WAS HARDING?

Imperial Lecturer, K. K. K.

themselves honored that this mighty
multitude of Americans should bring
their flaming cross and plant it by the
body of their dead.
Gentlemen of the Ku Klux Klan, I
urge you to stand true to every ideal
and standard of life that is Ameri-
can, that you may be worthy indeed
to take your place in the leadership
of life of this mighty Republic, to
which glorious heritage God has TN
doubtedly called you. We have faced
a mighty foe, foe that fought our
country before it fought US. We have
faced an enemy that despises the
ideals and principles that are Amer
lean. We have fought through and
up until at last our banner is plant
ed on the hills and our blazing cross
flames afar. The nation looks to US
for a mighty revival of Americani"m,
true and undefiled. It is our happy
heritage to defend the ideals for
which our fathers died on bloody bat
tlefields. I call upon you to stand
true, to make good, to be clean and
honorable, to live clean lives of rec
titude and humble service.
And if thus we live and thus we
forge forward, our blazing cross shall
light the way for mighty men of
leadership within this Republic and
we shall hold aloft their hands while
they, in the name of the Christ who
died upon that cross, lead this Re-
public forward to victory. And when
their forms shall lie within the dust
from whence they came, our blood
red roses shall wither on the mound
that marks their sleeping place and
America shall lift it's hat as it passes
by.
This writer has stood inside the
door of this organization and has
prayed that God would lead it to the
hill-tops of a mighty opportunity for
service. Undoubtedly, God has led.
Our multitudes have gathered from
sea to sea. Our hosts are march
ing from shore to shore. We num-
Der our crusaders by the hundreds of
thousands. God help US to serve, to
bless, to benefit, to build up, to
achieve and to battle ever for our ma

Iagainst them? Just keep your eye
on the two-legged varmints who have
no respect for the sanctity Of the
home, and note the stand they are
taking against the Khan.
If the Khan did not stand firmly for
Protestant Americanism, would the
Catholics oppose them as they are
doing?
If some men are such cracking
good judges, and are so strong for
law enforcement, why do they oppose
the Khan when they admit that its
membership consists Of good men?
Why do they seek to destroy the
Khan?
If an organization is composed Of
law violators and moral degenerates,
can it be an effective factor in law
enforcement? Will it even attempt
to assist in any way to make this
country a better place in which to
live?
If an organization is composed OF
good men, isn't it fact that the Or
ganization will be just what it's men,
bers are? Which would you be more
willing to risk yourself with-an Or
ganization of law violators and their
henchmen, or an. organization that
the opposing foes themselves admit
is composed of good men?
If these things are worth anything
at all, aren't they worth studying
over? Isn't it about time for peo-
pie to wake from their peaceful Sum-
bers and begin to look around them to
see what is going on?
If the Khan is composed of 100 per
cent liars, as charged, why don't the
Cuckoos 60 just the opposite and
stick to the straight truth?
If the Cuckoos would boycott the

DENIED NATIONS ANTHEM IS UNSNGABLE
xxx.
Song Masters in Musical Round Table Blame
Poor Leadership.

Denial that the "Star Spangled
Banner" is unsingeble, as frequently
is charged, together with laying of
the blame for sluggish performances
of It upon poor leadership, was made
at a musical Round Table of music
ians in New York City recently. If
any audience does not sing the Amer
lean national anthem we'll, it is be-
cause the leader has not made the
proper manner of approach to the
singing of it, in the opinion of the
musicians. Instances were cited of
occasions on which the leader had
given such an unsatisfactory an
of the anthem that the
response of the audience was neces-
sarily lukewarm.
Mood of Reverence
"The leaders approach to the Star
Spangled Banner " said one speaker,
SHOULD at once set a mood Of rever-
ence for the song as a symbol Of our
love of country. Such an introduc-
ton is necessary in order to sound
the emotional keynote of the sing
ing"
"In every such approach to the
singing of song,"' said another, "the
leader show draw upon the elements
of craftsmanship, of which the chief
means are experience, example, testi-
mony and argument. Of these the
weakest approach is argument. In in
Producing the Star Spangled Banner
the leader should show forth his own
experience as to the emotional appeal
of the anthem, and he may also give
testimony as to that appeal. Best Of
all. he should demonstrate by his ex-
ample what the Star Spangled Ban
ner' means to him. He should not
lecture the audience as to why they
should respect the anthem, for the
public dislikes being told what il
ought to feel. Reverence for the an

from him irrespective of whether o.
not he believes it to be perfect as 9

CHRIST, THE JUST

E. F. S.
Men carve the sins of others into
stone,
But Christ, the Just,
STOPPED calmly down, and wrote them
in the dust.
There under foot be trod, yea, sport
for every wind;
Swept from the sight and blotted
the mind.
Then out of sight within the tomb
He babe them lie,
And sorrowed much, for none escaped
the all-seeing eye.
But though our sins in stone be
carved,
Or written in the dust
IT'S all the same, for Jesus Christ,
the Just,
Upon the cross bought sure release,
And bids US sin no more, and 60 in
peace.
For underneath the Lambs shed
blood they lie,
Hidden at last from Gods all-seeing
eye.

"The tendency to junk the Chris

today is anti Christian and anti
American" Mr.. Tetley said. "God
established and sanctifed it in the
time of creation. He stamped it with
divine authority when it was placed

THE BIBLE SHOULD Be READ IN ALL SCHOOLS
By LUCY C. WALKER

It is appalling to note that the
Word of God has been so neglected
in our institutions of learning the
past decade. Some school boards
have protested against the use of
reading of the Bible to the pupils in
morning exercises or otherwise.
They claim that it is sectarian, that
the children are of different denomi-
nations and that some would have
their feelings hurt should the Bible
be read in the opening exercises.
But this is not the case.
When I attended school nearly all
of the pupils, whether Jew or Gentle,
Catholic or Protestant, Methodist,
Baptist, Episcopalion or what not,
looked forward to the teachers read
ing Psalm or some portion from
the Bible each morning, followed by
the recitation Of the Lords Prayer.
We, as school chrfdren, felt that the
day had not begun right if we did
not have such preliminaries before
we took up our lessons. remember
one teacher taught US that it was
very irreverent to begin a days work
without first acknowledging Gods
work.
Yet in spite of the good influence
of the Bible, much has been written
and spoken against the reading of it
in the public schools. And why
should the people of our nation, the
foundation of which was laid by our
fathers in the fear of God ever
bring forth such an issue? Of course
the Bible should be read in the
school-public, private and parochial.
How can we expect our boys and
girls to be true citizens without the
knowledge of this indispensable
Book? Daniel Webster has said, eff
we abide by the principles taught in
the Bible, our country will go on to
prosper; but if we and our posterity
neglect its instructions and authority,
no man can tell how sudden a catas-
trophe may overwhelm US and bury
all our glory in profound obscurity."
It is the only book that touches all
the points of humanity, and which
answers every question in regard to
man. 1t is history of his fall and
redemption.
The young pupils and older ones,
too, need the Bible for literary cul-
ture. It is literature of power. It
is a school book in itself and an edu-
Gator. The New York Evening Post
says, ut is impossible to over-esti-
mate the Importance of the Bible as
promotive influence in English lit
erature. Coleridge remarked that,
"From this storehouse of literary ma
terials our leading writer's have most
freely drawn" In 81 of Shakes
peare's plays there is an allusion to
the Bible. John Ruskin's mother re-
quested him to memorize certain
chapters of the Bible, and he counted
it the best part of his education.
In taking away the Bible from
our school children we are depriving
them Of the best thing that is in the
possession of our country. Where
did our code of morals come from if
not from Holy Writ? We forget the
principles that our country was
founded upon. We forget the Pilgrim

Listen to the Elaboration of the
Dawn,
Look to the Day.
For it is Life, the very life Of Life.
In its brief course lie all the Verites
And Realities of your Existence,
The bliss of Truth, the glory Of Ac-
ton,
The splendor of Beauty,
For Yesterday is but q dream
And Tomorrow is only vision.
But Today,
Well lived, makes every Yesteday
A dream of happiness
And every Tomorrow a vision Of
Hope.
Look we'll, therefore to the Day.
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn.

Fathers; we have lost sight of the
martyr, the saint who died for its
principles. It is unfair to our chill
dren to take away the Book of
Truth, for the Bible is the very foun-
dation of our civilization. Compare
our country to countries that have
lost sight of the Bible, or to some
that have never had it in a great
measure and see wherein is the lack.
1t is sad to see how little of the
Bible college students know today. l
have read of late an account of a pro-
fessor who gave an examination to
one hundred students. There were
nine questions and out of ninety-six
papers only eight were correct.
These students did not know what
the Pentateuch is, the name of one of
the Judges, one of the Beatitudes, or
where the Book of Jude is. Our citi-
zens should not consider themselves
educated unless they can answer
these simple questions, which should
be taught right along with other
school work. Tolstoy says that
without the Bible the education of
the child in the present state of So
ciety is impossible"
Many children do not 60 to Sun
day school or church. Many have I'M
godly parents, many have not read
any part of the Bible and perhaps
the beginning of their moral train
ing should be in the public school.
Think of a Christian land prohibit
ing the reading of thhe Bible to its
school children who are to become
the citizens of our great nation to-
morrow! No doubt, Roman Cath
olics have been the cause Of such an
issue. Some of them have declared
that the Lords Prayer and singing
of hymns should be suppressed. No
wonder so many Catholic countries
fail to make progress. Read history
and notice the inertness of countries
ruled by Catholicism, which comes
from the neglect Of reading the
Bible.
Parents, teachers, scholars and
citizens, We must not neglect to read
the Bible to our children. We should
not in our attempt to train their
bodies and minds, neglect to train
them spiritually. Theodore Parker
says, "The Bible. blesses US when we
are born; gives names to half of
Christendom; rejoices with us; has
sympathy for our mourning; tempers
our grief to finer issues. It lifts man
above himself; he does not
fear to stand alone" When in
trouble or distress or perplexity read
a portion of the Bible; and children
have perplexities, too, do not forget.
The Bible should be read in the
schools. Such portions as "Honor
thy father and mother" Remember
thy Creator in the days of thy
youth" keep thy tongue from evil
the Beatitudes, the Ten Command
ments and Proverbs are the pillars
and ground of truth in the moral life
of the child. Be wise, parents, teach
ers, school boards; let US have the
Bible, which is the beginning and end
ing of right living both for you and
your children, and your children's
children. Women, let US vote for it.
