IGNORANCE or THE BIBLE

Many college student today, I
feel sure, would fail to find any
thing funny in Tom Sawyer's pre-
dicament when before the assem-
bled Sunday school he was asked
to name the first two disciples, and
answered David and Goliath.
When Mark Twain wrote his
earlier books, Hebrew kings and
prophets, Christian apostles and
martyrs were familiar acquain-
tances of elementary school chill

graduates know as little of them as
they do the Greek mythology. Not

ADVENTURE OF

But then what was the use of
them dressing up when they had SO
much scrubblng to DO lor everybody!
When they were all inside, Rag
Tag carefully closed the trap door
overhead, shutting out all daylight.
But instantly soft light penetrated
the darkness, for million glow
worms turned on their lamps.

RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION

Whether Patriarch Tikhon OF the
orthodox church in Russia has
really meddled in politics and
worked illegitimately against the
Soviet Government is not clear.
Naturally he is opposed to Soviet
ism, but he would not have been
expected to take sides on such an
issue. His domain is purely spir-
itual. He may have been guilty OF
a lack Of tact, rubbing the Soviet
officials the wrong way instead Of
trying to get along with them for
the sake of continuing his clerical
work unhindered. But tactless-
ness is not crime in any country.
And there is nothing in the accu-
sations brought against him pub
licly by the Soviet representatives
to indicate criminality. Their talk
is big, but their testimony is child
iSh.
The conclusion seems inesca-
pable that the Soviet government
has determined to do away with
Tikhon as il did with Butchkevitch,
the Roman Catholic prelate, be-
cause he wants to crush out or
ganiZed religion in Russia. 1t
seems, at bottom, a strange jeal-
ousy of all authority, even in spir
itual matters, except that Of the
Soviet itself.
This is nothing less then, than
religious prosecution, of which
history is full of examples. And
Lenine, Trotzky ct al. should learn
from those examples, unless they
think that history is bunk
Martyrs have always been the
seed of the church, and religious
persecution has always strengthen
ed the cause of the prosecuted
