"G0D AND THE REPUBLIC"
Phrase Favored For Coins by Oppo
nents of "in God We Trust"


At meeting of the Young Mems
chapter of the Lewis Avenue Congre-
gatlonal church in New York the 9th
er evening petition was drawn up
TO be presented to the United States
government requesting that some
phrase expressive OF the nations rec
ignition Of God be placed upon its
coins. says the New York Times. The
resolution said
I'VE second the objection Of Mr.
Roosevelt relative to the continued use
Of the phrase In God We Trust on
our nations coinage. The phrase IS
one which easily lends Itself to ocular
ity. At the same time we deprecate
the removal Of all recognition of God
from the coinage. Some such phrase
as God and the Republic on the coin
OF the realm would satisfy the reli
gious sentiment which is present in the
American people without violating the
keenest sense of humOr. Such a phrase
would inject into the nations life an
element of the sacred which President
Lincoln and Secretary Chase believed
