In the Atlanta (Go.) Constitution of June 19, 1922, appeared the fol­
lowing article by Rev. Bom W. Small, noted Methodist evangelist:
Every true lover of hia fellow-man in Georgia, or anywhere else,
should rejoice that the majority of the board of education in Atlanta haa
refused to reject the iominationz of teachers in the city schools because of
their memberships in the Roman Catholic church.
In doing so they upheld the 13th paragraph of the Bill of Rights of the
Constitution of Georgia, which declares that "no inhabitants of this state
shall be molested in person or property, or prohibited from holding any
public office, or trust, on account of hia religious opinions,” etc.
There are few human idiosyncrasies more deplorable than religious
bigotry’. It haa been an acrid and sometimes fatal curse to other ages
and nations. Our fathers who founded this republic knew well its factional
and ihsiritegrating influences and determined to shut it out of our system
of civilization and government
far as human device could do it. They
knew what evils it ha! mothered in Massachusetts. Rhode Island imd Vir­
ginia. In the latter colony they had seen the conGiet arise that eventually
led James Madison to produce the famous remonstrance of 1785’, and Jeffer­
son to champion the “bill for establishing religious freedom” that became
law in January, 1786.
First Amendment
Strangely, however, in making the federal constitution its authors went
no further than to say (Art. vi, Sec. 3) that "no religious te.it shhll ever
be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United
States.”
The omission of a guaranty of religious freedom caused heated opposi­
tion to tho document in the conventions of several of the stales and ratifica­
tion of the constitution was finally achieved by pledgee from its Advocate«
that the omission would be cured by immediate amendment. Hence came the
first amendment, that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establish­
ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” etc.
That prohibition, of course, affected only the national congress and diJ
not bind any one of the states. But in the constitution of 1789 Georgia de­
clared (Art. hr, Sec. 4): "All persons shall have the free exercise of religion,”
etc. Nine years later, in 1793, a new state constitution was adopted and in
it was the provision, "oor shall any person be denied the enjoyment of any
civil right merely on account of his religious principles.” Equally strong
and specific declarations of religious freedom were written into the
quent state constitutions, in 1861, 1865, 1868 and 1877. So Georgia always,
as a free*state, has been openly committed to the policy of religious liberty,
and hence the marvel that in this year of grace, 1922, there should spring
up among us any flam«« of intolerance.
I am a Protestant of the strictest and straighteet sect, born of Coven­
anter stock, and could not imagine myself being a Romanist proselyte in a
raillion years. But if I believe there is a drop of bigoted religious prejudice
in my blood I should pop a lancet into one of my veins and let the dirty stuff
out of my system.
As a Protestant, the Catholics of America have no terrors for me. I
glory in the stunssdou» historic and progressive growth of Protestantism
against the world-wide oppositions of Roman Catholicism and see no future
chance that the latter will ever stay, or even overtake again, the growth of
anti-papalism throughout the world.
For 37 years I have been going all over America as an evangelist and
preacher of the Methodist interpretations of the gospel of Christ and have
enceu/itered no alarming signa that Romanism is an institution of "treason,
stratagems and spoils,” or a swelling menace to the rights, liberties and reli­
gious immunities of the vast Protestant majorities that dominate our nation.
Attended Catholic Academy
When my father, in 1865, for business reasons, removed his family
from Macon to New Orleans, he had to choose between putting his children
into public schools with negroes, or into the Catholic schools, where wh'"
children were protected from bi-racial contact and conflict. So for several
{rars I attended a, Catholic academy. One of my teachers was the famous
'ather Ryan and another was the afterwards Governor Blanchard. None of
my teachers tried to convert me to Catholism, or constrained me to follow
Catholic devotional regime, and when I won seven of ten prizes offered in
the course, not one of the books given as prizes was a Catholic volume. I
came out of that school as free and unaffected a Protestant as when I w6nt
into it, but brought away a profound respect for the fairness, kindness and
devotion of my teachers and associates.
Since then, for 55 years, 1 have known and had a genuine affection for
many good and great Catholics. What nobler soul would any man want to
know and love than Bishop Keiley of Georgia? or Archbishop John Ireland
of St. Paul ? And what finer citizens has Atlanta ever had than John
Flynn, Martin Dooley and John Stephens.
And who ever carried the banner of Atlanta over the nation more
gallantly and famously than Captain Joe Burke at the head of the old Gats
City guards. Why, he became so celebrated for his success as commander
of that unrivnled organization that when it was proposed to send it to Europe
in 1887 the British government refused to let it come upon English soil be­
cause Captain Burke is an Irish Catholic! What do you think of that*
Also, fellers, I have been in yellow fever epidemics in towns wherefrom
ail the Protestant preachers went flooey — God knows where — and only
the Catholic priests :m<l Sisters of Charity remained to nurse the sick and
bury the dead, and most of them perished at their prats of duty to God
and man.
That, too, is why I tjn no anti-Catholic bigot!
