REPUDlATE BOYCE TAYLOR

The Herald desires ia. offer its
congratulations to the First Bap-
tist church of Richmond, Kv.,
upon its action in vigorous d.
nunciatioo of one H. Boyce Tay-
lor, and its demand for his re-
signation as moderator OF the
State Baptist Association.
The man who is not for the
United States heart and soul,
who Is not ready to support eve-
ry movement that promises to
aid in the efficient prosecution
of the war, who is not ready t.
make sacrifices for the honor and
welfare of his country. is not in
the true sense of the word an
American citizen. He is in fact
anti. American.
The newspapers of Western
Kentucky, edited by the most re-
putable citizens. have represent.
ed II. Boyce Taylor in the atti.
tude of artagonism to the gov
ernment of the United States
which is fighting now in
a just and righteous cause. The
Herald has seen no denial, no
charge that he has been miSrep-
resented. The resolutions ad.
opted at Richmond refer to spe-
clhc evidences other than that re-
printed in the Herald from
Western Kentucky newspapers,
Under such circumstance the
Baptists of Kentucky owe it to
themselves to repudiate a man
who dishonors them. Every
Baptist congregation in Ken.
lucky should follow the lead of
the First Baptist church of Rich.
mond. Lexington Herald.

under Caesar the things which are
Caesars; and unto God the things
that are Gods" OF course Caesar
here stands not only for all monarchies
but for any other kinds of government;
and this passage sets forth very clear
ly the relationship of every follower
of the Lord Jesus to his government
and to his God, Paul IN Rom. l3 and
Peter in his first epistle both make it
exceedingly clear that the man who
does not obey the laws of his country
is not only in rebellion against his
government but against Coda

Of the kindly ministrations of tender

of the souls Of the soldiers We quoted
this incident from the Sunday School

preciate all the musical talent brought
Tor cur enjoyment. But we are off to
the front tomorrow; and do not know
how to die am not prepared to meet
God only wish there had been
something FOR our souls"

over again can establish the Editors
