COMBINED CHURCH oLIGARCHY
AND POLITICAL MACHINE
Protestant churches have been foremost in the hue
and cry against the combination of church and state.
But churches human institutions composed of hu-
individuals, and human nature is always to

socialist is an individual who demands that the
rich share their wealth with the poor whether the poor

labor agitator is who demands that the
employer share his business with his employees whe-

And so we are confronted with HUMAN NATURE

against Catholics and vice And the sincerity of
Protestant agtators becomes Immediately evident when
they try to arrogate to themselves the very political ana
