EPUBL|C SCHOOLS

Question: Is the Bible read in the
public schools all over the United
States?
Answer: Six states require a por-
ton of the Bible to be read daily. in
their schools; six other states speci-
fically permit it by law; in 10 states
and the District of Columbia the law
is silent on the subject and under
general terms of the law, Bible read
ing is construed as permissible; in
five states whose laws otherwise con-
tain no specific provision on the sub
ject, the courts have rendered opin-
ions favorable to Bible reading. In
Michigan land California the matter is
at present somewhat in doubt. In 10
states, is not permissible to read the
Bible at stated times in the public
schools. Three of this 10 have adj
verse court decisions on such read
ing.

Ants Amazed at Prominence OF Mem
bers Marching Without Robes.
Scottsdale, Pa.-What perhaps Ro-
man Catholic sympathizers in their
hatred toward the Ku Klux Khan fear
more than anything else is the posi-
bility of the Klan's unmasking. The
mask has been the bugaboo used upon
all occasions in attacks, verbal and
otherwise, upon the organization by
Rome followers.
Klansmen of this city last Saturday
night paraded 1000 strong, dispensing
with the robes and masks. The law
less element were so petrifed with
amazement at the disclosure of the
fact that many of the best and lead
ing citizens were in line that they
just naturally forgot to use their
stock of brickbats, clubs, guns, etc.,
carefully gathered together for the
occasion. Today the Romanists are
in mourning. Their last weapon of
offense has been taken, at one fell
blow, out of their hands.
State troops were likewise in evil
dence and made it plain to the lurk-
ing mob that un-American tactics,
such as were put in force at Carnegie
the preceding week would not be
tolerated. With the unmasking of
the Khan Scottdale Romanists are dis
consolately searching for a new rail-
lying cry with which to oppose the
friends of the public schools and
Professionalism.

POINTS OUT PERIL TO WHITE
SUPREMACY.

DR.. William Guthrie, department
of economics of the College of New
York, in speaking at the convention
of the Wisconsin Bankers associa-
ton in Milwaukee, said:
"Unless immigration of other than
whites is halted entirely, two gen.
erations will see the whites of the
United States wiped out. Colored
races rear families much faster than
white families, and we must protect
the white race in this country"
With the Japs slowly but surely
gaining control on the Pacific coast,
and with ten million negroes in
America, the above words bear spe-
cial significance. A New York negro
paper few months ago called on all
negroes to fight politically, and if
need be physically. 1t is high time
that white men are organizing.

its kind, and its membership is
growing rapidly. On August Is this

THE WHITE H0RSEMAN
OF THE YPSE
REV. CHAS. II. GUNSOLUs.

quering and to conquer. The Klans-
man is clothed in white and is in the
fight to win. The white rider is
called Faithful and True and is said
to fight for Righteousness and truth.
This is exactly what the Klansman
is doing i'm being faithful to the
tenets of the Christian religion and
in defending the flag and the Bible.
The white rider is said to have
eyes of fire and to have a secret name
which no man knoweth but he, him
self. Surely no one can doubt but
that this refers to the Kansman,
whose symbol is fire and whose name
and workings are in secret.
In Revelations 1913 we read:
"And he is arrayed in a garment
dipped in blood and his name is
called The Word Of Cod"
The blood in this case refers to the
red which is found on the robe Of the
Klansman. The Word of God refers
to the truth for which the white rider
takes his stand.
In Revelations 1914 there is a
vivid description of the Ku Klux Khan
in action and on the warpath against
sin, ignorance, Romanism, etc. We
read that the armies go forth clothed
in fine linen, white and pure.
The sharp sword which proceeds
out of the mouth of the white rider
is the symbol of war and victory.
The climax of the battle is de-
scribed in the Apocalypse, where the
white horseman, typical of the Khan,
fights against the red beast of proph-
ecy. The beast is typical of sin,
ignorance, paganism and Romanism.
Prophecy points to the year 1926
as the final and complete overthrow
of Romanism and the devil.

WORLDS NEED is PEACE.

What more poignant need in the
world of today, tomorrow-and per-
haps many tomorrows-th peace?
The wealth now wasted on one bat
ueship, doomed for the junk heap
after a few years afoat, would build
many hospitals. Only one years ap-
preparations for coast defenses,
standing armies, pension bills and
such throughout the world would
bring many school houses many uni
versities, into being. The way has
been pointed by Edward W. Box, who
offers 100000 for the best plan by
which the United States may cooper
ate with other nations to eradicate
war.
This cause overlaps all the rest.
Pestilence and poverty have stalked
the world for ages. Why have they
never been conquered? Why so
many centuries when what there was
of learning was confined to the few
and only now some general effort be-
ing made to make knowledge avail
able for many? The answer is:
War.
Preparation for war.
Waging of war.
Paying the debts of war.
Nations cannot, will not, dare not
cooperate against the common foes
of humanity-disease and poverty
and ignorance they stagger
under the cost of going armed
against each other. The healing,
creative impulses of humanity can
not be fully unshackled while the ap-
palling cost of the suspicion and hat
red of which ornaments are the SYM
Dol must be met.-Detroit News.

Divorces in America

Over hundred thousand divorces
were granted in the United States
last year, while there were a million
marriages. During the twenty years,
1900 to 1920, 1,Ss3,591 divorces were
allowed in America, in which $685.
696 men, women and children were in
volved.
One reason why so many marriages
turn out failures in the United States
is that it is so easy for young peo-
pie to get married. For instance, in
some states, the age limit under
which it is illegal for boys and girls
to get married, is only twelve for
girls and fifteen for boys. In seven
teen states there is no minority age
at all.
