Tliis is convention
Ri I boners a"d e
week for White
exiert to plan
1 rgely for the year's wo-k. An ont -
jiuh ri nrr, r r rn a tour vi na crivpn
n xt e k. Iii tlie YorniK people's
meeting Sunday uiiiht the thought of
he ng niich in prayer ws enii na
si zed; so w onpht, in this branch of
the Masttr's work, to piny withoa
ceasing tlia' the raog.g frr which we
luh r may trinmph beyond onr fondest
hope.
The man who hvt week had "such
qar feelings" m gtit with all
j propriety look himself sqnarely In the
face knd ask hiu a-If a f . w searching
questions. To begin with: "Are
you, John Jnis, fast becom'ng a
arnnkard? Are yoa tree aud honest
to yoor own bst self aud yoor God?
Are you, who (ride yourself on yoor
patriotism, a law abiding cit lent If
no, why do yoo cont une tkiog the
po'son which i fa-t ki ling the man
h od within you? Why dn you help
tl'e liquor dealer evarie the law yon
helped to niakeT In short, are yoa
the niun you wish the wotld to think
you are? May God help yon to an
swer honestlf tliesi" questions and give
yoo strength to beconi the man He
n ten led you should be."
( olonel H gg nsson, when asked t
name the incident of the Ciyil War
that lie considfien the most reumrk-
abln for bravery, sid that tiera was
in his leguuent a uihu whom every
one liked ; a lu in who whs brave and
uohle; who whs pore in his daily life,
absola ely free from the disi-ipatious
in which most of the other men in
dulged. One night at a champagne
snpper wheu many wt-tebecomingJn-tosuateri,
somebody, in jest, called
for a toast from thin young man. Cilo
ni'l Higginsrn mid that he arose,
pale, but with perfect self possession
and said: "Genileuieu, I will give
yon a toast which yoa may drink as
yoa will and which I will drink, if
yon please In water. The toast that
I have to give is 'Oar mothers.' "
Instantly a strange spell seemed to
ooniM over all those tipsy men. They
drank the toast In silence. There
was no more laughetr, no taore song,
and one by one they slunk oat of the
room. The lamp of memory had be
gun to burn and the name of
'mother" touched every man's heart.
-Selected. PRESS OOR,
Communicated
Editor Courier As there seems to
be an effort on foot to inject the
ditcascion of religions questions Into
the present presidential campaign,
ish to tell your readers jut what
I think about It.
In the first plaoe, it is very unwise
and un-American to prejudice the
claims of any candidate for office on
account of his religious belief. The
fathers of this republio very wisely
provided against religious legislation.
They knew, as every studeut offhis-
torv knows today, that there had al-
wys been less liberty in a theocracy
than in any other form of govern
ment. They could foresee the dangers
to which the people w ould be expoted
if too much aothorltv should be given
to the so called clergy.
It ii raid that Mr. Taft should uot
, be e'ected because he believes in Qui
j tariaiii-m. Now I b-1 eve that Mr.
Taft phoold not be elected, bat uot on
account of his religion, bat because
Mr. Bryan represent a better plat
form of political principles. I shall
do all that I can to secure the election
of W. J. Bryan, but while I am doing
this, shall keep up my record for
political and religions fairness aud
take no undue avdantage of my op
ponents. As Indivluals, Taft and
Bryan are both olean men. Politic
ally, Mr. Taft represents that dais of
men who are seeking to absorb the
wealth of this country through clans
higslatlon, while Mr. Bryan repre
sent that class of men who believe in
equal rights to all and special privi
leves t) none. I honestly think that
Mr. Bryants far iu advance of Mr.
Taft as a stateaman.
If Mr. Taft; is a Unitarian, it only
proves that his religion is In advance
of his politics. It proves that he
knows something about tbe Bible.
Jesos Chrii-t, himself, was a Unttar-
'an. He believed in the ultimate
trlupmh of all good and the final de
struction of all evil. This Is Uni
tarian sm in a notuhell. Tbe unitar
ian believes that we rhould be free to
inveetidBte any and all qntstionsand
that no Iron-bound cretd should be
imposed ss a test of church fellowhip.
Tbe snpert til ions of the pa-stare
laesing away, and the time is coming
when all men will do right for tbe
sake of right.
