1t is difficult to imagine anything
more nonsensical than the recent suit
Of the American Atheists Association
to restrain the appointment Of chap
1ains in the u s. Army and Navy.
The grounds Of the complaint were that
such appointment Of sky pilots" to
preach and pray to buck privates"
and "gobs," is a violation of the spirit
and the letter of the Constitution. This
is plain tommyrot. The next thing
these fellows will be trying to take
I'm God We Trust" off Of our money
What difference does it make if the
army and the navy do have few
chaplains, commissioned officers at
good salaries with nothing to do but
hang behind the lines in time Of war
but lead in the attack-on Satan-in
times of peace? If the atheists are
right that there is no God and that
prayer is an old superstition, what are
they afraid Of? | don't see a thing for
anyone to worry over. There has been
more praying in our own south in the
last hundred years than anywhere else
in the world and not thing has come
Of it. That section has harbored and
fattened more slick-pants evangelists
than any other section; made more
converts and baptized more repentant
sinners than any other part of the
earth and yet the religion that have
read Of in the New Testament, hasn't
ghost of show against the mob and
the Klan. If the Christian religion is
pernicious, as the atheists seem to
think, they have nothing to be peeved
over. 1t is practiced by almost no one
1t interferes with no capitalists profits,
no preachers amours with the women
of his congregation or with any poll
tician stealing an election if the in
clination and the desire be present
Then why worry about the prayers
and the lamentations of few preach
ers in the army and navy?

papers published in this state.
''The dedication and the laying OF
the cornerstone were impressive, pre-
senting a striking scene to the throng,
which began to arrive at the grounds
shortly before noon and remained until
late in the day. Colored Masons and
their wives to the number of 900 came
to Rock Island on a special train yes
terday morning from Chicago. A large
delegation also made the trip from
Peoria and there were many from
other cities, including Rockford,
Bloomington, Joliet. Springfield and
cities and towns Of lesser population.
"The days activities began with a
formal inspection Of the home in the
morning, and at noon the speaking
program, which took up the greater
part Of the afternoon, got under way.
Mayor Chester G. Thompson Of Rock
Island and John G. Ellis, Decatur,
most worshipful master Of Prince Hall
grand lodge of Illinois, were the main
speakers. The program ended with
the laying of the cornerstone and
benediction.
"A temporary speakers platform had
been erected on the grounds adjoining
the home at the east, and near the
platform were seated the state officers
of Prince Hall Masonic lodge and also
the Order of the Eastern Star. All
wore the insignia and emblems of the
Masonic lodge and silk hats added to
the attractiveness of their appearance.
"The program opened with the sing
ing Of my Country IT'S of Thee" by
the big crowd, and after this, invoca-

began, "a bright, blue-eyed boy called
Lindbergh gained undying fame by

Those Silly Atheists


The whole position Of those who call
themselves atheists is foolish and I'M
critical. It is certainly no more il
logical to affirm the existence of God
than it is to deny His existence
Neither position is subject to proof
and check such as one can do with ar
experiment in analytical chemistry AS
matter Of fact, all the evidence that
exists is in favor of the believers. The
atheist who dogmatically proclaims
that there is no God is no more intel
ligent than the preacher who not only
says that there is God but who
claims to know just what He think:
and what He wants everyone else tc
do and think.
