Religion in the Public Schools
It appears that the question of teaching religion in the public schools is still being discussed at Honolulu, H. I., and Brother C. D. M. Williams has contributed another article on this subject to the columns of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser of that city. We quote one paragraph from Brother Williams’s article:— “It is not because religion is not taught in our public schools that infidelity is coming in like a flood; it is because the popular religion of to-day makes no impress on, or change in, the lives of the mass of those who profess it; it is because many religious teachers have left the Bible and taken man-made theology and higher criticism for their standard; it is because they have rejected the Spirit and power of God, and are now seeking the power and laws of the state to enforce their religious dogmas.”
