SOME QUESTIONS
FOR CHRISTIANS,
By G. f.. Pnrson.

l would like to call the attention
OF the good church members to a few
verses in the Bible, and then ask
them il they can still vote for the
same two Old Parties that stand for
graft and robbery, and call them
selves Christians.
God said, from the sweat OF
mans face shall he eat bread" Gen.
3-19. But when you vote the Dem
ocratici or Republican ticket, you say
by your vote tina you wish Code
will not to be done, for it is 'front.' the
sweat of the other mans face that
the Capitalist eats his daily bread.
And did not Paul say, He that
does not work, neither shall he eat
But you say by your vote, "He that
does not work shall eat all, while the
man that works shall starve."
Paul also said. 1--WE command you
in .~earnestness hat you all work and
eat your own bread"
these three clauses in Gods Hol1
Word? And Paul also said, ..He
that keepeth the whole law and ve,
effendeth in one part, is guilty OF
ALL
, How then can you vote for a sys,
tenn that srinds the life out o.
women and children, that the one
that does not work shal live il
luxury, and the workers in poverty:
TO vote the old Party ticket il
Dremeditated murder; to vote the So
clallst ticket is to vote for life anf
peace and plenty for all, as GOO in
tended, and will bring about a re
liSion that will be Gods religion
and not the religion of Mammon.
