MIR. TAFr.s RELIGION.

Dr. Robert S. Macarthur, a distin-
guished Baptist minister of New York,
recently said this with reference to the
religion of Mr. Taft which is so liberal
and sensible as to deserve to be re-
peated and read by everybody in this
campaign:
ITO oppose the candidacy of Judge
Taft on the ground that he is a Uni
tartan, is the acme of political insanity
and religious bigotry.
"One is amazed to discover that such
bigotry as is shown toward Mr.: Taft
in this connection should exist in the
United States in the twentieth century.
Mr.. Taft has told the world that his
father was a Unitarian and that he
follows in his fathers footsteps. Does
that fact imply that he is against Jesus
Christ? Unitarianism is of many types.
1t shades off on the one side toward
extreme radicalism and on the other
toward recognized orthodoxy.
Conservative Unitarianism was pro-
fessed by John Adams and also by
John Quincy Adams. Was that fact
Injurious to their patriotic statesman
ship? Thomas Jefferson did not pro-
fess a creed as nearly orthodox as con-
sentative Unitarianism. Was he there
fore utterly untitled for the duties OF
patriotism and craftsmanship? Abra-
| ham Lincoln was not a member of any
| church, but who will deny that he pos
sessed in all relations with his fellow
men the spirit of Jesus Christi"
Such views from one who is eminent
1y orthodox should be sufficient to re-
move the last vestige of objection to
Mr.. Taft on the score of religion if
any such remnant of intolerance re-
manned. But that issue in fact was
no sooner raised than it was disposed
| of to the satisfaction of all true Amer
leans whether religious or irreligious
1t ought to be heard of no more with
the quietus given to it by DR.. MacAr-
4
