Remove the Bible from school-',

Back to THOUGHTS FOR THE QUIET HOUR

---

God help this nation if it be drifting to secularism! Our 
people may be made giants in intellect; but severed 
from the religious element, divorced from religious training, 
the chances are they may become demons in depravity!

Where, moreover, are remedy and panacea to be found 
for the anguished heart in its time of sorrow? 

Philosophy and science, noble factors as they are, can 
never heal the wounds of humanity, erase the furrows 
from the woe-worn brow, or light up the shadows of the 
final valley. They can never curb the madness of the 
nations, subjugate the demon of war, and "ring in the 
thousand years of peace." 

Remove the Bible from school and university, and 
in that saddest of battles, the struggle of conflicting 
principles, where the godless and Christ-less creed is 
the triumphant one, there can be nothing but the
death-knell.
