The Church in Politics.
Several people two of them con-
siderably experienced in politics were
discussing matters generally in the
presence Of Views and Interviews q
few days ago, when the subject of the
church in politics came. UP. More
properly speaking the subject was
denominational partizanship,
These Baptists stick together. more
than any other denominations" said
one; "but do not know that they are
much worse about that than the Pres
byterians, the Seceders or the Metho-
dists. 1t has been my observation that
most any of them will stick to a man
Of their own denomination as against
a candidate of some other denomina-
ton"
We'll / have watched this matter
for quite a long time," said the other
politician, "and l think most of you
have a mistaken idea with regard to
the situation. Suppose there are two
or three candidates of the same denom-
ination running for the same office,
what then? You don't suppose a con-
gregation is going to caucus and CEN
ire on one as against the other, do
you? Also it /, plain that it would
make a pretty kettle Of fish If one con-
gregation should array itself against
another of the same denomination
That is not likely to happen in politics
If 1t should happen 1t would certainly
not do the church any good and it
would not get anywhere.
but 1 grant you," the speaker con-
tinued, that denominationalism does
cut some figure in campaign; but it Is
along perfectly legitimate lines. and
with no reflection on anybody. For in
stance, look at it this way: In this

ments in business, social and educa
tional affairs. All of our more promi-
nent leaders are connected with one or
other of the denominations. If a can
didate happens to be at all prominent
in his church, it follows that his more
prominent and influential friends will
be members Of that same church and
other churches of the same denomina-
ton, and here will be the principal
basis of his support. Indeed it will
sometimes look like a denominational
affair But as matter of fact 1t is not
denominational. There is not single
denomination in tie county with
strength enough to elect anybody, and
should any candidate be so foolish as
to make an issue Of denominational-
ism, especially relying on his own de-
nomination, he would certainly be
licked. No, the churches are not in
politics; but don't let anybody foo
himself about the church not being a
powerful factor Without question II
is the greatest single influence in this
county, and if any man be doubtful
about that, just let somebody try the
glme of arraying himself against al
of the churches.
