Teaching and Forbidding to Practise.
In some of the United States of America it is a penal offense for any one to teach white children and colored children in the same school, even in a private school. Yet the Bible is read in the public schools of that State, and the Bible says that God “hath made of one blood all nations of men” (Acts 17:26); also that among those who “have put off the old man . . . and have put on the new man, . . . there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free; but Christ is all, and in all.” And in some of the States where the Bible is read in the public schools, it is a penal offense to practically carry out the principles of the Sabbath commandment contained in the Bible. The people of some of the latter class of States would promptly condemn the action of the former class; but which is the more inconsistent? Read Rom. 2:1-3.
