Light Comes From the Word of God Isa. 8:20 Every great invention has been a product of Christian association. The typewriter, the fountain pen, the tele phone, and telegraph are the products of minds produced in the atmosphere of the Word of God. The steam engine, the gas engine, the aeroplane, the au tomobile, the outboard motor are all products of minds trained in Christian surroundings. The electric light, the ra dio, the clock, dentures, spectacles, and locks were designed and devised in Christian countries. Our lawmakers have decided that our young people will become splendid law- abiding citizens of the stalwart type who founded our present republic, if they are denied access to the Word of God and refused permission to know anything about God. They have failed to read history. They have ignored the lessons of history. They have refused the examples that history provides. No people have ever yet prospered intel lectually or morally who removed, ig nored, or repudiated God’s Word as re vealed in the Bible. The Head and the Heart Must Be The head directs our thought but the heart directs our action. Both must be illuminated by the Word of God if the results are to be good. It is God’s plan that we should live in the atmosphere of the Scriptures constantly. The Word of God should occupy our thoughts throughout the day and the night. The Scripture will direct our steps and our stops. They will lead us in paths of righteousness, godliness, honesty, and justice. The absence of God’s Word leaves the child with no restraint.- All Are to Be Taught By the Lord Isa. 54:13 Only the power of God and the re straint of the Word of God can keep our children from being thieves, van dals, and criminals. The human heart is born wrong. The fear of human laws has a restraining power to a certain extent. And the fear of God’s laws has a restraining power to a greater de gree. The reading of the Ten Command ments, the warnings concerning hell and God’s judgments always have restrained sin and sinners much more. It will do so still if made known to the children. All Do Not Receive the Teaching Luke 13:26 Because of the great variety of re ligions with many strange interpreta tions, it became necessary to forbid the Prepared Deut. 6:7
The Way of Darkness Follows the Rejection of the Scriptures Prov. 4:19 We readily see in our country and in other lands how the darkness of the devil permeates society when the re straining power of the Word of God is removed. If we mingle with the crowd at a baseball game or a prize fight or a football game or on Coney Island and listen to the conversations, we find very quickly that culture, refinement, godli ness, and enlightenment have been re placed by profanity, filth, liquor, and tobacco. When the light of the Word of God is shut out, the darkness- of Satan enters. teaching of religion in the schools. This is easily understood. However, if our boys and girls can hear the Word of God read to them daily, then the Scriptures would themselves have a very blessed effect on the hearts and lives of those who hear. When they hear nothing about God’s plan and purpose and are not acquainted with His judgments, then they feel free to do as they please. What they please to do is not always pleasant or profitable. Christ Is a Good Teacher Eph. 4:21 Christ’s ministry leads one to put off evil habits and to put on good ways. He never leads one to drink or to be profane or to be lustful. His path is one of kindness and consideration, hon esty and justice. He teaches us to re spect the rights of others. All the teaching of God’s Word is against sin and for righteousness. All the com mandments of God are for our good and profit. Let us seek in every way to re store the reading of God’s Word to our children in the public schools.
