A godless nation can not endure! The citizenship of a free country must not only be capable and discriminating in economic and political questions, but about ethical and spiritual values. If the average voter is not fond of life's high meanings there can be only one result.

The Churches have now come to a halt against the adverse currents. It is unreasonable to expect them to make headway against a stolid and trained intellectual indifference. They are at work now on an impossible task. The opposition is institutional. The way out is a fundamental reconstruction of methods and policy.

1. Let the supreme emphasis of the voluntary religious forces be placed on the family life. The forward movement with consequences is with childhood in the home.

2. The public schools may undertake to teach the sacred cleanliness of the procreative fountains, and, by interpretation of nature's intent, help the young life to self-mastery-especially in that time when the mystic breezes begin to blow from out the cosmic seas in the time of adolescence. Execute the teaching in municipal administrations and in the divorce courts.

3. Put the old-time household moralities into

the common schools, and teach them openly in all the grades-and flavor them with a little salt of Spartan austerity.

4. Teach in all schools the Divine immanence, and let the child go out with a reverent sense of God's being. Teach-do not proveonly sharp-cut an instinct about the edges.

The Churches in America do not ask favors or seek special privileges, with the very life of the nation in view; they demand simply institutional justice-in other words, fair play.
