AS / shall not have time to answer
the many communications coming TO
me with regard to my recent editorial
protesting against the election of man
to the presidency of these United States,
who denies the deity of Jesus Christ, l
will answer them, one and all, at this
time, through the columns of the Her
aid. Among these communications,
coming from every quarter, there has
been only one of adverse criticism.
This one. calls attention to the fact that
Mr.. Taft has said kind things of mis-
sions, the Church, ETC., ETC., to all Of
which | simply answer, Mr.. Taft is a
Unitarian. Jesus Christ was all He
claimed to be, or He was an impostor.
He claimed to be one and equal with
the Father He said, "He that hath
seen me hath seen the Father" This
the Unitarians deny. Of course, they
have many ways of wriggling in and
out, explaining and hair-splitting, but
they are curse and blight to any COM
munity in which they exist, in suffi-
cient numbers in which to give them
influence. The Christian Church does
not, cannot recognize them or fellow
ship with them as Christians 1 be-
lieve it would be a great national sin,
and bring national calamity, to elect a
man our Chief Magistrate who has the
views with regard to Christ that Uni
tartan must have
To the large number of friends who
have sent me words of approval and
congratulation, | return my thanks.
But for the candidates Unitarianism,
| should never have said a word. 1t
startles and saddens me to think of the
great, greedy, goddess corporations and
constituencies money kings, | using
their tremendous influence to put this
man upon the throne of power. Near
ly 1000 years ago this poor, mad, blind
world reached the high tide of sin when
it cried in mad frenzy, release unto us
Barabas and cruelty Christ. Mad men
had their way that awful day of trag-
edy, but their judgment came sure and
soon. Will this generation repeat the
blind folly of the Jews? If SO, we emust
prepare to reap harvest which is sure
to rinAc in Hup tino
Not long ago the Senate of the Uni
ted States ignored Christ's teaching
that ''No man cometh to the Father
but by me, " and elected Unitarian
chaplain to pray for them-to mock
God. But no one scanned to care. It
looks as if this country has become too
stupid to be aroused to state of right
eous indignation. Directly afterward
one man just out of the Senate was shot
to death by the woman he had de-
bauched and deserted, another died in
time to keep out OF prison, another was
sent to prison for dishonesty, another
was IN divorce court and mixed up
IN most disgusting scandal. This
same Senate failed to break the power
OF the Tobacco Trust, and stands back
OF the whiskey power shipping it's in
toxicants into prohibition States and
zones, and thus the Government legal
ICES and protects crime.
1t is high time for ministers of the
gospel to cry aloud for Christian men
to think, for patriots to arouse them
selves. If we continue to SOW to the
wind, as sure as God is true and His
word is true, we will reap the whirl-
wind. We are approaching crisis in
our history of such vital Importance
that it seems to me that silence would
be criminal, and | have spoken with
malice toward none and love for all.
