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-

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
