Why Accept and Hide the Giver.

To the Editor Of The Times jim
SCOTS folly is much talked about, but
if we accept his gift of half a million
and build fountain with his statue
/ on il. then SCOTS folly will seem
small compared TO Detroits folly. This
will be sure way OF perpetuating his
folly and demonstrating our own lack
Of wisdom. We might write over it
these words TO the unworthy man
| whom We ignorantly worship Some
say that the ministers of Detroit who
are SO much opposed TO accepting il
would themselves eagerly take it If

not imagine them doing so unless the
condition TO erect his statue were all
nulled. But even provided the min
listers and We processing Christians
| we're capable of doing anything so
unwise, still in bible language il mis- ht
we'll be said: What is that TO thee ,"
| Even IL every minister. bishop, pope,
! leaders or cults, etc, were 10 give their
| assent this would still not make IL
right, for each OF these are poor fal-
lible creatures. Let righteousness or
rightness be our standard. Ministers,
| protesting Christians, etc, invaria-
bly, represent the very best part OF any
community. still if they do wrong, let
us not follow. A nation or city with
out honor is like person without
virtue The committee have been
tempted severely by this offer which
expresses little else than vanity, ex.
travagance and cruelty. The commit
tee have enough grace in their heart
to be thoroughly ashamed 10 accept
II, for they suggest hiding the statue
with ornaments. The committee
plainly have brains and a conscience.
only their arrangement reminds is
forcibly Of the fall OF man when God
called out In the garden Of Eden
Adam, where art thou?" So visitors
TO the island might properly ask
Scott. where art thou? The answer
would be They have hidden me PC
hind ornaments for they knew that
had no proper or deserved place
here, but as Satan tempted Jesus so
I, in my bequest, said "a beautiful
fountain will | give thee il thou wilt
sell thine honor and hold myself so
cheap that thou wilt to satisfy my
vanity erect my statue thereon and so
induce the people TO worship nam
mon They accepted, but were
ashamed, and hid me thus" We
should not encourage others TO bestow
gifts with conditions attached that are
an insult to our intelligence. Any or
binary sober man would have too
much common sense to make such a
silly request. Standardization is be-
coming too common; let us try to
stamp IL out as we would n disease. III
we have any respect for James Scott

is our brother and we are our broth
