Show Big and Little Religion. This story comes from Australia, where all conversation turns eventually eventu-ally to matters educational, because the parent is painfully anxious that his sons shall pass the standard which will free them from certain years of military service. A visitor "was conversing con-versing with his host's small son and opened as a matter of course with the words: "Do you go to school." "Yes." "And what do you learn? Reading, Read-ing, writing and sums." . "Oh, yes, and I learn religion.'too." "Religion?" "Yes. I learn the little religion, which teaches that we all come from Adam. But my elder brother is in a higher class; he learns the big religion, relig-ion, and that teaches that we all came Erom monkeys." |
