DIR. Winbigler Wants
No Religious instruction

The Rev. DIR. c. F. Winbigler, pastor
of the First Baptist Church:
II am In favor of moral instruction IN
our public schools that instruction 10 Dc
given by the aid Of textbook Oh
morals or ethics, but I am heartily OPP
nosed TO giving so-called religious IN
struction.
On the matter of moral instruction we
can all agree, on the latter there "ouio
always be continual dissatisfaction
Teachers are not placed in the SCHOOLS
TO teach religion, but are placed tnere
to give instruction in all that Is neees-
sary to develop the scholars inteitec-
tually and morally.
I am not convinced, even, that the
Ten Commandments should appear IN
such q textbook as / mention for the
reason of the various opinions and ~
terpretations given them by dlHerenl
classes. Personally, L would have no oo-
lection.
II has been stated that Scripture
reading and repeating of the Lord

The Baptist denomination has alwa:'
been opposed to any possible combina-

right to his own religious convictions,
and that we have not the right to com

| schools to receive even the religious con-
victions or instruction which We even
| believe to be best. There is no necessity
| for US to compel either our teachers to
instruct or our scholars to receive in
struction in religious matters, for the
| simple reason that many Of them would
not want to do such work and receive

A Frenchman's Views.

France once who said ne had spent two
years In the United States, and had
made n study of its people and their
methods. l asked him what impressed
him most. to which he replied: Mon
Dieu, one hundred and seventy-six re-
ligions and only one soup. Now, as
Stunning that his figures were correct,
we may estimate what the expense
would be to establish schools for all
these creeds.
Sunday schools were established by
Protestants and parochial schools by
Roman Catholics to give the first in
struction TO their children. The public
schools Were instituted for the pur-
pose of imparting to the children a

Religion Not Subject
Of Actual knowledge

The Rev Alexander Kent. pastor Peo-
pies Church,:
The movement to secure more eff
fective moral and religious IN
struction in our public schools Is one
with which, at first thought, all re-
ligious people are inclined to sympa-
thiZe. To all who regard religion as the
root of ethics, the Importance of having
il Systematically taught to the young
seems a thing beyond dispute. To all
such, religion should not only have
place. but commanding place. And II
religion were to be taught as other
branches of science are taught the rudi-
ments of it should certainly go into
our public schools. The teachers should
themselves be instructed in something
more than the rudiments. and required
to pass proper examination.
But, unfortunately. religion. as held
by the churches, is not a matter OF
knowledge but matter Of faith. Not
a matter of faith in the universe. nor
in the power behind phenomena, but of
faith in the Bible. or in a church. and
in a scheme or plan Of salvation said
to be therein revealed and attested by
miracle.
With this. manifestly, the public
school can have nothing to do. For the
work of ;nstructing children in this
plan of salvation no preparation is made
OF required. and this itself is sufficient
evidence that the public schools never
contemplated work OF this kind
To Inculcate Morality.
But it may be said that nothing OF
| this sort is contemplated or required
by the present movement. that the OBJ
! ject is merely to inculcate morality
based upon belief in Almighty Cod"
! That sounds plausible enough, but al
mightiness in itself has no relation to
morality.
Power does not necessarily mean good
ness, and If you could prove TO the child
which you cannot do-that there Is
such a power, and that 1t resides in G
great person or being. you would have
| done absolutely nothing toward making
| ii moral.
You must go farther; you must ex
| plain to the child the character of tina
person or being, and the nature Of his
| government over us. With this in view
those who are pressing this moVemen
