SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a. -
81 deny the right of our American
universities and colleges to take
our young men and women, reared
in Christian homes to faith and
in the tenets of our re-
ligion, and send them back to MS
atheists. l tell you this is not
right and the sooner the fact is
remedied the better 1t will be for
the American people"
The above statement was made
by Rev. Frank L. Goodspeed, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian
church of Oakland. "They tell
u.s." continued DR.. Goodspeed,
THAT some of our college pro-
fessors are sowing the dragons
teeth of doubt Articles In our
leading magazines show us that
some of the men now enjoying po-
sitions made possible by Christian
sacrifice and Christian beneficence
are blasting the rock of ages If
this be true, we indeed are in
sorry way.
"Our colleges are supposed to
teach something constructive and
positive in religion, and II they
cannot do this it certainly is their
duty to keep quiet on the subject.
