TEACH THE BIBLE.
Young Might-be BoOdIers
Might Then Not FORGET"

wight huCu TNOL EOERCts
Said by the Carrolton Demo
crat:
What is the reason for so much
talk of boodling and violation of
law in this century when man real
ly ought to be better and more en-
lightened than formerlyi Case af-
ter case is brought to the attention
of the public. Not only in this,
but in every state in the Union,
even in the national government.
There must be a reason for all
this, and it would be Of interest to
our readers to read a discussion of
the matter,
In our opinion the real cause of
the matter is that in this country
our boys and girls are taught ev-
erything in the public schools ex-
cept the one great matter that
gives strength and backbone to
character. The teacher may preach
morals to the pupils from one
years end to the other, and yet
not be able to raise the moral
standard. Morals are based on a
human standard, and no matter
how high a standard he may set
for himself, there always comes a
day when he fails, either thru
temptation or in a belief that tho
he is doing wrong thinks he is do
ing right.
A statement like the above may
seem strange, but it is fact aud
if men rely on their own idea of
right and wrong this country will
in no time be on low plane of
morals.
Now, we train our children in
some books, in the book of books
they do not receive any instruc-
ton. A course of study for the
grades, high schools, colleges aud
University in the Bible could be
arranged, so as not to teach theOl-
ogy, but the plain practical truths
of the text book, having always in
the center of the picture Jesus
Christ and the great God of the
Understanding that there must
be foundation or rather a back
ing for the good in the world. This
would raise our people to higher
plane of civilization. Men aud
women would abhor evil and seek
to do good.
To-day vice is Haunted in every
place until the lines of Pope have
literally come true in our country;
Vice, a monster of such frightful mien,
To be hated, has but to be seen.
Seen too oft, we become familiar with its
face:
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.
If we would make a nation of
ourselves we must raise the stand
ard of morality, and to do this we
must commence at the bottom and
day by day drill into the minds of
our children the great principles of
the Bible and show back of it all
the punishment that comes to those
who do wrong.
Is there anyugood reason why
any person should object to this
method of education, for the re-
suits would be to make our chill
dren better and that is the aim of
