PREJUDICE POISON INMINDS OF HEN Sways Their Judgment, Dr, Ahl- quist Tells Bible Class The public has been buncoed more | or less by historians who have gol- | ored thelr records to sult the popu- | lar prejudice, according to a state- ment made by Rev. A. A. Ahlquist, Ph. D, at a meeting of the Every- man's Bible class yesterday morning. Dr. Ahlquist took as his subfect, | “The Son of Thunder,” referring to John. He pointed out that many things the latter did, which were not | right, were the result of his extreme | loyalty, Later he sald, John “laid stde his prejudices.” Continuing the minister asked: “Have you ever thought, men, about the extent to which we are ' gwayed by our prejudices? We have | in our day lost our fear of facts |ui the fleld of exact sclences; but hn\\“ is it when we enter the fleld of | human relationships? Take, for in- stance, the field of politics. We aro | appealed to in politics through our prejudices, are we not? We accept the vaporous ravings and eloquent and meaningless phrases that are thrown out as facts—or we are at least governed in our voting as if they were facts. “This Is more or less true in econ- omics, In gociology and it s certain- Jy true in history., The scientific mind can be trusted to be accurate when it studies bugs, but it fails ut. terly when it studles the behavior and relationships of human beings. “When Henry IPord said that ‘all! history is bunk, he came near the truth. Fven though all history is not bunk, yat we have certainly been buncoed more or less by historlans, Very recently a Tammy Hall poli- ticlan had certain standard American historles censored because the Eng- lish were not deseribed as terrible | oppressors of our forefathers, In | harmony with a certain phrase in| our national anthem the historiany were unpatriotic becanse they did { dices, howover dcep-seated they are and however they may curtall our Interests.

Mary's Church The Forty Hours' devotion opened yesterday morning at St Mary's church at the 10:30 o'clock mass with one of the most beautitul cere- monies enacted during the church vear. The altar was heautifully eet off with lighted candles and clusters of flowers and palms. After the services at the solemn high mass, a procession in which the blessed sacrament was borne through the aisles of the church, took place.
