MORAL INTE.YT OF OUR COMMON

(J. D. Gillllan, D. D.) .
An unseen genius has ever had In
hand the welfare of the peopto. Shake
apeare expressed it when he Bald:
"There's a divinity that Bhapes our
.' ends, '
Itough-hew thorn how we will,' '
and Patrick Henry also said the same
' thing when he cried out in forcefulness
Cf despair: "There is a just God that
presides over the destinies ol nations''
Such is the expression of the univer
sal and often silent faith of the mass
es. Instinctively, but sometimes un
reasonlngly but not unreasonably, the
earth-fellows who are our joint pro
tectors, plan with that blessed sub
conscious effect so everywhere evident
for our safety.

I The state haa ever revered the work
of the altruistic church. It has given
It wondrous license. It is Bometlmes
'asked by the neophyte in reasoning,
I "Why Is ' there Immunity given the
i church In the matter of taxation?
'Why should It be exempt?" Hear the
answer: The state is doing a bar
! gain counter business with the4 church
'and under our republican form of gov
'ernmont Is s religious as it can or
dare be. The state knows that the
church Is .the most effective police
ngent In the world. It knows that
' there Is no institution that makes for j
the heart of good citizenship so radl-,
cally and effectively and constantly
j as the church. It knows that from
I her nulnlt every week there are ut-,
; tared words that go for the reforming
of the bad, the keeping of the good
j in the right way, and the creation of
tint sentiment that makes men love (
the right, the lawful, the patriotic, and
' hate all things opposed thereto.
To that end the undenominational ,
fnot unreligious) state has provided
for the moral and the religious care (
and. training of its people and assists
In paying the coBt therefor. There are

tribute, by not taking, for the support
of the institution, the church (the only
one engaged in producing fundamental
and radical reforms), we support thlB
agency for the good it does and can,
. Any reasoning person sees the di-1
rect moral Import of this governmen-1
tal action: It means that the citizen
is logically expected to patronize the
church; lie 1b expected by , the very
genius of our laws to be found In, the
place the state assists thus In .main
taining for its own strengthening,, tne
house of God on the Sabbath, the day
also recognized as an institution for i
the bettering of the populace. It Is
therefore not In the provincial right
of the citizen to Ignore these provi
sions so graciously made; he cannot
say on the Sabbath morning: "I think
I will not go to church today, I will
take my gun, or my rod and hie me
to the hills or the stream; or a will
do as I please on this day." The state
without a line on Its statute books ex
pects its citizenry to be fouud wor
shipping and hearing God's word
which ever mnkeB for a better .and ,a
higher citizenship.
Thus the church Is the best police
man In the community and the state
recognizes It.' The church Is the di
vine expression through human law of
the subconscious protection given by
law for the religious training of the
public, art absolute Bine qua non In re
publican or other sort of government.
Therefore, Mr. Citizen, you- cannot
be as eood patriotically as you ought
unless you patronize the ' place of.
gatherings for the fundamental politi
cal good. The church is thus seen to
be a public, not a private creation;
and every citizen has a right as well
as a duty within these walls.;.
