ECCLESIASTICAL WAR.
Trouble for Congress in the Recognition
of the Deity Resolutions.


of the Deity Resolutions.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Congress seems
destined to have an ecclesiastical war on
its hands by reason of the resolutions
which Senator Frye of Maine, and Repre-
sentative Morse of Massachusetts have
brought in to secure recognition of the
deity in the constitution of the United
States Members are being deluged with
missives of commentator and protest
upon the project Letters are received
from clergymen all over the country, but
particularly from the east. Religious
organizations are beginning to take an in
terest in the proposal while the societies
OF free-thinks are also aroused
The trouble seems to lie not so much in
the purpose of the resolution set forth in
its title as in that clause of it which EN-
bodies the Orthodox Evangelical belief in
Jesus Christ. This has begun to stir the
opposition of Hebrew citizens and others.
Some letters have been received from
clergymen, who desire to address the COM
nlittee against the resolution. 1t was
known that the resolution would come
before the judiciary committee Friday and
delegation of church people from Penn
sylvania was there to advocate The COM
mittee will give another hearing on the
first Tuesday in March.
