tional Peace Forum. Of New York City,

Religion Of President Taft" TO large
audience at All Souls' Church. Lincoln
Center, Of which Or. Jenkin Lloyd Jones
IL the pastor.
Or. Hill began by paying a high tribute
10 the United States as a Christian ma
ton, and said that It was a striking tes-
timony to tho religious character OF the
American people that they have always
insisted on the elevation Of devout, con-
scientious, cody men TO the highest office
within their gift He asserted that Presi-
dent Taft met those requirements, stating
that the President had gone further to
conserve the cause Of Christianity in IT'S
home and foreign propaganda, no less
than IN the application OF it's principles
in social and civic justice. than any Of
his illustrious predecessors.
DR.. Hill, discussing President Taft 8

as a Unitarian. belonged TO the Charming
school, believing as clearly and distinctly

Brooklyn, wherein he praised the Sunday
school as IAN institution OF the greatest
importance TO our country where the
lessons Of the Bible are unfolded and

Jesus Christ, and so lay the foundation
OF enduring religious character"
DR.. Hill pictured President Taft az a
man OF simplicity, sympathy and Chris

their borders free. and II was on Janu-

1t is safe to say that not even the

Woodrow Wilson alone To discover. that
Lincoln abolished slavery 20 further his
