The above, broadly speaking,
may be said to be Mr.. Taft's re-

the divinity of Christine Immac-

known, but he does not have to do
so totcome within the principles of
the Unitarian faith. He has sub

DR.. Pierce does not understand
how any criticism can be justly
leveled at Mr.. Taft on account of
his religion. He points out that
Jefferson, Adams and Daniel Web
ster were Unitarians, and that the
Unitarian belief was essentially
that expressed by Jefferson in his
public writings.
"Our.belief, which Mr.. Taft has
embraced, is to love justice and
mercy and to walk humbly with
God" added DR., Pierce. "Abra-
