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.

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.
