GOD In POLITICS,

The recent action Of the North Carolina
Legislature, published in another column. in
e1pelling one Of its members, Mr.. ]. ".
TaoRNE, sort Of Quaker, on account Of his
alleged disbelief in the existence Of God, along
with other historical incidents in the same
State, should commend North Carolina as
piece of residence to the people who advocate
the doctrine generally known as "God in the
Constitution" but which might be more &C
curately defined es God in Politics." Up to
the year 1913 the God in the North Carolina
Constitution was not only Christian
God, but also a Protestant God. Under
the organic law Of the State up
to TINT period, all persons who denied
s'the truth Of the Protestant religion"
were excluded from holding Office. This
provision debarrcd Catholics and Jews, as
we'll as Deists, Atheists, and in6dels. In the
Constitution OF 1s4s the political notion Of
Deity was modified, and the new restriction
was limited to general belief in God; this
idea YVES retained in The new Constitution Of
1868, which has a clause disqunlifying from
holding Office, 81 First, all persons who
shall deny the being Of Almighty God" "
This general disqualification, however, seems
to be subject to the special Interpretation Of
the Legislature for Mr. THoRSE was ex-
PEELED On the ground Of disbelief in the being
Of Almighty God, though he made the
following explicit declaration Of faith in
his speech before the Legislature: There is
but ono living and true God; everlasting,
without body, or parts, or passions; Of un-
limited power, wisdom, and goodness the
maker Of all things, visible and invisible" :"
To laymnn and non-believer in the doctrine
Of s'God in Politics, this would seem to be
G sufficiently strong declaration Of belief in
Almighty God to warrant q man, otherwise
unobjechonable, in holding seat in the Leg
islature to which he had been chosen by the
sufrages Of the people. In addition to this
| declaration, Mr. THoRSE also presented 8
| number Of letters showing that he was q
| member in good standing in the Progressive
| Order Of Friends, sect Of Quakers that
he had been Trustee in the church
Of that Society in Pennsylvania, his
former home; and that he was man
Of good moral character. But he had written
|
trinity and Resurrection as mythical or su-
| perstitous, and said that he did rot regard
| God as Being whose chief purpose is to
torture mankind after death. He also stated
in the presence Of the Legislature that, while
he believed in God, ha did not believe t'in
! all the characterizatons attributed to Him. n
rhereupon member declared that it was
| clesr THoRNE did not believe in the "God OF
our Constitution" +" and it was on this ground
! that Mr. THoRN was expelled by 3 majority
| vote Of the House sitting as an Ecclesiastical
Court.
From this instance it is plain that when
God is introduced into politics it is necessary
to define exactly What kind Of q being is In
tended. It is doubtful whether Jew, o.
Unitarian, or even UniTersalist, could pas:
muster in the North Carolina Legislature
But, suppose some future Legislature sha1
interpret the attributes of God to b.
ike those believed in BY the Quaker THoaNE
