We. were" amused and pleaswl t a sermon delivered in Port land recently, mid, by" the way, Portland has some mighty bright ministers of the gospel. This sermon was on the subject of recla mation, and the speitke;' devoted a considerable portion of his talk to the review of reclaiming lands for settlement. He stated ! with 'much fact that the first step for humanity is to provide homes, land to till and proper surroundings. . Citing the vork of the state and the federal government to this end, lie proved his point most admirably, and then he went into the saga' brush of sin and disease and immorality, offering plans for 'the reclaiming of human beings who are wandering list lessly through arid regions where the fountain of religion is not reaching them. How strange it is that so ninny ministers want to make man-made laws to govern everything, and we do not mean this to apply to the particular sermon mentioned, for it docs not apply. When sagebrush and greasewood grow up among the younger people; when the curfew fails to send them home at u proper hour; when the dances are not conducted properly, the first thing we hear is "There ought to be a law " Iiless your heart, don't you know there are from one to ten laws for every kind of crime, for every social blemish, for everything even to spitting on the sidewalk. Laws we are pestered to' death with laws which are unworkable. The sage brush and greasewood plains of humanity have laws idly hang ing on every knoll; have laws festooned around the worst pitfalls. You say, why not enforce them? Again humanity is de manding more of humanity than ean be done. Only a few basic laws are ever enforced and apparently only a few can be en forced. With despair the hands go up and we hear: "If this be true, what shall we do?" .The answer is simple: Teach the child in the home the dif ference between right and wrong. Don't expect the school teach er or the preacher or the Sunday school teacher to do the work forypu. Let theJtlorrtVbe the place of beginning, where con science is" recognized, where the slippery paths are discussed, where the dance evil is laid bare, where the late hours are condemned. It is the American home that hits slipped and not the chil dren, for Uie tree will grow as the twig is bent. Too much indulgence, lack of discipline, general hick of supervision, and, above all else, no inclination to make children work. That is why so much reclaiming has to be done. The par ents of the present day have let their fields grow up in rag weed, sage brush, greasewood. They have permitted their chil dren to talk" back to them, to stay out late at night, to attend the shimmy dances, to break the curfew laws, and now that such permission has borne its fruit they hold up their hands and join a lot of preachers in saying, "if we only had a law" It in not. the law we need. It is common sense the old Mu,(ie(l iiliul,; and th.e,n there would .be little need for the re liiiiriiirig process"' 'which' the eminent minister1 speaks of. uy JTJ.MCS Wiilcli I'm tirnw A rhyme llhe thin Ain't really ail.
