COUNTRY AND RELIGION.

The Rev. Mir. Johnson, of Globe during address at the patriotic meeting in the Ga county seat last Sunday night voiced sentiment with which the aver age American hardly agree.
 The only flag which any right go ahead of the American flag this country is the flag of the of Christ"
 We fear that the minister, in his statement, has brought up ageod argument-the fight between cival and temporal power in With religion lead ing land with any then that nations government and its flag s in second place. The the United States wisely provides that all lgons be with tolerance prevents the recognition of a religious flag in this country.
 Christianity. undoubtedly leads the world Being a Christian. having been raised Christian atmos- phere it pleases the composite American consider this country the greatest and best We have little, in the United States but Christian people This fact however does that the flag of the should lead, in any event. the stars and stripes.
 We can not agree with the Globe minister. We would agree with him had he declared in of Christianity a religion. When he stated that the flag of Christ would be entitled precedence ever the American colors think he is vocing sentiment which is lis- tinctly un-American and wrong in it's entirety.
 There many in the country who do not worship Christ. The nothing those people. Who that Christianity should be'put pedestal above all other religions? Because have been raised in that atmosphere would lead believe in parent religion; does religion right and af others wrong
 In the discussing of flags 1t would appear to that a dvorcement of religions and national emblems be made. Religion and government has caused trou be than nearly every other agency in the history of the world Religions emblems, except they may apply to each individual should be eliminated when the flag of nation is considered We all entitled to the sderatiou of religion matter what it is but the national emblem must go first.
