Southern Baptists will discontinue
the use of the Sunday school lessons
because, says the South Texas Bap-
fist, This system encourages the
idea that children are saved by edu-
cation rather than by regeneration,
and their literature for younger child
rem goes to other sources than the
Bible for its lessons" No fair-minded
person will blame the Baptists for re-
pudiating, literature which they be-
lieye to be heretical Some who are
not Baptists have long believed that
one who depends on the International
lessons alone will get an imperfect
and distorted view of the religion
taught in the Bible.

artistic and effective arrangement of

beautified the hall and parlor and a

decorations was the dining room Ia

some cluny centerpiece was a large

being tied with tulle. Later these
were served on the card tables. On

A good deal of confusion grows out
OF failure to distinguish between
the liberty Of the individual when he
acts for himself and the liberty OF
the individual when he acts for others.
The liberty Of each person acting for
himself alone is limited only by the
rights Of others and i, is not the
province of government to interfere
as long as the acts of the Individual
are within these limits. 1t is, howev.
er, the duty of the government to
watch closely him who acts in a rep
resentatiye capacity and to hold him
responsible for all his acts.
