Political Instruction in Sunday Schools

CHARLES ALLING, a Chicago alderman, is quoted in the Chicago Tribune of December 26 as “advocating the instruction of Sunday-school children in political matters,” and saying: “What is the use of knowing how to get to heaven when you do not even know who represents your ward?” In the same paragraph it is stated that “on this line Judge Orrin N. Carter will address the pupils of the First Presbyterian Sunday-school to-morrow at noon. . . . He will advise them to attend the primaries and to belong to a political party.” But Christ says: “My kingdom is not of this world.”
