JAMES r. LlpI is quoted as urging at
a mass meeting of the German Cath
Ole Central Verein, that Catholic
voters throughout the United States
unite and cast their influence at the
polls where it will subserve the high
and holy principles" for which Cath
Olics stand.
Mr.. Zipf is further quoted as fol-
lows: There are at least 100000
Catholic voters in the country. Quite
a force for the bringing about of
proper conditions. That is almost
as many as the Republican party
pOlled at the last general election.
That very number places in our
hands a power to be used in works of
social civic betterment, in words of
mercy and of peace. When the Cath
Ole aim is Uplifted let it be for con-
struction always, never for destruc-
ton"
Then the Tribune's correspondent
adds: ''Mr. Zipf asserted he was not
contending for religious party, but
for an organization of Catholics to
bring into public life a spirit of lib
erty and tolerance"
It wouldn't be fair, of course, to
say that Mr.. Zipf's opinion is the
opinion of American Catholics. But
he undoubtedly voices the opinion of
some Catholics - though I believe
they are a small minority. Anyhow,
about the most injudicious thing
Catholics could do would be to fol-
low the advice of Mr.. Zipf.
Whether he contends for a relig-
ious party or not, that's what it
would amount to. Il. Catholics voted
together as Catholics, you have a
Catholic party. If Jews vote together
as Jews, you have Jewish party.
The same would be true of Metho-
dists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Chris
han Scientists or. any other religious
sect. But it can't be done. Jews
won't stand for a Jewish party, Prot

on religious prejudice if they think
they can gain votes by it. And this
goes alike for PrOtestants, Catholics
and Jews. But they seldom get
away with it. Both sides have tried
it in Chicago recently. An appeal
was made to both Catholics and
Germans to elect Sweitzer mayor
because he was both Catholic and
a German-Or at least wore a Ger
man name. One circular appealing
to German sentiment carried pic
lures of both Kaiser William and
Emperor Franz Joseph and was an
open bid for German and Austrian
votes. Another was a frank appeal
to Catholics, claiming that Roger
Sullivan was defeated for U. S. SEN
ator because he was a Catholic. You
all know the result. My own opin-
ion is that these religious and hy-
phenate political appeals drove both
Catholic and German American
votes away from Sweitzer.
. In turn, the anti-CathOlic political
play of the Thompson administra-
especially in the fight against
the Teachers Federation - has dis
guested thousands of fair-minded
Protestants.
Zipf's appeal for a solid Catholic
vote is childish. It merely makes
for fuel for papers like the Menace
with which to feed the fires of relig-
iOus hate.
Reading between the lines, it
would appear that what Zipf of St.
Louis is really driving at is to help
the kaiser gain enough political in
f1uence in this country to defeat
President Wilson and elect Hughes,
the Wall street candidate. Mr. Zipf
was not talking either as Catholic
or as an American, but rather as a
German. He'll probably get a rise
out of patriotic Catholics who don't
get their Americanism from Berlin.

course, but his theological training
also, and then postgraduate course
at the University of Chicago.
It was Central City college that con-
ferred on him the degree Of master of
arts. He was formerly an active fig
ure in Georgia in the UNCONVENTIONAL
work. For five years he was president
of the state Baptist Young Peoples
union. He was for some time prOfes
sor Of languages and higher mathe-
mates in Central City college. He has
been an active and successful pastor in
Atlanta, Baxley and McRae, Ga. His
last work in Georgia was at Central
City college, which position he resign
ed to accept the passionate Of the Sec
ond Baptist church here in April, 1912
When he took charge Of the church
DR.. Thomas found small membership
worshiping in dilapidated frame
building, with seating capacity Of
200 In his initial sermon he declared
that the building would have to come
down and one more suitable to the
needs Of the people would have to be
erected. Within a few months the
building was torn down and the foun
dalton laid for the present magnifi
cent building, one Of the finest in the
state. DR.. Thomas drew the plans
for the building. submitted them to
the church for approval and later turn
ed them over to an architect for per-
lection. He then superintendent the
erection of the church himself.
If there is such thing as 'the heart
of city" it is there where the Second
Baptist church is located. 1t is at
least in the most important part of the
city, and the lot alone is valued at
$4,000. 1t is just one-half block from
the Evanston postoffice. The church
edifice is valued at $4,000. and under
the leadership Of DR.. Thomas $4,000
has been raised within three years and
ten months.
Perhaps it would be of interest to

around Chicago 300 members have been
added to the church in Evanston.
After working year or two among
the pastors and churches of the Bethle
hem Baptist association, of which he
was elected secretary the first year Of
his residence In this city, DIR. Thomas
was elected to the moderatOrship with
out dissenting vote. This association
includes some Of the largest churches
Of Chicago and vicinity. The Second
Baptist church held three notable raj
lies during 1915. with these results:
April %. $1,000: Aug. 20. $1,000. and
Dec. ~. 3.126.62. These amounts were
devoted to the building fund. Special
funds were raised for the building fund
every month during the year. The re-
ceipts for 1915 were more than $4,000
This success is largely attributed to
the splendid organization Of the mem
bership. The entire church is divided
into eighteen auxiliaries. The ladies
of the church are divided into eight
circles, the men into four mems clubs
which make a splendid laymen's move
ment; the teen" age girls into the
Phyllis Wheatley Dramatic and Needle
work circle. The Sunday school, the
Woman's Missionary society, the b. Y
P. u. are also doing splendid work.
