remsrks which the Unitarian
teacher makes shout the triune
God Satisfy those who believe, and
want their children TO believe, in
the trfune God! What, II the Cath
Ollie teacher would try to impress
convictions. which are contrary to
the convictions Of the Protestant,
into the minds OF the chfldreh Of
the Protest2nts! And so on. Our
public schools would soon become
the sporting place of the most
contradictory interpretations and a
source of endless strife among the
citizens. And what benefit would
the child derive Of such a course.
How could it. know which one Of
the explanations is correct or
wrong? Perhaps they are all
WRONG. Would that lead the child
to respect the bible as the revela-
ton of the true God? No, the ir-
reverence toward this grand book
would be still greater than it is
now. Therefore, ! say once more ::
No compulsory reading of the bible
! In our public schools; it is alto
gether unbiblical and unchristian.
Religion Apart From State.
And it is altogether un-Ameri-
can. The public schools Of our
country are institutions Of the state,
paid for by all its citizens, Chris
tians or nop-Christians. Now what
| is the mission of the state toward
its citizens? 1t is to govern and to
protect all its citizens alike in their
| secular life. The state has nc
mission to teach its citizens relig-
| ion, but only to protect all its citi-
zens and guarantee to all religious
liberty, whatever their religion may
be. To the state the Protestant and
Catholic, the Christian and the Jew
should look alike, provided they
do not disturb the peace and do live
outwardly as honorable citizens
The state should make provisions
that outward morals be taught ant
enforced, but it has no business t
NEEDLE into religious matters
These belong before the forum d
the church, but not before that o.
the state. Caesars realm ant
Gods realm is an altogether differ
ent one, as Christ has plainl,
shown. This also finds expression
in the grandest constitution tina
ever has been drawn up by mn
the constitution Of our country-iI
the words: Congress shall make
no law respecting the establishment

Of religion, Or prohibiting the frae
exercise thereof" That il true
Americanism. and every true Amer
lean should stand pat with this
grand principle. We should see to
It that no one will force the state
to mix in religious matters. which
would be the case il the state
would introduce compulsory read
ing Of the bible in our public
schools. What right has the state
to teach the child Of the Jew TIE
Lords prayer or to make it read
passages of the new testament,
treating on Jesus, who in the eye OF
the orthodox Jew is blasphemer
and impostor? What right has the
state to make the child OF the Uni
tartan or Scientist sing gospel
hymns which say the very opposite
of what these people believe! II
their children may be compelled to
listen to, and learn, the gospel OF
the Savior. the same law may come

-. n. wllheln Gives Views on
Effort to Change State Con.
Il. etjtutjon.

rock Island, May 20.--Editor Tho
Aseus: The National Reform as
socistion and similar organizations
ave made it their aim to introduce
compulsory reading Of the bible in
Nv public schools OF our country.
al present they are especially ac-
i've in our state. because the
constitutional convention is in ses-
sian at Springfield, framing a new
draft Of the constitution. 1t is the aim
Of these jreformers to exact enough
pressvfe upon these men so that
hey shall embody into the new
corStitution clause requiring the
adv reading of a portion Of the
Able in all the schools. In this
vay they think conditions in our
country could and would be bet
tered.
MANY OF our citizens may think
that their endeavor il good one
And heartily endorse it. But II we
look At the issue squarely, it is not
such a good thing; on the con-
trsry. the endeavor is neither a
service to the bible and the king
dom Of God, nor is it a service to
the state. And | and many others
of nv conviction deem this Ques-
ton Of the greatest importance. l
wish to make public statement
on the subject. Not irreverence,
but rather the highest reverence to
the dear old bible and also the
ardent love to the country of my
!. birth and its free institutions,
i guaranteed by the constitution of
the country, prompts me to make
this statement. My aim is to show,
in short, that compulsory reading
Of the bible in our public schools
il not only un-Christian but also
un-American.
Does Not DO Justice.
1t Is un-Christian, because that
kind Of reading of the bible would
in no wise do justice to the sacred
book, and no Christian ought to
! stand for such a use of this book
For to use a good thing in q way

He broke of suddenly. and the two
men. struck by the same thought,

soon as he'd dynamited the jam" said
Hilary.
He felt ashamed Of his suspicious.
Yet. remembering that day when
Baptiste was comforting with Pierre.
he could not wholly rid himself Of
them.
"Lafe." he said. "what was II you
heard those men saying after the &C.

these people get over trifes. They're

body had sawed part way through the
logs Of the boom"
Then for the first time the words Of
Madeleine Rosny came back to Hilary:
Look to yoar boom! Look to your

He hung his head and flushed with
shame. II seemed impossible to assc
ciate that act of treachery with her.
Yet. struggle as he did, her last
words haunted him.
