GODS COUNTRY CD.

One of Lexingtons Presbyterian preachers, Rev
Charles Lee Reynolds, assumes the credit for having
made most wonderful discovery, and it is wonder
full provided it is true.
Rev. Reynolds does not claim to have been III any
wav inspired or to have been made the recipient OF
some divine revelation from some supposed deity
but it lust occurred to him in the natural order OF
things by a simple exercise of his individual gray
matter He has discovered, and so announced through
the medium of a printed newspaper report OF his
Sunday sermon that it gods great plan TO found
the American republic, and to build up mighty
nation in the land of great PROMISE as he had led
the children of Israel of the wilderness into Their
bright Canaan.
Turning back the pages OF American history ana
with but casual glance therea we are forced TO the
conclusion that if it gods plan to build up new
nation in the precise way there portrayed he is III
mighty poor business, mighty poor manager, ana
ought to make application before one of those gold
gagged courts to have his company put in the hands
of a federal receiver. One would naturally suppose
that even god would become wise through repeated
experience but that stern tutor appears to have had

OF blood and tears.
Was tbs gods plan? Can it be true that an all
wise and benecent deity had other mode of nation
building? Think of the lives sacrificed hearts broken,
homes ruined by bayOnet and TORCH the hardship and
suffering endured through all that period of the
formation of republic and then ask yourself in
sober seriousness if this gods plan. Picture the
agony of men, women and children, scalped, toma-
hawked and cruelty tortured to death by savage bar
barians in the conflict for possession of the SOIL and
then ask again if this gods plan. Did not god
know from the beginning that such tragedies lay in
wait for the SONS and daughters of men! BY simple
exerton of his will it could have been otherwise, II
Christian theology be true but he moved not IN that
direction Is there school child in Amerlct to-day,
able to read who does not know that the few liberties
we enjoy to-day, in America, had to be wresed
in fierce death struggle from the reluctant hands OF
political tyrants who claimed the right to rule by the
fiat and authority Of this same Christian deity!
Granting the truth of their claims, would it not also
be true that every soldier in the army of the revolu
ton was fighting against the will and power
of This same Christian deity! Even the hell Of orhO
dox Christianity offer terror or suffering such
as were endured by the early settlers OF this continent
and to say that this in full accord with gods plan
is to make him a monster fit only for supreme con
tempt
After ALL it would appear that there was method in
the orthodox madness of this Presbyterian sky-pot
Urging upon his ignorant congregation that god had
given them this country the home OF the Tree and
the trimmings usually attached he insisted that it was
their paramount religious duty to see that god got all
there was coming to him, by striving to increase the
size of Sunday congregations, swell the hozannahs,
and incidentally increase the amount OF the coec-
ton.
No search warrant is necessary to find out the mo-
ves that actuate the preachers in all they undertake.
The bulk of them have run the limit, and thinking
people are next to the game.
