concocted by the president at this time
when organized groups. in the name Of
religion. are trying to destroy the very
foundations of Government, and disturb
ing the peace and happiness Of the citi-
zeDs prescribed by them in their fana-
ticism.
| am therefore following the Presi-
dents example in appealing to you as
citizens of a land over which floats the
symbol of freedom. religious and other
wise; a flag that knows no sect or creed,
but protects all alike under its folds; a
banner that will not permit one citizen
to persecute another because of his re-
Iigious confession, but will defend every
citizen against the demons of fanati-
cism. On this score | would plead for
fairness and justice to this congregation
and all who subscribe to the doctrines of
the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Fairness on the same basis as you are
fair to those who believe in the doctrine
you believe. Justice in the same mea-
sure as You would have it done
to you. And those who would have just
ice dOre to them must themselves be
just; if they desire fairness they must
likewise be fair. 1t should not be neces-
sary to ask this of a people protesting
Christianity. The Christian creed is love
for all mankind. and love and hate cannot
exist together in the same place and at
the same time. Hatred is born of ignor-
ance; love is the daughter of wisdom.
May this solemn occasion help to bring
about a happy spirit of cooperation
among the various sects in our midst.
May the demon of intolerance meet with
its death blow from this moment, and
may an era of peace and goodwill among
people of all creeds be forthwith ushered
in, here to abide until time shall be no
more.
