WHO PAYS THE BILLS?

We lare misled, perhaps by the
frequent statement that the "Gov-
eminent pays the bill" We speak of
Estate aid Federal appropriations"
for roads, schools, county work,
salaries of public officials etc, as
though somebody was giving us
money free gratis, for nothing.
Judging from frequent expressions
beard, and the lavish expenditures;
urged for this. that and the other
thing, some such idea as stated
above exists among the people gen
orally. Of course, moments re-
Election will expose the error of such
a conclusion. Who is the government?
Where does the Federal and State
governments get their money?
AS everybody knows, the only
funds available, or that can be made
available, must come by taxation.
The people who own farms and
carry on the business of this coun-
try constitute the only source of re-
venue available, through taxation, Tor
carrying on the affairs of govern
ment. Zones pays the freight as
we say, every time. When we ask
for and insist upon and agree to an
appropriation by the Federal or
State government, or the county. it
should be remembered every time,
that the tax payers of the country
are taxing themselves. One would
imagine from the frequent, lavish
and often unnecessary appropria-
tions made, that some one or some
organization somewhere. were hand
ing US money free of charge or ex-
pense.
Of course, these are we'll known
facts, often stated, but cannot be ton
often stated. If borne in mind the
probability is, that there would DC
more economy in the appropriations
and expenditures of so-called pub

"If | had an unconvertcd son or
daughter, l would rather they go TO
the penitcntiary than the university
for at the penitcntiary they would re-
ceive religious training and at the
university none"
The above strong and sensational
statement was made by Rev. DR..
Dennison, pastor of the First BAPTIST
church, Newport News, in the bacca
laureate sermon before the gradual
ing class of a large school in New
port News, according to report in
the Timcs-lierald, of that city. The
subject was, "Baalism, the scicn
tific Religion of the Twentieth Cen
tury." No particular university or
school was singled out by the speak
er, but general blanket indictment
was made, which covered all the uni
versities, and educational institutions
conducted by other than denomina
tional schools, We infer from the re-
port of the discourse.
There is a widespread, almost uni
versal opinion prevailing. that much
that is skeptical if not positively in
ildel, prevails III the atmosphere Of
the institutions of higher learning,
and even in some of the theological
schools as well. In vain attempt TO
square the teachings of the Bible
with modern science teachers in the
higher circles of education interpret
the scriptures to square with their
so called scientific theories, and i'm so
doing or attempting to do, the heart
of The Bible is destroyed. Professor
Lcuba, of Bryn Mawr College, in re-
ply to Il questionable sent to Il large
plumber of professors of theological
and other schools of the country.
found from the replies, that "only II
per cent of biologists, 30 per cent of
historians, and 81 per cent of phys
icists believe in the existence of n
personal God" or course these men
cannot believe in the authority of the
scriptures or the divinity of Jesus
Christ. From this stand point ant
array OF facts. DR.. Dennison's charge
that "Baalism is the religion of the
Twentieth Century" may not be far
wrong. The Diety of Jesus Christ and
the inspiration of the Bible should
be issues in every church campaign
for the establishing and equipping of
so-callcd Christian schools and col
leges.
The hope Of the country lies not
i'll the expanding of our commercial
ism but in the Christian teaching in
the homes of the people, our public
schools, and especially in the Sunday
Schools of the nation. Eaithfulness
in teaching Gods word will stem the
tide of Indifference and infidelity
sweeping over our nation. "If peo-
pie cease to believe that Jesus is
God and that the Bible is the word
of God, there is an end of Christian
ity and Chris tendom."
