mittee.
In his address Rev. Mr.. Hams
stressed the necessity for religious
education in the public schools.
pointing put that education of the
heart as well as of the mind is es-
sential if education is to be bene-
fetal rather than detrimental. In
making the point the speaker noted
that a child who enters school as a
thief is a much more dangerous
thief when he comes out. if his
mind is the only portion of him that
IS taught.
Rev. Mr.. Hams supported the
principals of the Gary system" in
which an afternoon each week is
taken to lay schools subjects aside
for the moment while the children
are instructed in the more vital
things of life by persons to whom
they look for spiritual guidance. .'lf
your child is a Catholic. see that he
is a better Catholic. II a Jew, see
hat he is a better Jew, or if Presby-
terrain, make him a better Presby-
.erian." the speaker said.
Rev. Mr.. Hams showed that it
was not necessary to teach any par
ticular brand of religion. He con-
tended that as long as practically
all creeds believed in the same God,
and believed in living as that God
wanted us to live, il mattered little
What sort of religion was taught. He
tinted out the above mentioned
'nciples as a pretty big slice of
'gion in themselves. d
he speaker also mentioned the
ortant strides that the sciences
e made in recent years and warn
his hearers of what they might
ect in future wars if the minds of
IN arc able to produce such things
d at the same time are not in
ructed in high purposes and ideals.
