Tale Told
i'm Church
Is Harmful
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON


A short-sighted Sunday school
teacher told her class of 12-year-
old girls that the armistice was
signed and the allies gained great
victory because several days prior
to the event all the Christian
churches of America held a great
day of prayer
Three of the girls were discussing
this statement during the same
afternoon. AS usual, when grown
up eaveSdrops on youngsters, we got
an earful
We'll" said the most thoughtful
of the group. III bet plenty of folks
were praying all along for the war
to stop. I know that Uncle Tim
was killed and Aunt Rebecca told
me how hard she and Grandma
prayed every day. I think He's a
queer God if He would let so many
men be killed just because every
body didn't pray together"
Harm Done by Teacher
Here is an instance of the terrible
harm that can be done by an unin-
telligent Sunday school teacher. The
minds of these children contained
a tumble of contradictions. No
doubt they wondered whether con-
certed prayer always would prove
so efficacious
Perhaps they meditated upon the
stupidity of world that would de-
lay its prayers for so long. It may
be that there also lurked the idea
that 1t was bit odd for Christian
nations to be engaged in such con-
f1ict, in the first place.
Old religious methods are no
longer possible with modern chill
dren. The imperative thing is to
put out of our religious thinking
the Old Testament concept of God.
Ever since I went to Sunday
school and pondered the ungodly
ways of Israels god, I have womb
cred why we teach the Old Tesla
ment in our Sunday schools. 1t has
beautiful lessons to be learned. but
4UO IC11SAOll dlllIOSb OAl CCOiy w
posed to that taught by Jesus
Christ.
Need New Picture
Our generation was stuffed with
these tales of the vindictive Jeho-
yah of the Israelites. And surely
one reason wars have been waged
SO relentlessly is because each ma
ton has worshipped. perhaps I'M
consciously, its own tribal deity, al
though all have called him by the
same name.
If we could instill into our chill
dren the true vision of a God who
fathers all peoples, then the pic
ture Of several nationalities fight
ing one another and each praying
for victory, it would strike them
as so incongruous that they no
longer would dare to call upon the
name of God in time of war.
It's a wonder they have any reli-
gion at all, considering the un-
Christian behavior Of men and
women.

And this time the ticket clerk did raise his eyebrows
a little.
Barily. "We go Dutch"
The ticket clerk frowned slightly. Was it legal to
refuse to issue a ticket unless the passenger named the
station? For a moment Brown trembled. Then the bless
ed little piece of p~asteboard appeared, and he breathed
again.
He took the ticket with the feeling that as a man he
had failed, but as a sleuth hound he had succeeded. Then
he looked at the price on the ticket.
Nine dollars twenty-five cents, came the voice OF the
ticket clerk. !.
Brown knew it. He was gulping. "Byford Moor
meant nothing to him, but nine dollars and twenty-five
cents meant a great deal. 1t meant Mondays work, and
Tuesdays work, and Wednesdays work, and a bit of
Thursdays work. And, to get back again, would mean
mine dollars twenty-five cents" repeated the ticket
clerk, sharply. "And you'll miss your train II you don {

Seventy-five cents came back to him. Someone showed

and might mean the difference between a beautiful girls
life and her extinction. He heard himself asking a porter
for the platform for Byford Moor.
"No. g." replied the porter, happening to know.
"Change at Newcastle"
He was really a very bright porter.
Brown ran on. He was logged by a terrible fear that
he would board the train without knowing definitely that
the attractive girl and the small men were also on it. Ii
only he could find the girl, cause her to miss it while the
small man caught it, and then get his money back! But
Fate had got him too firmly by the scruff OF the neck Tor
that.
Fate gave him a square deal, however. 1t provided a
glimpse of the girl walking up the platform, and of the
small man following her at a respectable distance. When
the girl stepped into a third-class compartment, and the
man wandered up to the same compartment an dentered
it a few seconds later, Brown realized taht although he
might be embarking on a hazardous errand, it would not
