A Statement.
The following statement is made by
Evelyn Capron of 400 North Kansas
avenue, in regard to the sermon
preached Sunday night by DR.. Robert
Gordon, pastor of the First Baptist
church: 81 consider Rev. Gordon a
man who is sidetracked. How he or
any other man can stand in a pulpit
and preach as he did Sunday night on
the subject he did and call himself a
minister of the gospel is more than
can understand
ct do not think it proper for min
lister of the gospel to get in the pull
pit and mix politics with religion. 1t
is not his business.
when a man alleges SANDER on
fellow man he gains nothing. If he
would preach the 'Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhoon of Man more
good would be derived by those who
heard him. than if they listened to
ridicule. Ridicule is entirely varied
from the teachings Of Christ
"I am astonished that DR.. Gordon
does not understand humanity.
