TRUCKLE-It was expected that
much good thought would be ex-
pressed in The Public Forum, and
there is some in every issue OF the
paper. It is disappointing in that
we do not at all times rise above the
Pecksniffan tendency of the ordinary
old holier-than-thou type of newspa-
perdom or the despicable and damna-
BILE impertinence of the law and gos-
pei sharks. Bury those things in
quicklime or leave them to the devil,
to whom they rightfully belong. He
must have stood godfather to that
rubbish. Let him take them home
with him. \
I am referring to our squabbling
over so-caIled religions, as to which
is the better. 1t is not a question of
best, but worst. They must be equal
" bad, as they are dying at the same
time and of the same disease, viz,
natural cussedness. Secular govern
ments are going by the same route.
The churches are anti-Christ and are
the only atheists of which can learn.
Man-made laws and governments
are anarchy against nature, the law
of God. That they should some time
be thrown in the waste basket is per-
fectly natural and so obvious that the
ordinary preachers or lawyers should
be able to read as they creep along
through life. Let us not go down to
their level. N. A.
