PASTOR FORMULATES
GREED OF REPUBLIC
Rev. DR.. R. H. MeKim Expresses His
Ideals of a Democracy.

Rev. DIR. Randolph Harrison McKlm.
rector of the Church Of the Epiphany, Of
this city, has expressed his ideals and
creed OF a republic under the subject.
THE Greed of Our Revolutionary Faith
ers," an a symposium collected By the
New York Sun.
Among others who contributed original
thought on this subject were Secretary
of War Baker, Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels, DIR. Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard. Cardinal Farley. and other
prominent personages.
DR.. McKim drew up the, following
creed:
II believe with Jefferson in God as the
supreme judge OF man and nations, and
with Washington that religion and mo-
rality are indispensable supports Of po-
ntlcal prosperity
It believe in nberty-cIvil and religious
liberty-liberty of speech and Of the press
liberty of opinion. liberty Of belief, but
always liberty under law-ordered liberty
which respects the laws of the COM
munity and the rights of the Individual
citizen.
Il believe In justice-Iustice without re-
spect of persons-justice to high and low
and rich and poor alike-justice which
holds an even scale, justice whose eyes
are bandaged so that she cannot see the
faces OF those who appeal to her tri-
bunal--Justice which shall be administered
by courts and officers of the State.
Il believe also In the equality OF all
men before the law; equality OF oppor-
tunity, equality OF privilege and that all
men are endowed by their Creator with
certain fnaHenable rights 1 believe that
governments derive their Just powers
from the consent of the governed, and
that all officers of the government should
in the last resort be responsible TO the
people. And 1 believe that every citizen,
in return for the liberty and protection
which he enjoys. is under obligation to
support and defend the republic at what
ever cost Of service and sacrifice.
Il believe in democracy, organized in
the form of representative government
government functioning through repre-
sentatives chosen by the people, as dis
tinguished from pure democracy in
which every question is referred directly
to the people.
Il believe in the supremacy of con-
science as the voice OF God, and in the
great moral principles which have their
sanction in the Christian religion, and
which were the basis of the civilization
brought to these shores by our forefath-
ers.
Finally, believe in the brotherhood
OF man and In the exercise of kindness
and humanity to all men; in the inviola-
bic obligation of treaties made by the
State, and in the sacredness of the FAM
lily as the natural unit OF the social or
ganism."
