The Bible in the Pnblic Schools.
. , Editor Fort Mill Times:
Of mora than passing interest to
. me?as I ana sure it would have been
to many other of The Time?' readers
had they seen it?was the published
f synopsis of a sermon delivered-in one
* of the Washington city churches a few
CH days ago by a leading clergyman !
f-1 | of that city, the Rev. Dr. E. C. |
W * J , Granger. The subject of the sermon
I was, "No Room for Christ," and in it j
j Dr* Granger developed effectively the
j thought that the public schools of the j
#' land are not doing the work they could j
- - i and would do if the Bible were used ift |
them as a text book. The education
the youth of the land is receiving is
t practically pagan instead of Christian, j
' in the opinion of Dr. Granger, and "we
need an open Bible as we need nothing
else."
I do not intend to try to polht out to
i anyone his duty, even as I see it, but
if 1 wre a member qt the South Caro- 1
( Una Legislature the session of that j
(body to convene next Tuesday would
not be forty-eight hours old before I
had ir reduced a bill providing for the i
reading of the Bible daily in every pub- ;
lie school and other State-aided educa- j
tional institution in South Carolina. I ;
would use every legitimate means to ,
press '.he bill to favorable consideration |
and give the representatives of the '
people an opportunity to line up on the 1
side of Christiunfty or paganism. I
have read everything 1 could 1'ty my :
hands on from those who are opposed I
to the use of the Bible in the public I
schools and not one substantial argil- 1
ment that 1 have seen has been urged
, against the proposition. The stock in
trade of those who object to the Bib e
in the public schools is the fear that .
the practice would mean sectarianism !
and that this is a land of religious liberty
in which no man has the right to
force bis religious convictions upon another.
There isn't the least likelihood
that in one case in a th lusa.id thest hool
teacher would misuse the opportunity
Ill imn Hiving religious IDHirUClIUIl TO
impress nib pupils with the dccrines of
the particular church lu which he belonged.
I would be willing to trust the
average of our school teachers not to
do that which was not expected of him.
But what of it if a little sectarianism |
cropped out now and then in the
schools? Whv should I as a Lutheran,
let us say, object to my child being
taught the Bible from the view point
of the Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian
church? The differences in the
doctrines of these Protestant churches
are too non-essential to allow them to
interfere with a plain duty we owe our
children?the inculcation of religious
principles while they are at an impressionable
age. The people who object
most strenuously to t ne use of the
?; Bible in the public schools 011 the score
of "religious liberty" are in too big a
minority to consider their wishes one
way or the other.

Attention, Woodmen!
White Oak Camp, W. 0. W.
will have its annual banquet Friday
night, Jan. 9th. Each member
who attends will be given
two tickets by presenting his
receipt No. 279 to Mr. D. A.
Lee, chairman of' committee.
This receipt is not trrnst'erable
and in no case will tickets be
given to anyone except the
member whose name appears on ,
the receipt. The camp was com
pelled to adopt this plan because !
a lot of members who did not j
think enough of their camp to
attend the banquet, gave .their
tickets to a lot of boys who did
not know how to behave, and ,
made it unpleasant for the members
who were present.?Adv.
Mr. A. C. Lytle, a well known ;
young man of Fort Mill, has accepted
a position as salesman at i
the new Perks drug store. j
L FOR STOMACH TROUBLE
? . i
John W. Ski lien of Sidney, Ohio,
Has Found a Remedy. | \
Bxperts declare that the reason
tomach disorders are so common in ,
this country Is due to hasty and care- j ,
less habits of eating. Stomach
trembles and run-down conditions
usually go together.
John W. Sklllen of Sidney, Ohio, i j
nays: "I had a bad stomach trouble
for years, and became so weak that
I could hardly walk or do any work. ]
My appetite was poor, and It seemed
Impossible to get any relief. Since <
taking 'Vlnol' I find a remarkable lm- !
prorement In my health, my digestion ! 1
Is much stronger, and 1 hare gained ;
In weight I would not be without
4 Vlnol"
Vlnol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the woakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vlnol
Is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, end It delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the us
derstandlng that your money will be
returned If it doea not help you.
P. 8.?Stop scratohlng, our Saxo
Salve atop* Itching. We guarantee It
