THE RAPID GROWTH of Godless Communism has provided religion-loving people much opportunity for discussing the probability of Godless governments becoming permanent.

Devout believers in the Bible and its teachings definitely doubt that Godless governments can long prevail. For a most eloquent and convincing opinion on that subject, we might go back to an argument made in 1886 by Chauncey Depew, who was a nationally known business man and wit. He was likewise a fine philosopher as the quoting of his words will demonstrate.

At that time Mr. Depew debated this very subject, with a well known historian and philosopher of that period. After his opponent had concluded his remarks, Mr.'Depew spoke, in part, as follows:

"I am a practical business man, overvvhelmed with the cares of business. It is exceedingly difficult for me to get on the plane of philosophical thought. I am a practical man. I believe in the Old Testament and the New Testament.

"It. was the atheism of France which taught license instead of liberty and led to the French Revolution. Where are those old philosophers and philosophies now? They are dead, while Christianity survives. The school of atheism led to despair.

"They tell us that there is no Creator, only a cosmic dust. Who made the dust? There is only protoplasm. Indeed, who made the protoplasm? They tell us of evolution from monkey to man; but all the scientists have never found the missing link.

"The simple gospel of the Son of a Carpenter, preached by twelve fishermen, has survived the centuries and outlives all other philosophies. There is no liberty that lasts in this world, and there is no government which has liberty in it which lasts, that does not recognize the Bible."

Thus spoke Chauncey Depew. And he said it well.
