The Bible In
A SEEMING PARADOS but true: that if the King James Bible were
not classed as a reKgioBS book the ethical literary and imaginative funda-
mentals of hnman education would be more fitly served yet if the Bible
had not been classed and were not .now classed as a religious book it would not
have the vogue it now has. For the King James Bible is the most widely circu-
lated book in the world and not as a literary masterpiece bat as a theological
textbook. At intervals more or less frequent the questions of reading the Bible
in the public schools and of teaching morals and ethics in the public schools
come up and much dust fiies and smoke rises and much mud is cast and much
soot nutters down. And when tte discussions are once again quieted men and
women feel greater bitterness and suspicion toward one another than before and
neither the cause of civil freedom nor the cause of religion nor the cause of peace
among mankind is promoted by all the disturbance. Nobody is convinced nobody
satisfied all hold to the tenets of their faith or to their cherished prejudices if they
have no faith and the world piles up its loss. .
For loss it is: the lessened acquaintance of the mass of the people with the
Bible is tragic. Men fight to keep the book away from children as if the book
were a plague bearer. The pity the pity. Such blindness that will not see. For
it is a pity that men will permit their theological prejudices to bar the young
from intimate acquaintance with the greatest literature in the world. From
hatmg each other religionists induce the young to hate the Bible. The children are
not to have access to this greatest Wonder Book except through the Church or
in event their parents know the book and open its marvels to their children in
the home.
So go millions their long lives through ignorant suspicious unmoved by the
poetry the power the living beauty of the Bible.
We thank the God ef tittle children that this book was opened to us in child-
hood and youth that its beauties became so interwoven with the fabric of slowly
a co aired knowledge that there could be no raveling that its literary power was
never depreciated and thrust aside to make way for strained doctrine that its
poetry was read aloud as poetry to stimulate and feed the sense of imagery that
inheres in all children.
Lacking a sense of humor and a lively imagination one might as well be a
clod. Lacking the power of vigorous expression one's power to serve mankind
is so far diminished one's opportunities for development so far restricted. What
is education? It is not a cramming in but a drawing out not packing a trunk
but teaching to see truly to judge wisely and to serve usefully. The bookworm
is not educated the plainsman is. The recluse is not educated the craftsman is.
The religionist may or may not be educated: he certainly is not if he regard the
Bible merely as a textbook of theology and not as a Wonder Book of Human Life.
In religion as in all things else we decline to be bound by precedent precept
or outside authority though consenting to be influenced intellectnally by all those
to the extent that conscience logic sentiment science experience and inner con-
viction allow. Each n is the sole guardian of his own soul and he alone must
answer. In the last accounting it will not do to say He directed me so to do
and so I did; he thought for me and I followed him as his disciple. No every
Tnjm his own judge his own prisoner his own prosecutor and defender his own
damnation his own salvation. Each must find his own way and if he walk
straight therein in humility in faith in nncerstanding in good conscience "as God
gives us to see the right" then life is free for him and death hath no terrors.
Religion without justice is a fraud. Justice without religion many think impos-
sible. But religion is not theology it is not sectarianism it is not oppression it is
not intolerance. A man may perhaps be moral a man may perhaps be guided
by high ethical principles and yet not claim to be religious. But certainly the
three morals ethics religion are closely related if not interdependent and no
man is quite a man without all three in his makeup.
It is not necessary however to teach religion or theology in the public schools.
It is necessary most emphatically necessary to teach morals and ethics in the
public schools. One of the great mistakes made by churchmen and laymen in dis-
cussing the Bible reading question is in confusing moral and ethical teaching with
theological and religious teaching. Mere knowledge of theology does not make a
man religious. Here knowledge of the law does not make a man moral or just.
Is every lawyer moral and just? Is every religionist moral and just? The test is
in the life sot is the reciting of formulas. And whether school children be taught
moral and ethical precepts or not they certainly are not educated unless they bs
so directed along the way in their tender years that they find the greater peace
the greater gain in being moral and just.
In late years we have heard much of the word "pragmatic" or practical search
after happiness according to the Kantian philosophy as applied to religion and to
the moral and ethical codes of humankind; The word is comparatively new in this
sense: the idea is almost if not quite as old as the human race. Broadly speaking
the end of man is the perpetuation of his kind upon the earth and the betterment
of conditions of living for the masses. Han can have no higher aim than this.
It is "enlightened selfishness" what is good for my fellow human is good for me
what is evil to him is evil for me. Serve humbly do justly love mercy and the
reward is within you. Give and it shall be added nnto you. Not as a motive
mind you but as a logical effect. Hen judge acts and are incapable of judging
motives. Judgment of motives must be left to a higher power. "As a man
thinketh so is he" a truth that brings the best of men up standing at crises in
their lives. It is not always the coward that withholds his hand it is not always
the brave man that strikes.
What kind of religion is that which bars the Bible from the children
for fear it may or its false interpretations may lead them astray? In
one breath it is said "Truth is mighty" and
shew herself to these little ones." What is
bock the greatest book. Nature is painted

it is the textbook in one part or another of some 200 different church denominations

Is there no selection of passages from the Bible upon which all who live upon
this earth can agree? Are we forever doomed to war over this book? Pity the
children that grow up in ignorance of it for it is breath and food and drink to them

A New Short Serial Story
By VIRGINIA TEHUl'SC VAX DE WATER.
Author of "The Two Sisters." etc
CHAPTER XIIL
LOOKING around her dinner table
at the company assembled tn-ire
Mrs. Hale told herself that after
all the affair was provl-ig a success.
The men were clever ?nd ortlliant; the
girls attractive and merry.
The dear soul had bad siany sinkings
of heart over the comoimitiun ot cir-
cumstances that had ne(.enaitaufi lun

ings to be with his liiucee on this oc
casion. hMlitn s motner never ouubted
'join's sincerity nor his intention io be
present tonigut- She haa pardoned
liaiths swut resentment lor sne was
sure that it was only the moon ot the
moment.
Constance in telling her aunt of the
decision with regaru to the non-announcement
of tne engagement this
evening had not Intimated that the
girl was angry with Tom. The motner
assured herself that her child's vexation
had been only of a moment's duration.
Had not she herself. Martha Hale
sometimes been out of patience with
her own dear John.' She hated to re-
member that she had ever been so un-
reasonable but she could not deny the
truth.
"So Edith would rather wait to an-
nounce her betrothal until Tom can bo
with herr Jars. Hale had askea her
niece.
And Constance had replied "Yes
aunt. She and I think it would be bet-
ter unless you object."
"Of course I don t object" "Mrs. Hale
had assured her. "Indeed. I think it is
a very natural preference on the dear
child's part. I am sorry for her disap-
pointment but it will all come out right
In the end."
The expected guests had arrived on
time the table was beautiful the floral
decorations arranged by Constance's
deft fingers very effective and all was
going otf happily. Edward Dayton the
man who was taking Tom Morton's
place at Mrs. Hale's right hand was a
pleasant young fellow who wss glad to
have been selected as a substitute for
the missing guest So agreeable did he
make himself that the hostess forgot to
be sorry for Edith. When at last she
looked down the table at her. her
daughter's appearance allayed any
doubts that might have arisen In the
mother's mind.
No other girl present was as pretty
as Edith. She had never looked love-
lier than she did tonight the proud
parent observed. Ralph was evidently
making himself very amusing and
Edith was laughing even more than
usual at his Jokes and stones. Her
cheeks were flushed her eyes almost
unnaturally bright. She had apparent-
ly recovered entirely from her disap-
pointment. Opposite Edith sat Constance talking
to the man next to her in such r way
as to entertain him. yet her aunt knew
that her ever watchful eyes would be
sure to detect any lack of attention on
the part of the servants and that she
would tactfully and quietly rectify it
What a comfort the child was in the
house! And again the hostess sigbed
with satisfaction.
It was at this Juncture that there
befell one of those strange and unac-
countable pauses in the conversation
one of the pauses which we all have no-
ticed even In a room full of people.

when there comes such sudden lull an
angel is passing by. Constance Med-
ford was about to mention this tradi-
tion to her companion when a man
sea3d farther down the table asked as
if to fill in the awkward pause:
"By the way. Where's Tom Morton to-
night? I rather -expected to see him
here for" with a irlance at Ralnh
! "you two Mortons 5renerallv hunt in
couples don't you?"
! It was a thousrhtless sneech and
might have passed unnoticed had Edith
Hale not flushed hotly and started to
speak. Ralph attempted to conceal her
embarrassment by replying quickly:
"Yes Tom's missing all this fun be-
cause of an overstrained sense of duty.
He's been called out of town on busi-
ness." "Too bad!"" said someone then the
talk became general once more and
Constance breathed more freely. Was
it only fancy that made her think that
several of the guests looked with some
curiosity at Edith? Could the rumor
of her engagement possibly have gotten
abroad?
The glances had not escaped Edith's
consciousness and it was with a ner-
vous manner that she turned to Ralph
when her guests were once more
launched upon the stream of animated
conversation about the latest popular
Play.
"It was kind and like you to an-
swer so quickly Just now" she said la
a low tone her eyes downcast. "For a
moment I was at a loss as to what to
say. But you did Just the right thing."
"I spoke only the truth." he re-
joined lightly. "Could I do less?"
The girl looked at him swiftly and
searchingly. "You mean you spoke a
part of what seems to be the truth." she
corrected him.
"My dear girl!" he ejaculated chang-
ing color slightly. "What do you mean?
What are you hinting at?"
"I'm not hinting at anything." she
replied. "I am merely saying that you
know that there Is a reason for Tom's
absence a reason which you have not
told me."
"Are you sore he has not told your
he asked hurriedly almost suspicious-
ly watching her anxiously.
"Of course he hasn't" she replied.
"I fancy it is to his Interest not to. and
yon know it is yet are trying to pro-
tect him."
There was a long silence while Ralph
set his wits to work. This girl doubted
Tom: she believed that there was some
other matter than business that was
keeping him away; possibly that there
was some woman who was detaining
him. Of course there wss but need
she know that the woman was no
friend of Tom's?
As he reviewed the events of the past
few days a great temptation faced tbls
man. He was not in the habit of fight-
ing temptations vigorously. All his
life when he had got Into scrapes
there had been some one to get him
out of them as Tom was doing now.
And whenever Ralph Morton had
wanted anything he usually got it. He
wanted this girl: he had loved her for
years although Tom had never suspect-
ed this. How easy it would be now to
tell her agptn what he bad as good as
told her ojen before that he loved
her!

THE very first thing that Fluff did
when she was safe In her little
home la Tabbyland with. Betty
the dolt girl was to do- the washing.

Betty nearby.

the ivy vine from the little girl who
owned them and was unkind to them
they were very dirty. ATI Tabbyland

anxious that Betty should make a good
impression.
Like all the kitty girls and boys.
Fluff hated water but she gladly got
out the wash tub and went to work.
"Before we can go any place" said
Fluff -we must be clean. I will wash
all of your clothes. Betty because you
know that you must not put your
hands In water."
"Willi it do the same thing to my
hands that the rain did to my facer

should get entirely wet your arms and
legs might come off and" but Betty
did not hear the rest She rolled over
on her stomach aad threw her arms
over her head so that she could not
hear. The fear of her life was losing
ay arm or a leg. and she knew the fate
or some dollies who lost their hair
completely.
"It Is a good thing I have had a
chance to warn her thought Fluff.
"2ow I can feel sate in going out of
the room for a little while. Then she
said out loud. -I am going out for
Just a few minutes. Betty dear and I
know that I need not tell sensible
person like you to keep away from

meant the water In the tub. of course

hurting Bettys f-elmga

perfectly happy. She knew that Fluff
would never scold very hard no matter
what she did and it was so pleasant to

continually stop talking for fear the
human beings would hear. She sang
and danced around the room in the
sunshine and slid on the slick floor and
peeked m boxes and bureau drawers.
