which the law of God entitled
them-and did so with a
firm reliance on the prOtec-
ton of Divine Providence.
One of the first concerns
of those same American ia
theirs was that no law should
ever be enacted respecting
an establishment of religion.
Does anyone suppose these
considerations would have
occurred to or been cOnsid-
cred important by a group of
men without Biblical instruc-
ton and inspiration?
Throughout his life, Wash
ingtOn was guided by a copy
book precept he had read as
a school boy, which admon-
ished him to:
"LQbour- to Keep alipe4 in
your breast that little
spark of celestial fire
conscience"
Could anything less than
appreciation for and belief in
the Bible have made that adj
monition seem important?
"The God Who gdue as
t1e, gdDe us liberty at the
same time" said Jefferson.
Would that thought have
occurred to a man without
profound knowledge of and
deep faith i'm the Bible?
The sponsors of the first
annual Bible Week i'm Amer
lea have said the observance
will lead us once more into
the fields of thought trOdden

RIGHT.
Our American fathers were
God-fearing, Bib ] e-reading
men of great religious con-
viction, and because of that
they created and gave to us
a country with high spiritual
standards and without preju-
dice and intolerance.
So it well behoOves us to
READ the Bible, which they
made so inseparable from
and indispensable to our way
of life.
