UNCLE TOMS LETTER.

tinue to pay any attention to the raw
ings of the fanatical partisan repnbli-
cans who can't see any thing good in
ANYTHING unless it is labelled "Repub-
lican''. They are nothing different
from the Scribes and Pharisees OF
Christ's day and are just as Indifferent
to the doctrine of the brotherhood OF
man as they were, and just as intense
ily partisan for their Caesar as they
were, no difference. 1 had just as
well sing psalms to dead horse as TO
preach to them the brotherhood of
man. and persuade them to endorse
the principles of the same. They
don't seem to realize that such prin-
CHILE is the highest principle known
and before it all tyranny must fall,
all robbery and exploitation must
cease. all competition and unbretherli-
ness must pass away, and that such a
doctrine is sanctioned by God and Ho-
" Writ. No, they are joined to their
selfish partisanism and intend, from
their language, to vote TO perpetuate
the dominion of Mammon or the Re
publican party just as long as they
can, and reject God and His laws just
as thew did in the days of Samuel.
God told Samuel then that they had
not rejected him, shut me have they
rejected = They didn't want God or
his laws to rule and govern them.
Just so in this day they don't want
God and His laws to be over them.
They are all right for God until elect
ion day but on that day Caesar must
be enthroned again, and the crown
placed on his head. That is day
when Love thy neighbor as myself
is forgotten and the brotherhood of
man is no good and the policy and
system of Caesar that has it's birth in
militarism and conquest must be ell
dorsed and propagated. Thus child
rem are robbed before they are born of
their Inheritance and people profess to
believe the policy and system is right
before God. Like the lawyer in the
days of Christ, they stand up and ask,
who is my neighbour They can't
Justify themselves in their conduct for
enslaving and robbing their fellows.
They don't want "Uncle Sam, as we
call him, to become the good Samari-
tan, or the Moses to lift up the world
to a higher plane of social christian
living, and to adopt the laws of God.
There is nothing in "the lowest reach
of hell" more diabolical than the hog
gish, foxy, wolfish ethics of capitals
tic business. 1t is utterly selfish,
criminal, anti -brotherly, anti-human,
it is the serpent of Genesis, the beast
of Revelation, the arch enemy of man
kind. It is clearly anti Christ and the
tempter of the world, the Babylon of
Revelation that is to be overtime wn
and destroyed before the world can
live in peace and harmony. It's at
tempts to ''shirk the responsibility of
murder as Cain did of old and is just
as wicked as he was and just as hyp-
ocritical, for with one breath they de-
clare themselves to be the Trustees
of Providence for the management
of the coal fields, oil wells. ETC., and
in the next breath they deny response
bility for the many deaths caused by
negligence, and their upholders and
would be abettors are not whit bet
ter.
"Who is my neighbor" is a question
we'll worthy of consideration. Is it
the man who processes to live off the
labor Of others, or the man who by
fraud keeps back the hire Of the men
who reap down his fields. What did
Christ and st. James say about the
matter3 Did they charge the wage
worker of not doing bis duty. No,
but woe was pronounced against their
treatment of the hireling.
am really glad that l have in my
heart love for humanity and cour-
age enough to stand up against the
ungodly oppression tolerated by the
of Caesar They cried out
in the presence of Christ, when be
was teaching the fatherhood of God,
1--WE have Abraham for our father. =,
thus rejecting the fatherhood of God
as they do in this, our day the broth
erhood of man. I wish had time and
space to talk on the Abrahamic father
hood and how it binds the Hebrews to- |
gether, but the higher and more sub
lime is the fatherhood of God which |
should bind all men together in one |
common brotherhood which was the |
theme of Christ and the apostles. 1t |
was His religion and politics, the same
as it is and has been the theme doc
trine politics of all true christians in |
every age I've no regrets or apollo
gies to make in what I've said in re-
gard to preachers aiding Caesar. 1t is
not their business, but their business
is to preach and teach the kingdom of
God and the brotherhood OF man.
There can be no alliance with the
kingdom of God and Caesars king
dom. When men do that they simply |
reject God, His laws and His statutes
and commandments. Stand for God
first last and all the time. All chris
