' We would like to see a bjillot, "No taxes, no sc hools,* against , "Taxes and schools." The American people answered "No tax, no school," 11* in the-early |>art of the last century, \oW ; we see things differently. Sup i m >m' a citizen today did vote "No tav„ no schools," what would be said of him? It is doubtful if one person in a thousand would cast such a bal lot certainly not in the o|>en where h'jlsonalile 'people Could see them. Wliiic the great questions of public education does not please everybody -because it is like everything else, it ! is not run just as everybody would have it yet few are so blind that (hey would abolish it. • ' •! • ' !i)V)rnin; on the great subject, ' Sin t rom the Layman's \ irw|>oint," we | are faced with many jioints that are, as we had \ iTrSt—rrf^all^the subject matter ! strikes at the clergy. He states that I "Evangelical or theological sin is por ' t rayed by the clergy as being the following or satisfying of certain de | s ; res, which conduct is forbidden by God." The professor is rigbt, if he had only paused here, because God has (admonished men through every age ! to abstain from certain things, even I though (hey do appeal to men's pas- I sions. The patriarchs, the priests, the kings, (lie judges, the prophets, Jesus Chrfct, and the apostles have laugh*, jn every age the need to ab stain from evil. For that reason is not the preacher of today justified in j admonishing men to look away from ihei. own plans and follow the com- L.andi ui I. d a:id in ih.- pathway of | ihe Savior? I The professor goes • lirther and says, "These desires are both natural and superficial." We think these two words, "natural" and "superficial," should Im" watched with care. Does ft mean that we are to follow our nat ural inclinations? Then, where will i we go? Is not that one of the trou bles now with all of us? i'reachers i and laymen, too, are trying out their own natural' inclinations. Why should not the clergy admonish us? Again we find the pro lessor say 'lng, "The adage that w* are tbe worst enemies to ourselves applies aptly to organizations and institu tions." Hie church, must be or ganization and institution referred to. Of course, the people of' the church may not be honoring it properly, but - i .-nui t)ie trouble- because—they-jaiT to follow and stray away from its f teachings rather than a weakness in :tie principles of the church and the | truth for which it stands? The statement, "Such unnatural and humanly instituted bairiers and j standards have literally driven men; Kin the church,' i- surprising. What uliufrh.does he mean? Who built the church; who prescribed the: things il tcachfs? Mien how is it | i narrow, or how is it untrue; and why | i- it driving men fnmi. it? Have they something better; are they will ing tn trust their own science fur both i this world and the world WPytsme? j The church is not' narrow; it! ! Stands for truth, justice, love, mercy, | THE ENTERPRISE ! and every principle that elevates and » I satisfies the souk of men. It goes ' further; it reeognizes the wonders of . the heaven* and the earth and its . grandeur and greatness. It recognizes j every prindptf. that science has yet j discovered and leaches that man will ( nrver fathom all the wondefs and J mysteries that-God has placed in his | \ 1 reach and for his, use, and which he j 1 > permits his inquiring and unfolding!, : mind to discover as the family of , i! mrn actually needs them. The God . -1 that created the church, and its build , er. ( hrist, makes scientists and recog , ni/.-s their god works. The trouble : with the scientists when he is driven j - away from the church because of its: s narrowness, is only because he feels' i j thai he has outgrown his Maker and i steps out on his own platform, "j "Acceplano of the church's j f teachings is out of the question * • •" j | Some "have resigned themselves and ' live in the knowledge that the world ' i here is not such a bad place * * ■* j 5 and by the hope that .the hereafter' L. eihter a better place or nothing." s The professor fortunately began to come to himself when he reviewed ' the big question, for he says, "Liv-| ' ing this life L- governed by universal 1 laws which exact penalties upon their , transgressions no less assuredly than ] ( ' they give joy in their fulfillment. So ! sin, from the layman's viewpoint, is , ' real and has to be reckoned with i whenever nature's laws are disobey- i ed." Here he is right. No man can j become so highly educated that he j can know more truth than all those j who have gone on before him, the God that ma«li him, nor the church ( j that was established to enlighten and j J ttaVe men and nations. | .
