Credits for Bible Study Advocated "Self-Appointed Bible Wreckers Seek to Obstruct Teaching of Holy Writ," Declares Speaker (An Address Delivered by a Prominent Hoosier Klansman .at Wlnamao July 4.)

Just now there is a general spiritual unrest among the churches of all denominations, due to a divergence of opinions on many subjects, principal among which is the doctrines of .the fundamentalists against the teaching of the evolutionists, .and the question of whether or not it is proper to teach the Bible in the public schools, or at least that it should be read as a part of the periodic program. We shall not discuss the former of these subjects because they involve an entirely different phase of this spiritual unrest, are more academic, and do not reach the social economics in such a vital manner as the subject of reading the Bible in the public schools. It will be unnecessary for US j iHters of the Gospel, go ask the to state that We believe in not teachers and the business men, and onlv reading the Bible in the ; :,sk ,ho others and the mothers, public schools, but that it ,U "11,t"1ITu V'f il is bo" 1111 . j. ,i !"is: a working knowledge of God rhould becomo a part of the as been left out or our plans of eduI regular curriculum and credits ; cation and business.

The I'nderljinc Spirit Before we proceed further along this line, let us look to the underlying spirit, which first actuated the pilgrims to cast away from the parent country and seek a land where religious freedom could be exercised without interference by imrtnri'.il mlift nl TI'IIimI nrnufri til irn When the harbineer of Christianity had whispered the first message of i the Man of Galilee to their ears, they! began to read from that treasured Volume the story of life, and they taught their children from the same Book. They immediately began to 6fc that the tenets of religion as re- j corded in the Bible meant life, and i tll'jt llffi tvialnt rr,T.rtl. n n .1 n i nit. jilt nicain luniu, ciuu CAliail' elon, mentally, morally and socially. It meant shaking out the old order of things and bringing into existence an active and aggressive as well as Intelligent religion; and that its intelligence could be no greater than lAw knowledge of the Bible from which the tenets of its moral and spiritual teachings were derived. It would naturally follow that those who were imbued with this knowl edge would seek to get away from any power .r influence that, would i

tend to hamper their activity, or The curriculums in the public circumscribe the freedom of their schools reouire the pupils to read religious intellectual growth.

The Present Dilemma This brings us to our present dilemma of unrest and soclalisticatavIsm, fomented by those whoso chief Claim to greatness is that they have not concerned themselves with the simi ln expedient of catching step with progress; but have in some lianner or degree maintained allegiance to their inherited or adopted, as the case may be, dogmas of the old nomadic shepherd tribesmen They have not added to their tribal codes the records of advancing civilization, rich in the experiences of time and fraught with spiritual intelligence. Therefore, we now stand face to face with the political, social, moral and spiritual economics of our time fcnd country. From cast to west, and from north to south1 the whisper is heard that "something is wrong." It comes from every walk of life, and corns to gather volume in its lengthening course; and from every whisper of discontent, a question is implied that asks the reason, rind both the statement, and question demand an answer, to ask the editors of the great newspapers and magazines, 0 ask the statesmen and the min-

Many or our social usages and public entertainments have a narked tendency to destroy our American moral standards and replace them with weak and insipid banalities copied from the moral codes of the saraglos of the orientals. In this connection it can well be said that there is no tragedy so appalling as

i-'.n.it: ui a uuman soul In ruins, and no crime to equal that of tearing tho hum.m mnu f v. llUUl JL spiritual moorings, and setting it adrift on a sea of doubt. Let the young people of our country be denied a working knowledge of the Bible and tho application of its teachings to everyday life, and a long step toward this condition has been made. Fairness to Future Citizenship We seem to forget that it takes but one generation to relegate the traditions of a nation to the limbo of oblivion, and that a reputation that ft llas taken a lifetime to build, can De mined in an hour. We seem to forKet that when the boys and girls have . reached the school that they "re then well on life's highway and at some place near the road forks, ne branch leads on straight nhonri tO RUPC'ICQ Q n ,1 I.

Our attitude toward the Bible has been such that the young people have been led to think that we have tabooed it. We must do snmcthinir to correct this iinniessinn Knowledge of its contents? For ai gument's sake, let us assume tho the Bible is not the word of God, or the work of His inspired men of wisdom; then, it would still im j ( lassie on the theology of a people I who from almost the dawn of civili- . zation in the TiT-mit u 1- - t . vi.v.

There is a contention that the daily reading of the Bible in the public schools will Jiave a tendency to cheapen it in the minds of the pupils, in order to prove the truth or this assertion, a questionnaire has been sent out by the Bible in the I iiblic Schools Association, covering this question; seeking information from tho states and communities where the Bible has been read in the schools for years. All the replies, without exception, say that such is not the case; but, on the contrary, that the daily reading of the Bible has a marked tendency to create a spirit of reverence among the pupils. Uililc Credits Chen There are many places in Texas where Bible classes are orranised and daily readings are had. Especially is this true among the churches where teachers are furnished to Instruct the boys and girls in the knowledge of the Scripture at daily or weekly meeting. Also soma of the Texas school districts give credits on Bible study; but the continuity of this practice is uncertain because the school trustees are subject to change at any time, and their successors stop the practice alto-

gether. An unsatisfactory condition attendant upon the local control of this class of study is that it leaves the matter an open question and makes it possible for the community to become involved in a religious controversy and sometimes in the courts of law. A case of this character 'occurred in 1S08 at Corsicana, Texas, and is reported in the 109th

south Western Reporter, page 115, styled Church versus Bullock. In the decision in this1 case the court said: "In fact, Christianity is so interwoven with the web and woof of state government, that to sustain the contention that the constitution prohibits the reading of the Bible, offering prayers or singing songs of religious character in any public building of the government would hn a condition bordering upon moral an. urcny, Decause such objectors do not desire their own children shall be participants therein would be t6 starve the moral and spiritual natures of the many out of deference to the few." This was a case where five citizens of Corsicana sought to restrain Ihe school superintendent from having daily Bible readings in their public schools. Judge Ben F. Looney, formerly attorney-general Tor the state of Texas and now associate justice of the court of civil appeals, recently wrote a very able article in support of the movement to have the Bible read in the public schools of Texas. He said in part: "While we oppose the union of church and state, we are very much in favor of religion in the state as it now. exists in all of its departments, except in the public schools. In fact, religion, Christian religion, is a part of the common law of this nation, as had been held by a number of our supreme courts." He said further: "It is, therefore, perfectly apparent that neither the churches, the Sunday schools, nor Christian homes are reaching more than 45 per cent'of the child life of this nation. How are they to be reached We all agree that they must be reached, or our civilization is seriously threatened. If anyone can stiggest a better plan to reach them than through the public school system, we are perfectly willing to abandon our contention. But in view of the fact that the state has taken over the education of the young as a governmental function, and rightly so, we insist that education should be given in the fullest sense of the term. No education is complete without the development of the moral nature, as this is the seat of character, and determines whether or not the citizen shall measure up to oux high ideals. Bible Reading Endorsed Henry Ford, the greatest industrialist of all time, has seen the advantage of intelligent religious citizenship and is striving to uplift and develop it in every way known to science and finds it good business to do SO. In a rprent iT,to-.;. -ui.i appeared in the April issue of Good riousoKeeping he endorsed the reading of the Bible in the public school movement. In his endorsement he said, "TheBible is not being given to our children; childhood is the time to learn to love it and imbibe its teaching. It ought to be put back in the schools. Our children should be taught real, practical, every-day religion a sense of justice and good conduct. And the way to do this is to put the Bibje where it belongs. I am interested in getting the Bible back into the public schools, because of what my hearing the Bible read in school did for me." Hon. William Jennings Bryan is giving his time and talent to calling Ihe people back to the paths of our fathers. His lecture on "Back to the Bible" is an able presentation of the : subject, and none seem bold enough to meet him in debate on the subject. They stand and carp at him but tear to meet him in the open Tn tlli f not. , - .in, j-mi-cuiijcj , issue of Ihe Good Housekeeping magazine appeared a very able article by William G. Shepherd, in which he tlie position that he fears for the noys and girls of our country who do not. hear and who do not krfow what God's book teaches. The Literary Digest recently gave this article an extensive review which is well worth the time renuired of oven the opponents of daily Bible readings in the schools to examine. Gene Stratton Porter, in the May issue of McCall's Magazine, writes a forceful and interesting story on the subject of "A Word About the Bible," in which she shows the influence that the Bible has had on mankind since almost the dawn of history. A Short-Lived Victory An effort was made in 1923 to drive the Bible out of the public schools of California. The lower courts sustained those who contended that the King James Version was a sectarian book, and as such could not be bought for the school libraries with state money. This "was doomed to be a short-lived victory for the opponents of the Bible; for the supreme court of the state has just recently handed down a decision that the King James version of the Bible is neither a sectarian nor a denominational book. Recently the legislative halls of the state of Kentucky have been the scene of a furious battle between those members who oppose the reading of the Bible and those who realize the value of its teaching- in tmii,i ing character and citizenship. When the final vote was taken, it showed in the Senate 31 to 1. ami in thn House 77 to 11 in favor of the Rash iV xjl in iavui ul luc xvasn in, which was me measure supporting the Bible, and which placed Kentucky in company with thirty-six Other Stn(e nf thr, Amnnlr.n,, that places the Bible in one form or i anniner m their schools, colleges and universities. And yet jthey tell us that the Bible must not 1p maH the public schools. An Intelligent 'Understanding The bill that the Texas Bibie Association seek3 to have placed on

THE FIERY CROSS

The Marriage of a NonCatholic to a Catholic The following is reprinted from the Questions and Answers column of The New Age, official organ of the supreme council of thirty-third degree Scottish Rite: Question: I am muclr confused concerning the attitude of the Roman Catholic church to marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic. Roman Catholics thoniRplvos seem tn be uncertain, some saying that it is! permuted, others that it is forbidden, or at least discouraged; others say that, according to Roman teaching, marriage outside the church is invalid. Wljat are the facts? Answer: Fortunately we need be in no doubt or dilemma concerning the attitude of the Roman Catholic church on this subject. Many official statements are available clearly setting forth the position of the church. In May, 1923, Bishop John J. Swint, of Wheeling, W. Va., sent out a pastoral letter that was read in every church of the diocese, from which the following paragraphs are taken. The letter states: "No one can deny, and no priest is blind to the fact that one of the greatest evils of the church in this country, if not the very greatest, has been mixed marriaees. We felt, that radical measures must be taken to awaken our Deonle tn a sense, of tbnt !evil, arid, if possible, to check it. Iiet uainoncs Dear in mind that the church looks upon such marriages as a great evil even when a proper dispensation has been gotten, and all the necessary conditions have been complied with and she grants the dispensation only with the greatest reluctance and to prevent still greater evils. "We ordain, therefore, that henceforth, before a dispensation for , a mixed marriage be asked for, the non-Catholic party shall have taken at least six instructions, of reasonable duration, in the Catholic religion. "As it is rather with tears than with gladness that the church witnesses mixed marriages, she forbids all ceremony or display in connection with them. The marriages, therefore, must be performed in the parish rectory or in the sacristy, and not private homes or public places. "Catholics, whether they marry Catholics or non-Catholics, can be married only by a duly-authorized priest, Those who attempt marriage out of the church (before a Protestant minister or a justice of the peace) must understand that such attempted marriage is in the eyes of the church, and, therefore, also before God, null and void, and the parties thus legally married are living in sin. When such marriages have been attempted, before the marriage can be rectified, whetner the scandal was local or not, the Catholic party must agree to have the pastor read from the altar the following act of reparation: I, , having, in defiance of the laws of the Catholic church, gone before a Protestant minister (or justice of the peace) to be married, and thereby given great scandal, do publicly acknowledge my fault and hereby authorize the Rev. to read this, my declaration before the congregation in St. church, on Sunday, , 19 "I humbly beg forgiveness of God for my sins and pardon of all the faithful, whom I have scandalized." the statute books and which will be presented to the next session of the Texas legislature, is for the daily reading of the Bible in all the public schools. - The reading ami it ia -fnr L rpriflinCT rtrlr in 1.

The bill does not seek to teach any doctrine, nor to impose the reading of any special version of the Bible. It does not attempt to , force any child of any faith to subscribe to any specific doctrine. It carries out the spirit of Americanism, which says that "each man shall be permitted to worship God after the dictates of his own heart," but it does ask for the children of those parents who believe in God, in the teachings of Jesus Christ, and in the Bible, to nave an opportunity to hear the reading of the divine Scriptures. It asks nothing that it does not grant. It seeks opportunity for those who believe to worship and forces none io unwillingly do so. It seeks to create a more wholesome understanding and respect for God, a better, a more intelligent understanding among and between all classes and conditions of our citizenship and establish a deeper and a finer love and reverence ior our nation, our flag, .our God and our homes forever.

EARLY INDIAN DAYS

ARE RECALLED AFTER A HALF CENTURY Pioneer Days ' in- Oklahoma Were Trying Ones for Pioneers; Many Bitter Fights Town Is Xamed for Man Who Met Death While Bushing Supplies to Whites HENNESSEY, Okla., July 7. Fifty years ago this summer Oklahoma was the battleground of a long-drawn-out Indian campaign, which finally ended in a decisive battle at Anadarko, August 22, 1874, when the rebellious tribes of the southwest were convinced of the white government's firm intentions. An incident and a hero of this campaign were responsible for the location and name of this small city. During the campaign it devolved on the agent at Wichita, Kan., to keep the lines of communication open and see that supplies reached the frontier camps and forts of the southwest with promptness and reg ularity. Bands Prey on Settlers The Indians had turned the campaign into a series of thieving, marauding, horse stealing escapades, in which the young warriors from almost every tribe on the plains were looKing ror tne best horses from settlers, hunters, soldiers, or even the more peaceable of their own color. Messengers from thV lower country had urged the agent at Wichita to rush supplies through at all hazards, as the people below were suffering for food and other commodities. But the task was extremely hazardous and there seemed to be no one who was considered capable of coping with all the various elements of danger known to exist. Finally Pat Hennessey, an old plainsman who had seen service as wagon master in the civil war, was prevailed upon to undertake a push through the Indian-infested country with a relief train. The Wichita agency had been advised that the great annual medicine dance of the entire Kiow-a tribe generally held on the Washita River about the first of June, had been postponed until July 4 and would be held on the north fork of the Red River. Bucks Attend Big Dance It was believed that this event would induce most of the war "bucks to leave the trails and gather at the big dance, so Hennessey arranged to take the trail about that time. Most of the Kiowa bucks were at the big dance and remained there during the week of festivities, but Osage renegades' had notified a roving band of Cheyennes of the situation, and early in the morning of July 3 the relief caravan suddenly mev this war party coming north on the trail near where the city of Hennessey now stands. The Indians had been advised as to the probable strength of the relief party, and as they numbered many times more they were Bold.. It soon became evident to Hennessey that only the best of fortune could prevent him and all his companions from losing their lives, but he prepared to fight. The Indians, it developed later, were not anxious to kill the whites. 1 but wanted rather their animals and theWagon load of supplies. A tarty of Osages was nearby, saw the brief but bitter fight and told the story to government officers at Wichita. The whites made a desperate defense, but dropped one by one until only Hennessey was left. He surrendered only when his last bullet had been fired. Victim of Torture At the close of the fight the Osage party came up, and together the two bands pillaged the wagon train, took all the good mules and, after torturing Hennessey until he had suffered indescribably, they planned to burn the wagons they did not need. Terribly maimed, but fully conscious, Hennessey was tied to the wheel of a wagon. The Indians then set fire to the great heap of wreckage and watched the white man burn alive while they were preparing to take the trail in search of other white victims. Some of the Osages hurried the word through to the government agent at Wichita that Hennessey's train had been surrounded, the drivers massacred and the supplies stolen. The charred bodies of the whites were given a burial with funeral ' rites and another wagon train. heavily guarded, dispatched to the now suffering camps below. When Oklahoma was opened in 1889, Indians showed early settlers the exact spot where Pat Hennessey made his heroic stand and where he met his death in the war dance that followed the battle. A town was located as' near the identical spot as possible, and today it bears the name of Irlennessey. BILlr FOR KTN'DERGAETES A bill to make mandatory the establishment of kindergartens as a part of the public school system in all districts of the first class in Oregon is to be placed before the legislature at its next session by the state parent-teacher association. A similar law now exists which is applicable to Multnomah county alone. Any information forwarded to The Fiery Cross, and which is considered confidential by the writer, will kindly lie addressed to j80 Century Building, Indian apolls, Dept. 1.

(Continued from Page 1) women played a prominent part in the day's festivities. English Celebrates One of the larger celebrations of the day was held at English where the Klansmen and Klanswomen in attendance were treated to a most enjoyable program. Washington, in the southern part of the state, ran up against rain, but succeeded in carrying out the program and later holding a parade, which was once called off but afterward held. The affair was held at Sugarland park and was a success despite the downpour in the afternoon which kept many persons away although a large crowd attended. Klansmen of Jeffersonville and Clarke county held a celebration at Sellersburg and enjoyed a crowd estimated at between fifteen and twenty thousand. A mishap, after about one-third the fireworks had been lighted, destroyed the balance. Many persons from Kentucky and Illinois took part in the celebration. Itockport Celebrates At Rockport, which is a stronghold in Indiana Klandom, a most successful celebration was staged. AyJ&rge crowd, estimated at almost twelve thousand, was in attendance at that point and many Klansmen and Klanswomen from other points journeyed to Rockport. The event was held at the fairgrounds. An initiation of candidates was held and a big fireworks display was staged. A celebration held at the fairgrounds in Boswell was attended by a large crowd. Brilliant speakers were on the program and a display of fireworks was given during the evening. The affair was attended with great success and lasted all day. Kokomo, which staged the "meet of meets" in 1923, was again on the job and presented a most pleasing program to a crowd ofv Klansmen and Klanswomen -estimated at about twenty thousand. .The affair lasted F5" mglrTiii'Biai ''it

A number of sporting events took place in the afternoon and at night a great parade was held in which nten, women and members of the Junior Klan took part. The celebration was held at the fairgrounds. A ceremonial was held at which a large class ot candidates was initiated. A brilliant display of fireworks closed the program.

Boarding- House for Working Girlrj- Established At the second annual convention of the Grand League of Protestant Women of America, held at Houston, Texas, recently, it has demonstrated after one and one-half years of earnest effort, the wisdom of its policy. It has been the idea of the women responsible for the beginning of this organization, that Protestant Christian women should feel their responsibility and give their share of service in promoting Protestant Christian unity in a work carried on without commercialization in an absolutely independent way, "Of Women, By Women, and For Women," and along constructive lines. This organization, believing that preventative measures are better than corrective, has instituted a chain of Protestant boarding homes for business girls. These homes, three of which are now in operation in different states, are proving a haven of rest to the business girls who are taxing their capacity. A number of other similar homes are planned for large commercial centers and it is the wish of the league to put them in operation at the earliest date possible.
