SHOULD SEEK TRUTH AND
JUSTICE

To the Editor:
Bible reading in the schools Is de-
cidely a Protestant movement, as
am sure we will all agree, but some
times j think We, as Protestants, in
our enthusiasm to gain a point do
not consider why q thing should be
done, or the ultimate result, but en-
dorse a movement for the sole reason
that it is Protestant and therefore
can't be wrong. We do not search
diligently enough for the truth or
justice.
In reading and hearing the discus
sion concerning Bible reading in the
schools. I have not found one legiti-
mate reason why this should be done
or the results expected.
II it is for the purpose Of educat-
ing the Protestant children In the
knowledge Of the Bible, it seems to me
it is plain Sinking of home and church
responsibilities to the already over
burdened teachers Of our schools.
If it is for the purpose Of educat-
ing the Jews and Catholics to a
knowledge of the King James version,
are we not trying to force on them
something they do not want, thereby
robbing them of the right to free re.
ligioNs thought and study?
II compulsory reading Of the Bible
is right in the schools, it it not right
also to have compulsory reading Of
the Bible in the homes?
l know several strong advocates OF
this movement who do not head the
Bible in the home at all or even force
their children to attend Sunday school,
where they may hear it read.
| Again l would like to ask, Is the
Bible to be read consecutively or Sc
lected parts of it?
If we begin with the Old Testament
and read consecutively we find things
that are not proper for c-iidren to
hear about and that would make a
| teacher blush to read aloud. Is 1t
right to force her to do this?
On the other hand, il We do not read
it consecutively we have disconnected
history and fail in our educational
purpose altogether. II we take Sc
lected parts Of the New Testament for
reading, is there not great danger of
missing the great truths and giving
the child the wrong meaning entirely ?
Compulsory Bible reading will not
make true Christians any no,e ,nan
compulsory obedience makes an obedi-
ent heart, so what is our object after
all?
Salvation is a gift and fee to all
who accept it.
The Christian mothers may read the
beautiful teachings Of Christ, his
death and resurrection, and the simple
plan of salvation. leaving out the
things the childish mind cannot I'M
derstand, and as the child grows older
she may read the New Testament con-
secutively and later the Old Tests-
ment to teach the creation, the history
Of the Jews and all the wonderful
things revealed in it.
IL this is done in the home IL will
not be necessary to have compulsory
Bible reading in the schools and is
il not n reflection on our Christian
endeavor as Protestants that we can
not take care of the reading of Gods
word but have shifted the>responsibili-
ty to others?
How many Protestant mothers who
so strongly advocated compulsory
Bible reading in the schools, are read
ing Gods Holy Book daily to their
own children?

You still can get your pork and

Though it is scarce, there still Is

You still can find q boarding house,
And from their stew. can pull a

There still are girls who try to sing,
And boys who know most every thing
There still are folks Eho have pink

The same old joke, that never dies;
They still grow apples on the trees,
And you get stung by honey bees;

But there's one thing that L detest,
And it's that same old-fashioned pest !;
That fellow with the cats iron dome.
Who always has nobody home;
1t is the bird whom you've heard

About him being made a slave;
Who thinks something is owed TO

To satisfy his every whim;
But let one thing in his ears ring,
The old world owes him not a thing.
