the governors of purely secular
state have any authority to prescribe
religious duties to the people. The
purpose of our government is not to
prepare men for the next world
that is the business of the church.
The Constitution is a human instru-
ment, and its objects is to defend the
rights of man. The Constitution is
broader than ali the creeds put to-
gether. The Constitution Is the ma
tion's protest against the narrowness
Of the creeds.
Mans Value Increases.
Thomas jefferson, 1t Is said, re-
fused to issue a Thanksgiving pro-
clamation. The president should no
more issue such a proclamation than
one calling upon every citizen to be
immersed once a year. Government
Is established for practical purpos-
es; theology deals with speculative
opinions. That is why church and
state should be separate. A legiti-
mate government is as much out of
