1.-The association said the Rev. ]. S.
McGaw, field secretary of the national
organization, lis not a federation of
churches but union of Christian pat
riots of every name, who recognize
that the application OF the principles
liberty loving republic that the high
est welfare of the nation is bound up
in the maintenance of cur diStinctively
Christian Institutions and that the only
hope of the future strength and per-
pe1uity of the nation is in wheeling
into line with the will and purposes of
God as revealed in His word. In its
ranks may be found leading ministers
in all churches as well as statesmen,
jurists, attorneys, educators and re-
formers.
1T is carrying into every state a
campaign against the liquor traffic, the
heinouS divorce laws which disgrace
our statute books, the dissertation Of
the Lords Day by unnecessary toll and
the conspiracy of Mormonism. 1t seeks
to organize all Christian patriots
against the encroachments and revolu-
tionary demands of the leagued hosts
of secularists who propose to abolish
our civil Sabbath, the reading of the
Bible in the public schools, the civil
oath with it's appeal to God, the en-
ployment of chaplains in our army and
navy, reformatory and penal Inst1tu-
lions and halls of legislation, Thanks
giving day, the Christian inscription on
our coins and the acknowledgment of
God as they exist in the constitutions
of the various states.
ut is seeking by every legitimate
means to awaken public conscience that
we may have such transformation of
the national mind that America as
willing people may acknowledge the
king of nations in her fundamental
law"
