the Bible, in
Guiding the Lords Prayer, for which
any child would be the better for hear
ing-and it Notwithstanding name
for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to wax
strong, we shall later clamor in vain
for the restoration of that touch of
outward reverence for Christianity
which we, in certain localities, have
done our best to destroy, says the New
Century, Of Washington, D. G.
The Lords Prayer, in the King
James Version of the New Testament.
is spoiled by the scribes addition. ac-
copied by Professionalism for time, but
recently rejected by the makers of the
Revised Version. Passages in the New
Testament are so alike, both in the
Douay and King James Version-pas-
sages which need no interpretation
that no Catholic or Protestant or even
Agnostic could object to them. We
presume, of course, that the Aguostic
OF culture looks ON the Sacred Books
as pieces OF good literature. However
we are not making an appeal for the
retention of the Bible in the schools.
1t would be useless. The Agnostic
is against us. The Jew, so far as the
New Testament is concerned, might
nave his objections, and the practice
OF Catholics in this country is, while
exclaiming against the Public Schools
for their Godlessness, to do all thew
can i'll the way of objections to the
Bible, to make them more Goddess.
We know perfectly well that the
reading of the Bible, without infallible
Interpretation, is a dangerous process.
The unregulated Interpretation of this
Book of Books, with too slavish ac-
| ~~Pei~S VI IAC iCIIeI VI lfdllSHC1Ol,
has brought into being the thousand
divergent sects that weaken the force
OF Christian teaching But,-blind
and petulant as we, may be in the eyes
of some of our valued contemporaries
we can perceive little difference
between the attitude of the Atheists
i'll France who tear out the name Of
God from the textbooks intended fo,.
schools and that which some of us as
sumo towards the reading of the Lords
Prayer in the schools
Indifferentism in religion is the rule.
Men who regard poverty as a hell on
earth prefer to risk hell in the next
world, to be comfortable here. This
point Of view directs conduct. Reli-
gion ceases to be controlling force.
And the schools, deprived of even a
vestige of spirituality, cannot in the
least counteract the effect of the pre-
vailing Materialsm. We are not pro.
posing that any form of the Christian
religion shall be taught in the Public
Schools; but what can we predict of
the future of a nominally Christian
country, where the Ten Command
ments are no part Of childs educa-
ton.

Bishop Ludden, Of Syracuse, N. Y,
is outspoken against the Bible reading
in the public schools. He says that
the public schools are secular institu-
lions and that no religious exercises
should be carried on in them. eff
Superintendent Skinner and the rest of
them want to teach their religious
views to the children" says the bishop,
''let them open schools, as the Cath
olics and Jews have done, and pay for
them"

CAPT. SHAWE-TAYLOR.
Described bp Guy Cramer Of the Chicago
Tribune.

In a letter from Galway, Mr.. Guy
Cramer, the special correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, writes as follows
Of Capt. Shawe-Taylor, the Irish land
lord who is now in New York 10 ascer-
tain the views Of leading Irish-Amer-
leans ON the land question:
He is young man who stepped out
of the army, after he had gained hon
or reports in number for his work in
Burma and Egyptian campaigns, to
take up battle for Ireland's better
ment. He is the type Of the COM
ing men of Ireland from whom much
is expected and on whose shoulders
in great part must fall the task, in
volving many sacrifices in some cases,
of retaining the country from the
condition of ruin, unrest, poverty, and
suffering into which it has fallen
through misrule and the stubbornness
of landlordism.
1 met Capt Shawe-Taylor on the
family estate lying here in Galway.
His views on the English garrison"
as the landlords continue to be brand
ed, are not dealt out in gloved words.
He speaks his mind as one expects
from a man with his military recorl.
He, too, contends that universal land
purchase through government enable
ment is Ireland's only hope of saliva
ton. His statements are the views
held by Lord Dunraven, Lord Mayo,
and the 1,12S of the 1000 largest land
owners in Ireland who voted in favor
of conference.
Capt. Shawe-Taylor discussed the
land question freely. He said:
'The position of the Irish landlord
is this: He is not liked in England,
he is the object of the wrath of the
tenantry Of Ireland. If he goes to
England he is looked down upon. He
says, I'm an Englishman.' But the
Englishman of his social class prompt
ly says. NO, you're not; you're an
Irishman.' Here in Ireland the ten
ant says to him, You're an English
man; you're one of the English garris-
on; we want nome of you; we're tired of
you and of the fight we've made on
you for years. There you are.
"The root of Ireland's downfall is
that it has had two factions for scores
of years, each interested in the same
thing-the land-but each stubbornly
fighting the other to mutual loss, and,
in some cases, absolute ruin. The
landlord has said, TO blazes with the
Irish people, and he has spent much
of his time out of the country; the
tenant has said, TO blazes with Eng
land' and thus it has been constant
struggle and turmoil. IT. could hard
ly be otherwise 1 have had the aver
age landlord in view in making this
statement.
''That prejudice, it would seem, can
not be blotted out. The landlord has
stubbornly insisted that he will have
nothing to do with the tenant, except
to take his rent; the tenant has taken
the stand that the landlord can go
any course he pleases, and, as in for
mer years, he refused to pay his rent.
The result has been the crushing out
of Irish industry in the congested sec
tons; the tenant has had no induce
ment to work his acres to their
utmost;ruin and poverty have followed.
This cannot go on always. There
must be turning point. If the two
cannot agree, then, it is surely reason
able, let one take the land and the
other take the money value for the
land"

Father Phelan, of the Western
Waterman, propounds the following
conundrum: Why is coal selling i'll st.
Louis at 20 cents bushel? We have
the coal fields right across the river.
The operators say they are not charg-
ing any more for their coal. The rail-
roads declare they have not raised the
freight rate. The miners are certainly
not getting any more wages. Why
then are we paying such an enormous
price for coal?

Among the books sold at Edinburgh
the other day, as part of the collection

numerous marginalia in the handwrit-

Stuart there are these words: II would

ny blackguard; she devil, genuine,
real as imported from hell.' The
book brought $500.

A London correspondent says: Bourke
Cochran takes great interest in the
Irish land conference report and be-

subject. He has been enjoying Lon

engagements. He was at the Duke of
York's theater with Anthony Hope
Hawkins to see admirable Crichton."

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something
over which you have no control it is
obvious that worrying will not help
the matter in the least. On the other
hand. if within your control you have
only to act. When you have IA cold
and fear an attack of pneumonia, buy
bottle of Chamberlain Cough
remedy and use it judiciously and all
cause for worry as to the outcome will
quickly disappear. There is no
danger of pneumonia when it is used.
