Resolutions of Respect.

To the Van Buren Baptist Church in conference
assembled:
Whereas. 1t has pleased the Almighty
God to take from our midst our beloved
and worthy brother, E. A. Cory, who
was summoned by the Master to come
up higher.
Be it Resolved-First. That while
we bow in humble submission to the
will of the Master, we greatly deplore
the loss, to the church and community, +,
of our beloved brother, who was called
SO suddenly to his reward in Heaven.
The christian walk of the deceased was
such as to command the respect of even
the sinners, for his life and all his
belongings were consecrated to God.
No cause of charity ever appealed to
him in vain, and his love for Christ and
His cause was of the kind that acknowl-
edged that ''All to Christ owe,'' and
his time and his purse were always
ready when occasion demanded.
Second. That in the death of Brother
Cory the Baptist cause has lost an
untiring, Jealous worker, and while he
is no longer with us and we deeply feel
his loss, because Of the example he set
for Us, we rejoice in the knowledge that
he has gone TO his home in Heaven, a
home not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens, where sorrow never comes.
Third. That we grieve with the
widow and orphans who, by the death
Of this sanctified brother, are left to
battle for themselves until such time az
the Lord may see fit to call them hence,
and may He. who has promised 20 be a
husband to the widow and father tc
the orphan. protect and keep them.
Fourth. That these resolutions bt
spread upon a page Of the records ot
this church. a copy furnished tbs
family, and that the newspapers of oul
city be requested to publish same.
Respectfully submitted,
j. w. HIGos,
w. II. DUNLAP,

The American Spirit.
ON the Atlanta Constitution

l FROM tne AllAulA OOlAululOn
| We believe in America for Americans
and we claim for Americans every
naturalized foreigner and every for
eigner's son among us who identiie:
himself with our people and is in
sympathy with our institutions, nc
matter what his religious faith may be.
This is in accordance with the spirit
of genuine Americanism. To prescribe
good citizen because he is of foreign
birth. or foreign parentage, or because
of his religious faith, would be
un- American, unjust and un Christian.
When the fathers of our republic
framed our constitution they carefully
guarded the rights of conscience and
free speech. They knew that the
American nation was made up of people
from every land and they foresaw that
in the course of time the oppressed of
every country would seek shelter under
our flag. Their policy was both wise
and Just. Under it we have grown
prosperous and powerful and among
the bravest and best of Americans will
be found thousands of Europeans and
their children who cast their lot with
us. Many of this class of citizens are
Roman Catholics. but they are standing
shoulder to shoulder with their Protest
ant neighbors, sharing their burdens
fighting their battles, rejoicing in their
good fortune, comforting them in Their
sorrows, upbuilding and uplifting the
republic and never uttering disloyal
word or doing a disloyal act.
To say that these people are oul
enemies because they or their fathers
came from another country and honest
ly hold religious views which differ
from ours would be bigoted and narrow
in the extreme. To organize against
them to prevent them from holding
office in a government which is as much
theirs as ours would be un American
and unjust. To arouse prejudice
against them which would injure them
in their business and make it difficult
for them TO obtain employment would
be un- Christian. In a small, mean
petty way ii would be initiating the
Turkish persecution OF the Christians
with its more barbarous features left
out. II secret, oath bound society
should be organized 10 take part in oul
politics with view 10 prescribing and
virtually ostracizing our Roman
Catholic fellow citizens. or the follow
ers of any religious faith. or any class
of law abiding and loyal foreigners
among us, such a society should bC
condemned and opposed by every tru'
American.
Naturally we cannot hold thess
opinions and indorse, encourage ol
even tolerate the organization known a.
the american Protective Association.
We predict for that society very briel
career. In some localities it will enjoy
temporary success, ard it will stir n
strife and bad feeling in many com
munities. But in a short time th'
people will lose patience with II. i
does not suit Americans 70 persecut'
their neighbors, and the great maJ0rit,
will resent the methods and principles
Of the A. p A. and snow them undei
with a shower Of ballots.
] A few years from now every citizer
who has ever been connected with thi'
society will deny il or explain or apollo
gize for his folly.
II takes good citizen to be a broad
minded American.
