TEACH BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

The Worlds Christian Citizenship
Conference, in session at Portland,
Oregon, makes the request that the
Bible be taught in the schools Of tie
country and expresses doubt whether
this country is entitled to be called
a Christian nation unless such action
is taken The poor pedasog must
know something of all the sciences
for the class room, including practical
domestic science and agriculture, and
If the conference would have its way
the teacher would have to take an
examination and teach a Book that
has been studied for more than two
thousand years and never understood.
We say never understood, for the
reason that there are probably not
two people in the world who would
agree upon the meaning of every pas
sage OF Scripture in the Bible. Con-
ferences of all kinds and characters
are held in this country from time to
time and many advanced ideas are
heard and many freak recommends
tions are made, but this Christian
Citizenship Conference expresses the
greatest freak Of the year.
In the public schools are childr n
OF all the different religious faiths.
The teachers themselves hold differ
ent opinions upon the meaning the
Bible intends to convey. That Book
contains history, poetry, prophecy and
revelation The truths of the history
and the beauties of the poetry may
be agreed upon, but the meaning or
the prophecy and of the revelation
would give rise to no end of trouble
in school life and thousands of par
ents would rather pay tuition in pri-
vate schools to have their children
taught the Bible as they see II or not
have it taught at all rather than have
sacred history taught by teachers with
whom they do not agree upon scrip
tural texts
No one knows better than super
intendent of schools how much con-
flict would grow out Of such course.
The superintendent knows that the
preaching of a baccalaureate sermon
TO a graduating class often provokes
discord in the schools among the pat
rons. In every instance where doc
trinal sermons are preached there is
only a percentage of the parents who
are pleased and those displeased give
vent to their displeasure.
The Bible is a sealed Book, If 1t
were not more people would agree
upon the meaning of the text. There
are a thousand different denomina-
tons i'm the world holding and preach
ing different doctrines and all of them
striving to learn the truths of the
Bible. Nine hundred and ninety nine
of the thousand are wrong if either
one is right and more than one of
tn nm cannot be right. The struggle
TO learn o' Bible truths must con-

Love.

| am inclined to believe that for a
woman love is the supreme authority
that which judges the rest and de-
cides what is good or evil For a
man, love is subordinate to right. 1t
is a great passion. but it is not the
source of order, the synonym of rea-
son, the criterion of excellence. 1t
would seem, then, that woman
placed her ideal in the perfection of
love and a man in the perfection of
justice.-Henri Frederic Amiel.

The convict ship Success which
was brought to this country last fall
and is to be exhibited at the Panama
| Pacific. exposition is, so far as is
known. the Oldest ship still in com
mission, and is one of the last relics
of the old-time convict system in
which torture played a leading part
Tke ship was built at Moulmain, Brit
ish India, in 1890, is of the old East
lndianman type and carries an arma-
ment Of seven brass guns. The YES
sci carries the same equipment as
it did when it was used as a con-
vict ship, including implements of tor
ture, while wax figures appear in all
the cells, representing the prisoners
who occulsed them many years ago.
Views of the ship are published in
the July Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine, and an article states:
"As. relic of bygone ideals and
methods the ship is exceedingly in
teresting. Prior to 1920 there were
145 offenses for which the penalty
was death, under the British laws
Now there are only two murder and
treason. Convict ships were used not
only for transporting prisoners, but
We're used as prisons as well, and it
often happened that convict spent
the remainder of his days on one
ship"

UNCLE SAM A SULPHUR KING
Growth of Industry Has Been Phenom'
email, and This Country Now
Leads the World.

The United States is fast coming to
the fore as one OF the greatest sulphur
producing countries in the world.
Louisiana, Nevada and Wyoming are
the largest contributors. The output
for 1912 was S03.472 long tons, accord
ing to the Engineering and Mining
Journal, as compared with 265,664
long tons in 1911. Louisiana was the
biggest producer.
During the first twelve years the
growth of the sulphur industry in the
United States has been phenomenal,
and the last seven years has seen the
reinforcement of Sicily from the domi
mating position so long held in the
worlds sulphur market.
In 1900 the sulphur production of
the United States amounted to 3,147
tons; the imports during that year
were 1886 tons, of which 166,s25
tons were classified as crude sulphur,
chiefly from Sicily.
During 1912 the domestic produc-
ton constituted more than 81 per
cent. of the consumption and the i'm,
ports amounted to less than 8 per
cent. Moreover, the imports of sui
phur from Italy were only 81 per cent.
of the total importation, and Japan
was the leading exporter of sulphur
to the United States, 81 per cent of
the foreign sulphur having come from
that country.
