i Ctinfimtal from first pagr. msnion with what you bcliovo to bo divine. In tho school house is no place for tho teaching of religion. It docs a scholar no good. It don't tench him tho multiplication table, nor how to read, to write, to talk. Jtadtls no practical value In his education. The fact that thoro is an all-wise being who looks from sea to sea and from nadir to zenith, in watchful vigilance to see that our uvcr act is recorded, has noth ing to do with tho rules of business prosperity. Tho fact that we arc pre destined to sufl'cr, or rejoico after death, according to the doctrines ex tant, docs not add one cent to tho amount of our income. Schools gov- i i i r i ill... crncu oy u set oi rungiuiiisis uru iiku Bhips manned by factory girls. They are nut guidid by bauds strong enough to steer them clear of the reefs and rocks that lurk on the shores of Timo. The common schools of to-day are gradually drifting toward the higher and latter day plans. This is tho lat ter half of the nineteenth century, and the evolutions in tho religious world are bringing out facts, irrevocable, that are scalding tho old scales from the fides of this religious animal two thou sand yearn of age. Thi good peoplo of Union aro talk ing of rtcting a tchool to bo governed and in.iintaincd by a religious society wIiomi eonfehsion of faith contaiiib tho following words: 1. "By t bo decree of God, for the muiiif('.'tatioii of His glory, some men and hi me angels aro predestinated to overlatting life, and others aro foreor daineibio everlasting death." 2. "TIiom! angels and men, thus pre destinated and foreordained aro par ticularly and unchangeably designed, and their number is so certain and do Unite that it cannot bo either increased or diiniimhed." How much good would it do a com mon plodding plow-boy, who needed the henelit of a tchool, and who hap pened to 1)0 nearer to this talked of school than to any other, and who had the hard coin to spend for an educa tion to know this unreasonable con fession and some simple anthems, not containing half the religious beauty or poi'tii: -.'race as many simpler son nets be had warbled hour after hour behind bis team. Would it do him any good to know that one half of tho men ,ind angols in the world were K'lit to l'a nidi ho and that Hades got the other half? If the chuieh sees in the election of this school a chance for a mo igro addition to its number, it is Ibis fact that actuated the erec tion, and not for tho common good of tho people. Half tho church members in tho world owe their belief to that old, old sentiment, "T boliovo it, for my mother told mo so." If you could look into tho depths of ovory man's mind and read thero the creed of bis private faith, it would be, "Mother said to," Therefore religion is a house hold all'.iir. Every man's conscioneo is his deity. l.eavo your schools un scathed by tho warps and cramps of a religious doctrine, and you will bring nearer to your threshold the funda mental (hemes of a higher and inoro diyino teaching than Chris tianity can oiler. Loavo tho golden fruit of learninu: uut'oyorod by tho ngt-, ted iilmgo of mytll auu superstition. ItoligiotiH discipline has no more busi ness in a school room than a man has with wings, and a snout liko an olo pbant. Tho timo is fast dawning on tho world whou boys and girls can go to n college and learn tho arts and sciences of mankind, without finding themselves in tho midst of hymns and testaments. This idea of founding sotninaries for tho purpose of adding convorts to a certain creed and church, is a relic of times long gone and past. It is well to build a tchool house, but let it bo freo and at liberty to teach tho principles that lead to a better and more u-eful education than the little dogmas of religion, heavo woinhip to tho family altar. Found a creed of your own, and if your conscioneo says it is right, anil you act rightly toward your fellow men, it will surely please tho (Jod of your belief. If an infidel or a moslein comes to you in want it is tin grandest creed in tho world to feed him and let him boliovo his hon est belief. Tho honest man is tho charitablo man. Generosity is belter than prayer. Take to your homes the trutho you find and make a creed-out of them. J.ot tho school houso bo tho nursery of tho statesnmn. Tho truest worship in tho wido world is where tho family gather in private and do hom age to their own deitv, while the wild and busy world is wtrging around you. Tho seminaries Unit aro gov'eincd by certain creeds aro dead weights on the tdiips of state. They pay no passage, do no K ""I- ' N P 11 t,lllt could b put to a more bouelieent mo. Long may tho grand old Hag of free dom w.tvo; butMown with tho sectari an school, flivo us something prac ticalsomething that will lift tho hu man family to grander deeds and no bler thoughts. II. W.
