CHRISTIANITY AND POLITICS

1t is one reproach against our so-called Chris
tan civilization that a great many of our people
seem to leave their. Christianity behind when they
get into politics They feel it is supremely neces-
sary to win primaries and elections and secure
support of their political organizations, and that
they cannot do these things if they attempt to fol-
low Christian policies.
The keynote of Jesus Sermon on the Mount may
be found in the words, "Seek We first the kingdom
of God" That is the pursuit of righteous and UNI
selfish aims was in his mind to be the guiding prir-
eiple of peoples lives.
far from being dominant in politics. Political cor
ruptness is constantly being discovered throughout
the various sections of state and nation which
have great tendency to make the average law
abiding citizen lose faith in his fellowmen and his
government. The general tone of politics in the
United States is low, although there are many con-
scientious people in the game who are doing the
best they can. -.
People underestimate the power Of courage and
righteousness to win adherents. Somehow when a
man like Theodore Roosevelt, and many others who
could be cited, rises in firm independence and
takes stand for righteousness, the people flock
to become his followers. If we had more leaders
willing take this strong and courageous attitude
in behalf of good political causes and human prog
ress, the ideals of Christianity would come nearer
being accepted in politics.-Beach Haven On. j.

SELLING OUT

To The Christian Science Monitor:
America has selected patron saint and Is
following his example-the frst-born son, the IN
hertor of priceless opportunities for leadership
who, because he was hungry, threw away those OPP
portunities cast discretion and common sense TO
the winds, and traded all his hopes for the future
and his right to be prince and leader for mess
of "savoury pottage.'
Today this nation is doing the same. Our legis-
lators cannot find money to carry on our struggling
schools or libraries, but fastened to legalze beel
race-track gambling, and easy divorce. They can
not solve the critical problems of poor relief taxes,
ETC., but send commissions and delegations to Can
ada to study CD their liquor-selling system!
Down in their hearts Americans know that the
liquor traffic prolific cause Of crime, disease
weakness poverty, vice and moral degradation, but
we are going to tolerate it because-we need the
money.
Esau could have lived many days longer, had he
found nothing at all to eat on that memorable eve
ming. For the sake of one supper he forfeited all
his future. America with more money than any
other country, with huge natural resources, only
needs proper coordination to rise from the depres
sion stronger than ever But she is deliberately
abdicating the high place to which she was divlney
appointed, and throwing away her unequaled OPP
portunities.
Esau did not make mistake-he sold out. We
are doing the same. He knew what the conse-
uuences would be- So do we, but-we need the
money.
In the recent presidential campaign, solemn, en-
phatic assurances were given that 1.-The saloon must

Those promises have been utterly disregarded. Beer

Constitution, but then, we need the money, and
