From the Peptecosial Herald
AS shall not have time 10 answer
the many comm unications 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 or Jesus
Christ, ! will an swer them, one and
all, at this time, through the columns
OF the Herald Am eng these commun-
icatlons, coming from every quarter,
there has been only one of adverse
criticism. This one cells attention 10
the fact that Mr.. Taft has said kind
things Of missions, the Church. etc,
etc, to all of which 1 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.n
This the Unitarians deny. o. course,
they have many ways of wriggling
in and out, explaining and hair-split-
ting, but they are curse and blight to
any community in which they exist
IN sufficient numbers in which to give
them influence. The Christian Church
does not, cannot recognize or fellow
snip with them as Christians / believe
1t would be great national sin, and
bring national calamity, to elect man
our Chief Magistrate who has the
views with regard TO Christ that Uni
tartan must have.
70 the large number of friends who
have sent me words Of approval and
congratalation, i return my thanks. 1t
startles and saddens me to think of
| the great, greedy, goddess corporations
tions and constituencies money kings,
using their tremendous influence to
put this man upon the throne of power
Nearly 1900 y ears ago this poor, mad
blind world reached the high tide of
sin when it cried in mad frenzy, re-
lease unto us Barabas and cruelty
Christ. Mad men had their way that
awful day Of tragedy, but their judg-
mert came sure and soon. Will this
generation repeat the blind folly of
the Jews? III SO, we must prepare to
reap harvest which is sure to ripen
In due time.
| Not long ago the Senate of the
United States ignored Christ's teach
ing that mo man cometb to the Faith
er but by me-" and elected a Unitarian
cha plain to pray for them--to mock
God. But no one seemed to care. IT
looks as If this country has become too
stupid to be aroused to state of right
eous indignation, Directly aftcrward
one man just OFT OF the Senate was
shot to death by the woman he hid
debauched and deserted, another died
IN time to keen out Of prison, 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 its in
toxicants into prohibitson States and
zones, and thus the Government legal
ICES and protects crisne.
1t is high time for ministers Of the
gospel to cry aloud for Christian men
to think, for patriots to arouse them
selves. II we continne 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 criminai, and have spoken with
m alice toward none and love for all.
