The Rev Dr McKim of the commit

and thinks that such a blazoning would
make us an upright people Would it it
Does he e forget how v very ry fragmentary fra imentary
and Inadequate the Decalogue is and how
fantastic and andchimerical chimerical is the Sermon
on the Mount
The Thccommandments commandments would teach the
pupil that every e rySaturday Saturday must be bea a
day of worship arid that he must not
Carve carve any an image but what would they
teach him concerning some som sOme of their

Not Peculiar to Bible
Undoubtedly the teaching of some some of
the moral lessons of the New Testa ¬

they are wholesome they are not pe ¬

Is good in the New Testamtnt is old
Indeed very old Almost everything eveDthingnew new

Savage Codes as Complete
Savages in a pathless wilderness have
a code of morals at least as complete
as the Decalogue the Peruvians under
the Incas had an elaborate ethical ethical sys ¬
tern the Assyrians had a code of qf morals
under which they prospered highly
long before Eve conversed with the
snake or Cain went down to the land ol
Nod and took him a wife in the Egyp ¬
tian Book of the Dead In the Congres ¬
sional Library is a moral code far bet ¬
ter than that of the Bible that was wa
written 3000 years before Moses was
found In the bulrushes and may still
be read in hundreds of original manu ¬
1 scripts three times as old as those ol o
the Old Testament
The morality morallt of the Old Testament is I
about the worst ever bequeathed to tin th
children of men It Is so rank in spots
that It would cause a moral earthquak

Mr Lynch Favors It It
M 11A A L Lynch r 3nch foreman In the
gun factory who has two sons
there and two others at school one
Gonzaga College and one at a
school thoroughly favored the idea
having some kind of religious
as part of the school curriculum pro
vided however that every care be l
to avoid the slightest danger of secta
rianism Mr Lynch said
Anyone who is thrown In contact
I lam am daily with hundreds of men of va
rious riousages ages cannot c nnot fail to realize ho
deep d ep and lasting are the t11 benefits deri
from frpfu proper pro x xer er moral moral teaching and relig re reiig l g
ious train training ing early in youth
My own observation has shown
that thatourYOullg our young men make grievous er
rors in life because of the lack of
teaching at home and the absence
some religious influence If the
at present advocated is to be a success
however it would seem to call for h
utmost liberality mutual co
and wisdom in dealing d aUng with the
question so as to avoid the thesllght
suspicion of denominational denomlnatl lIal preferences
It would seem to me that the lea ieadin in
clergymen of all denominations >
be able to agree upon a form of In n
struetion which could not possibly fui
to do good and could not offend th
sensibilities of either Jew or Gentile
Catholic or Protestant Hard Shell
Baptist or Seventh Da Day AdventhJt
h hI I think all rightminded people
agree as to the benefit to be
from exciting in the youthful mind
reverence for religion without regard t
denomination and an aspiration towarc
a clean upright life Such influences ar <
exerted for Instance by the workers
the Salvation Army who at their
corner meetings turn the attention o
many persons toward their spiritual wel ¬
fare But the problem pr bh1fi is certainly crtalnl on
of the most delicate to adjust and It
settlement will require the rarest of wIs

perils of placing compulsory religion
training In the hands of public schoc

reason that just there lies th thJ J danger
sectarianism secta rio nism
I can imagine such a case as this
the boy bo or girl who has failed to meas
ure up to the religious or moral stan
dard dar prescribed by b the teacher might b
compelled to remain after school
commit to memory so many verses o
chapters of the Scriptures as a punish

might be Inflicted The child would in
evitably form an aversion to the vcr

So far I have never permitted an
one outside of my immediate Immedla te family t t

press upon the fact that one hour o
