to get what they regard as Gods share
of the $1,000. 600, 600 of new wealth
which government and other crop re-
ports state TO be the portion of the
farmers since April last. That share is,
they say, a modest one compared with
sums spent for luxury.

DR.. PARKHURST On Religion In School.
Irritating Question of the Introduction of Religious
Teaching Into Our Schools.

ing what comes to me by talking with
all sorts and descriptions of people.
Fundamental Truths the Same.
And there are very few who, if ap-
| preached rightly, are unwilling to ex-
press themselves in just the way in
dicated.
OF course. so far as relates to the
fundamental question, all Protestants,
Catholics, Jews and Mohammedans
stand on the same ground
From that main trunk of belief in
God there diverge differing branches.
but these branching differences do not,
on account of differences. become
otherwise than absolutely one in the
trunk they spring up from.
Now the question I propose is this:
Since the great mass of our people are
in substantial agreement so far as
relates to the fundamental fact of an
Infinite Being of some kind. why can
we not without prejudicing the inter
ests of the special doctrine of any de-
nominational class of religionists,
agree to have the fact of such an In
finite Being taught and emphasized in
our school instruction?
Such a course would not mean teach
ing Professionalism, Catholicism, Juda-
ism, Mohammedanism or any other
ism, but only the fundamental truth
upon which, confessedly, all those
isms are based.
me existence of a Divine Being even
when shorn of all accessory or second
airy ideas, is the greatest thought pos
sible to the human mind.
1t essentially changes the meaning
Of the world and of everything upon
it, human life included
1t is the only true antidote to coarse
materialism and all human debasement
and corruption that such materialism
is destined ultimately to carry with it.
Now, how many of us, Catholics, Jews
and Protestants, are prepared to work
together in our schools for the Guilt
walton of so much religious belief as
We hold in common?

denial of the possibility of according

It does not shut God out but only

There is a vast difference between
