EIU CATION AND RELIGION iSHOULD I'ltOH 1 lil I BILLBOAKDS j
I ......
i
The question has been asked us I
whether a man who has no education
and no religion is worth more' than
a beast. We can not answer the ques
tion, hut suppose the answer would
res't"on' the definition of the two
words "education and religion." *
flf a man has not enough religion i
give him some inspiration for the
higher life and drifts along as the
beasts, with no other idea than to eat '
end drink and be merry and tomorrow i
die, then perhaps his religion does himj
' little good.
Education has so many variations
that it can hardly be described. It j
does not mean knowledge of letters!
end figures only. It means a knowl-1
edge of things and how to handle them j
for some good and useful purpose.
If a person has. only enough o-tu
cution to feed himself, he is hardly
"""educated, because the insects, fowls,
and animals have sufficient knowlrd," j
to take care of themselves. . Kduca ►
tion must then call for a knowledge 1
to he. able to du.sumctliiug for others
for tomorrow. The fields and cities |
are the products of education. Edu
cated people clothe themselves and
have homes. Totally uneducated puo
pie—savages—have no clothes and
live in the forests just as the animuliy
do. ' " ' ~ J
We can not answer the question
further than to say we are sure it is
better to have both education and re-,
ligion (Christianity).

"Not a very elegent title!" you say.
No, indeed, and not a very elegant
Viabit, you will agree. Not a very
elegant thing to do,'this spjtting. In
fact a very disgusting species of
license.
f You do not indulge In it? So much
j the better then, hut do you allow your
friends, your father, your brother,
your husband, or your son to do it?
iSO-O-O-O? You do not spread dis
ease yourself yo'u are not jcuilty of an
offense against decency and yet you
permit your associates to do and be
so without voicing a protest. Then
YOU too mitrht be considered respon
sible in a small measure for epidemics,
for suffering and for death.
I knew a 1 ttle boy once, —a lad of
| about nine ytarsr. Jle was bedridden,
had been so for over a year when I
! first saw him. Pitiful little chap—
! Alex! Had tuberculoma of the bones
and the knee joint was larger than a
| football", by a tcood deal. The particles
i of bone were coming through the flesh •
| which was also diseased. The odor !
j was so offensive that no one but the >
; doctor and the good nurses, the father,
and the mother would visit 'his hos
! pital room. One day, with his face
I quivering, he turned his appealing
; eyes to mine and said, "I wish the
| other children would conic in and
! play with me. Not even the little
| Jesus would- come to see me, I guess."

do yoy know? Pneumonia, influenza,

the other infections —how are they

Little children are the ones who are
most frequently endangered because
of their great susceptibility. Doctors
and nurses are all the time seeing just
such suffering as Alex went through.
