Indeed the citi- zen who has a library of his own at home, is the most likely to dis- cover the need of other books not to be found In his book case. But 'the voice of a library of good books is more than the music of the forest. it is a chorus of thoughts rather than of sounds, vibrating in the souls of men. gen- eration after generation.

The‘ law admits Darwin. admits scient- ists of every day. and admits all facts except the supreme (act that religion is the fundamental influ~ ence in all movements of mankind. The schools teach the life of Lin~ coln of Washington, of the great American characters, but are for- bidden to teach of Jesus Christ or the Bible. The purpose of this I‘ suppose. is to avoid factional feelings and strife among the va- rious sects. . The position is not a neutral one. but an avoidance of a supreme subject.” The attempt to separate the public school entirely from the religious atmosphere and definite religious teaching has been some times pushed to an extreme. But I know of no state or county where the extreme has been long maintained- The recoil is sure to. come, and it comes Because men find that In respect of faith. ‘ culture and morals the extreme of separation is mast disastrous. In respect to morals; it is clear that there Is an immense loss when the religious sanction is completely withdrawn from the teaching of social .duty And in respect of culture it is equally manifest that Ia nervous and narrow determina- ;tion to banish all references to Christianity and its positive be- liefs, the Bible and its historic place, from the text-books and the clasSerooms of our "schools creates a situation as absurd as it is shameful. and as pathetic as it is absurd- -William Douglas Mc- Kenzie.
