N ewberg Much was said and written -during the campaign a b o u t the religious views o f Taft, with a view of prejudicing voters against him, and since he was -elected the following, which was handed to the editor by a Graphic reader, will no doubt be read with interest. Dr. John W. Hill, pastor o f the Metropolitan Temple, New York, an M. B. church says: “ I regard him as the most con sistent conscientious Christian gentleman I have ever known in public life. The question ot a man’s religion should not enter in to a political campaign. The American people have never pro posed a religious test either for •citizenship o r election to office. In fact few o f our Presidents have been members of the church. -George Washington attended the Episcopal church, but he was not a member. Abraham Lin coln believed in all the churches, but was connected with none. When he first appeared as a presi dential candidate Free Thinkers claimed him as their representa tive and many objected to him up on the ground that he was an un believer. Their objections how ever, were soon removed, for it was not long after the C ivil w ar t>roke out that Mr. Lincoln be came known as a man of prayer, and not only so, but as a Chris tian in all that is essentially in volved in the name. “ Mr. Taft is a member ol the Unitarian church. As a Unitari an he is a conservative, which school is known in New England as the Congregational Unitari ans. He believes jn God, in the Scriptures, in the influence and agency in the Divine Spirit, and -in the character, work and mis sion o f Christ. He belongs to the school o f Edward Everett Hale who is at this time chaplain o f the United States Senate, whose prayers are all offered in the name o f Christ. “ Then, taken aside Irom this mere outward profession, Mr. T a ft actually embodies the great Christian qualities in his charac ter. I have never known a more patient, kind, gentle, forgiving, pure-minded,conscientious, stain less man. No word o f criticism has ever been spoken against his integrity. He stands lor the best in society and in the state. He is identified with the Christian in the great cause ’o f foreign mis sions. He is everywhere in de mand upon great missionary oc casions and in Carnegie hall elec trified Greater New York by a missionary address. «• G raphic .r j NEWBERG, YAM HILL OOUNTY.

It may be interesting to know that besides the 60 children on hand at the Receiving Home at Portland the Society has under its care throughout the state of Oregon nearly 600 children. These children are placed out in family homes under the super vision ot the Society’s agents. A report is made to the office on every case visited, telling them how the child is getting along and whether they would recom mend it to remain in its place or not.
