The aid of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations has been elic-
tied in the agitation that is now going
on in the Province of British Column
bia to procure introduction OF the
teaching of the Bible in the public
schools. Mr.. Landsberg, of Victoria,
has been in correspondence with Mr..
Charles Schohl, president of the
Union in which he asks for informa-
ton which would help the Jews of
Canada to fight this matter. A reso-
luton was passed ct a recent conven-
tion Of trustees of the public school in
the province urging the inclusion of
Bible teaching in the curriculum.
Material furnished by the Union en-
abled M. Landsberg TO convince the
minister Of education of the province
rs we'll rs members of the Provinciai
legislature, who have this matter in.
which would make Bible reading in
the schools compulsory. One OF the
trustees of the public school, Chris
tian Sivertz, has already introduced q
resolution attacking Bible reading in
the schools on the ground that this
would be contrary to the provision of
the school act, that the school shall
be non-sectarian. This resolution will
come up for discussion at later
meeting. Mr.. Landsberg's letter TO
Mr.. Shohl telling of this accomplish-
ment follows:
"Yorrs of the 18th inst. to hand.
Beg to thank you heartily for the two
pamphlets which Rabbi George Zepin
sent me recently. On receipt of same
took this question up with the local
trustees and am very pleased to state
that one fthc trustees has given
notice of motion to come up at the
next meeting that our public schools
be kept strictly non-sectarian.
"I, also, went over and saw Mr..
Maci.ean, minister of education FOR
the province of British Columbia; l
had long conversation with him on
the subject and left him the two pam
phlets and made date to see him
again this afternoon. | might state
that the Provincial Legislature is now
in session and ne let the session and
came into his private Office to see me
and he gavc>me his assurance and al
most mis- word of honor that US long as
the educational department is in his
hands the public schools in the prov
ince will be strictly non-sectarian. /
can assure you, sir, am very happy
indeed TO advise ycu of the success
have met with so far.
81 have asked Mr.. Zepin to send me
some more literature on the subject so
that may take this matter up in diff
ferent parts of the province and the
press"

 Congregation Today

Bishop Wilbur S. Thirkield, resident bishop of the Chattanooga area of the Methodist Episcopal church, will preach at Simpson Methodist Episcopal church, Seventh avenue and Twenty-fifth street, north, Sunday morning at Il o'clock.
 Bishop Thirkield came to the Chatta- nooga area at the recent general con- ference held at Springfield, Mass, succeeding Bishop F. M. Bristol, who retired. At this meeting the Alabama 7 conference was transferred from the Atlanta area, over which Bishop B. c.

 While here the bishop will meet with the district superintendents and other officials of the church.

 Meyer before and I think never since has such group of men met in this world as that group that framed our Constitution. These men had become familiar with the practical working of free self government during l60 years of colonial life. They were not the, orists but men of practical life and ex- perienee. And yet some of us think of the Constitution as e cold legal docu- ment. On the other hana it is warm and it is living, for these men worked with knowledge of the character of a material with which government has to deal, that is to aay, human nature with it's multitudes of feelings and impulses and passions end weaknesses.
 But that ia not all. These men did net walk alone on that spring morning into that Philadelphia convention. There walked in with them the thou sands upon thousands of shadowy nameless persons who had through the centuries wexked toward liberty and order. There were those struggling figures who through the years of labor and agony and sacrifice had been work ing cut the priceless practical pfin- ciples of Angl0-Saxon liberty.
 And So the fathers of our CoRstitu- tion embodied in that instrument the spirit of the magma ehaFta and the petition of rights and the bill of rights and the habeas corpus act, of all that made the people of England great and an adoption of those great principles to American life through the practical working of 150 years of American gov- eRnment.

 World Was Ready. Nineteen hundred and twenty-fouI years ago the Roman empire was mis. tress of the whole civilized world. Its domain stretched from the Rhine and the Danube, on the north, across the Mediterranean Sea to the Sahara Des. ert on the south, and from the Valley of the Euphrates on the East to the Atlantic Ocean on the West.
 The population of that vast state which girdled the Mediterranean, in cluding France and England, was made l up of the most diverse peoples and races. Egyptians, Arabs, Jews, Greeks Italians, Gauls, Britains, and Span iards-an alike were under the sov. ereign rule of the proud old seven hilled city on the Fiber. This one great state embraced the | rowing shepherds, who pitched their l the mountaineers in the fastneSses oi Wales and the citizens of Athens, Al I exandria and Rome. Whether one lived in York or Jerusalem, Memphis or Vienna, he paid his taxes into the same treasury; he was tried by the same law; and looked to the same ar mics. for protection.

 Politically, the world was at peace Three times during the reign of Angus. tus, the gates of the temple of Janus at Rome, which were open in time of war and closed in time of peace, were shut. Only twice before in the 760 years of the city's existence had they been closed, so constantly had Rome been at war.
 But religiously, the world was chaos
 A New GOspel Rome had sent her legions and her eagles into every section of the land where people lived, had conquered them and had caused them to pass under the yoke. All were made subjects. Some were made slaves. Still others were brought back to grace and triumphial marches along the Appian Way. Peo- pie from three conquered continents brought their own superstitions and their own gods with them to Rome.
 On every hill and under every green tree, altars were erected and idols were set up; clouds of incense wrote upon the sky the acknowledged worship of Polytheism. Rivers of sacrificial blood marked the rites and ceremonies of the worship of animals and stone and wood.
 Temples of the Egyptian Isis and Osiris were built on the seven hills of Rome. Altars were set up to the Per, sian Mazda on the east side of every elevated spot to catch the first rays oi the morning sun. These were worship. ped as god.

 Our Constitution has brought into being new sun. It is the Sun of in- dividual freedom and as long as there are Americans God willing, it shall never sink into the sea of Forgotten Destinies.
 Yet we must be yigilant and we must be earnest--but we will be, and we will preserve for generations to come and for the peace and blessing of our chil- dren and ehildren's children, that liberty and order which is our uncon- conquerable Constitution, uneonquers able because it is built within the hearts of men.
