G Alioway, New Grenada, Pa. 8 10 Gt. , Educational Day. Last Sabbath was Educational Day in the churches throughout the United States. Rev. J. L. Grove preached on the subject in the morning, In his usual able manner he pointed out how the State recognized its responsibility to instruct the youth of the land in all points that go to make good citizenship. Not only are the fundamentals of a common school education necessary, but voca tional subjects, sanitation, and many other things leading to a higher civilization are recogniz ed and taught To prove our national leaning to Christianity, he pointed to the practice of our courts in requiring recognition of God in the oath, to the opening of all legislative sessions by pray er, to the punishment of certain crimes against morality, and he made reference to many things that mark us as distinctly Chris tian in character. He then con trasted the absurdity of some of the school laws that debar the use of the scriptures in the com mon Bchools in some states, mak ing the practice seem very inap propriate in view of the fore going recognition of the State's responsibility to make good citi zens. He showed plainly how the Bible cannot be taught in thousands of homes, and how these children cannot be reached by the church because they do not, and will not, attend. This plainly puts it up to the State to see to it that the only foundation for good citizenship is taught in unobjectionable ways in the State's own schools. Rev. Grove paid high tribute to the power of the newspapers to raise the standard of education, civiliza tion, and good morals in any community. Will Tour the Presbytery.
