In the Evening Bulletin on Monday
night this little clipping appeared,
written by DR.. William T. Ellis, of
SwarthmOre, Pa, and whom many
have probably heard as Chautauqua
lecturer on this circuit. lAs election
day is near and his view of voting so
thought provoking, maybe more would
enjoy reading it than had an Oppor-
tunity in the Philadelphia paper. DR..
Ellis says, "No citizen really possesses
any more religion than he practices
on election day. The voting booth is
the laboratory wherein the acid test
is applied to a persons faith. If relig-
ion has done nothing for mans cit
izenship, then it has done nothing for
his soul. Prayer meeting confessions
that do not accord with election day
practices indicate that on one Occa-
sion or the other the Christian is a
hypocrit If good men and women
could not be counted upon by bad pol
iticians to leave their religious con-
victions at home on election day there
would be no use in a political ma
chimes trying to live; for good people
are in the majority; and whenever
their righteousness becomes really
operative it dooms the Organization
type of politics.
politics has no place in religion;
but religion expresses itself in poll
tics. When a Christian life pray Thy
will be done in heaven and his ballot
prays The bosses will be done on
earth what does he really mean? Re-
ligion that does not work out in civic
is entirely out of en-
Give the devil the votes and
he will not care who gets the hallelu-
jahs.
Preachers who write letters en-
dorsing the candidates Of corrupt
combinations of predatory politicians
should not complain if their endorse
ment of GOdliness also goes unheed-
ed. Does the fact that so many citi-
zens do not vote at all signify that
they have Obeyed the injunction, vote
as you pray?"
