THREATS MADE
TO CLERGYMAN
The Rev. William RAIDER Re-
ceives Anonymous Note
Telling of Desire to Injure

May you have long life and hard
death; 1 would like to give you the
contents of a revolver is the threat
against the Rev. William RAIDER in an
anonymous letter recently received by
him.
1t was in sermon at the Third Con-
gregationaI Church last night that the
Rev Mr.. RAIDER mentioned the fact of
his having received a threatening let
ter which was the outcome of sermon
he preached Sunday night, March 13,
in which he scored agitators and
bluntly asserted that San Francisco is
full of anarchists; is full Of people that
do not love this country, nor this coun-
try's government.
On that occasion the Rev. Mr..
RAIDER declared that those that insult
the Government of the United States
and those that insult the flag of this
country should be deported, and he
continued by saying that men that in
suit the Stars and Stripes are not
worthy its protection.
Anarchy, he also declared, was in
disguise in the city under a ''sweeter
name,'' a more sugary guise," and he
pictured the mourning that had over
taken the nation through the asSas-
sination of three Presidents.
The subject of the sermon preached
last night was THE Leavening of the
Nation"
Rev. Mr.. RAIDER said in part:
man sins against the Holy Ghost when
he becomes impervious to truth, by prejudice
and bigotry.
One is appalled, sometimes at the attitude of
men toward the gospel. How frequently
receive letters OF condemnation for speaking
the simple truth. These letters, OF course are
unsigned and are consequently from men who
bad
man who would write an anonymous let
ter is capable of murder is capable, 1 say,
OF any crime OF the calendar.
For the sermon I preached last Sunday I
have received one letter which illustrates the
hard mind. In this letter tie writer politely
expresses the desire 10 give me lead piTl''
and wished Tong life and hard DEATH
I hope he is here tonight. If 1 were called
uo at any hour Of the night to help him, or
any other man. 1 would give my strength to
serve him.
That is what / am in the world to do but
these threats are anarchy, not against me per-
sonally, bat against God. against the church.
against the truth and against the Government
How shall the church make itself felt against
such dreadful threats in this beautiful city
in this beautiful land OF the free?
