Religion la Lift
to—on for lime 28, 1988
u'-pHE TEST of a nation's pro-
' feased religion waa then and
is now: Does it work out into the
nation's whole life?" That last sen-
tence from last week's column will
be our starting point for this one.
The fact is, that sentence raises a
great many quesUons. flow does
religion work out into the life of."
a nation? Just, one side of that,
single queston will be enough for
this week's short discussion.
Tlra Ancitnt Style is not for Us
The story of the high priest
Jehoiada and the
young king Joash
is a story of how
religion worked
out into public
We invite a closer look...

'ELECTRIC RATES LOW
You 4teiV ksve'to be a real "old-timer" to
recall the daya«wheo electric power wa» gen-
crated by a •mall atcam engine. E»ery timr the

through networks at tranimittlon lino.
The 6rat tranamiaaion line in Texaa .,. from
Waco to Waaahachie and to Dallat and Fort
Worth . . . wit constructed by TPStL in 1913.
That line provided many communities along
the way their fcrat electru aervice. Year by year
the Company hat grown and now serves HtflOO
customers from fotfic 20,000 miles of line.
Through these yesirs the Company has.carried
on a program of reaearch and development
relative «o the vatioua pbstea at its business.
At a result, TP&L's customers have always
enjoyed depclKtable electric atfvict at low oust.
For example, since 19)6, the cost of living has
gone up 108% while the average unit cost of
TP*L residential electricity haa gone douniilb.

time. But of
course we can't
follow Jehoiada's
line, for obvious
reasons. For one
thing, he was an Foreman
uncle (by marriage) of the boy
king, whose parents had been mur-
dered when he was a baby. Little
Joash has been brought up in
the Temple itself, in secret, and
we can be sure that the High Priest
had had much to say to his nephew.
Now we can't pick some future
President of the U. S. A. In his In-
fancy and take him off (sa.y) to a1
Bishop's hoihe, or rather the
Bishop's cathedral, and bring him
up there—even if'his uncle were a
bishop, which isn't likely. Further-
more, High Priest Jehoida was not
only an in-law of royalty. He was
head of, the official state religion.
Most Anjericans do not want a
state religion, we fell it is better
(for all its drawbacks) to have a
religiously free nation. So if' we
are going to make religion a force
in national affairs we shall have
to do something different from
what Jehoiada did.
Two Misfakts
But we have the same problem
Jehoiada had: How'can we get re-
ligion into public life? The point
ia, he used the opportunity he had.
' And so may we, if we use any con-
secrated ingenuity. To make the
problem simpler, let us limit it to
this question: How can organized
religion, that is to say the church,
make itself felt in the public (.that
Is, the official) life of the nation?
Two opposite mistakes have been
made. One is to throw the weight
of <he church into the political
arena, as a voting and fighting
unit, so that the church becomes
either In name or in effect a polit-
ical party. This has happened more
than once in European politics.
The short verdict must be that it
does neither the church nor pol-
itics any good. The opposite mis-
take is made by some of those who
Bee well enough what is wrong
with the church's becoming a
"clerical party" or anything of the
sort. Shying away from that blun-
der, some have stumbled into
another: namely withdrawing the
church entirely from political life,
so much so that no minister and
no church body ever raise a voice
regarding any political issue, or
any issue which politicians and
lawmakers haVe to deal with. The
verdict on this also is short and
straight: A bad solution. Political
life and leaders, left to themselves,
assume that religion has nothing
to say about public Interests; and
the church becomes morally deaf
and blind-
What ths Churob Can Do
Between these two futile mis-
takes there are some actual pos-
sible ways of making Christian In-
fluence felt by those who stand in
places of power, great ojr small.
(1) Churches can make public
statements In their conventions or
assemblies, about matters of na-
tional or International concern.
Examples of this would be such
statement made by the National
the south on the race question,
bringing popular race prejudice to
the light of God's Word and finding
it a sin. Another example Is a
statements aa have been made In
Council of Churches criticizing the
government's foreign policy at cer-
tain points. This Is not politics: It
is the church seeing moral issues
and saying what they are. C2)
Churches can make an effort to win
public men to Christian , living.
(3) The church can encourage
young Christians to prepare them-
selves fyr public
tlan duty.

PROGRESSIVE
EDUCATION
In 1936, a group introduced Into
the American education system a
new technique called "Progressive
Education." Under this system the
old basis of required courses were
eliminated and the student aelected
his own courses.
He substituted manual training
for a science, chemistry, or physics
.... he even took domestic science
rather than algebra . .". he could
elect a course in drawing, music, or
gym in the place of English, La tin,
or political science. Neglected waa
the course which builds a better
citizen . . . .the curae to give him
patriotism, an understanding of
heritage—history.
The result . . college failures,
but a large number of all-hmnd
good fellows. Tojday we are get-
ing back to the old-fashioned fund-
amentals of education In most of
our public schools, but we must
strive 'to speed up the procei
Eduction should be solely to edu-
cate.
True, we are molding our future
citizens and they must learn to
get along with their fellowmen,
but they must also know how to
use their minds. The responsibility
of molding character la the pri-
mary duty of the home. The relig-
ious education of the child,
usually in his church. . .Is the third
medium to round out the finished
adult.
If we fall to teach our children,
to make their own decisions, to de-
velop their God-given talents, and
to think for themselves, we will
creating a nation of followers.
Eventually some other nation will
force Its will upon us, leading us
into soclalsm, communism, fascism,
or the current ism.
A child in grade or high school
Is too young to develop his mind
and will usually take the easy
road, the course thpt is more phy-
sical. than mental. It 1s up to our
educators to Insure that each child
reaches the maximum of his po-
tential.—Beeville Bee-Picayune.

Said 'the doctor: "Of course,

Said the engineer: "That's noth-
