Iteasomer, pastor of the Court Street Christian church, preached a sermon yesterday on "What Should Me the Christian's Altitude Toward the Present Cam paign." "I do not know what Smith's at titude toward the Kniilii Catholic church will be If elected," said the pastor, "but I believe his first al legiance would be to the pope of, Koine and his allegiance lo the1 I'nited States would be second." j Keasoner said he had nothing against the Catholic church as a religion but was afraid of its pot-; Itlcal power. "The pope recent y Issued a manifesto," said the speaker, "in which he declared that Jesus Christ Is the universal king. How ?ver, this Is to be taken as mean ing that the pope is the vicar of; Christ. Therefore he is the ruler of the universe." He did not pretend to know what Smith would do as president, but he said, "I would not jeo ordr' my liberty by voting for him." Staling that the ages of the nine justices of the Culled States sup reme court range from "0 to !'0 years, the minister said he believed that the next president would have the appointing of the majority of their successors. He said be fear ed that if Smith was the man to do the selecting he would appoint men who would declare the I Sth amendment unconstitutional. The pastor said a Iso that t he : Christian should not vote for I Smith because of his connection with Tammany. j He prefaced bis remarks by say-t I lug "the moral issue of the cam- 1 i naign hurls a direct challenge to i the best interests of America, and j every Christian should vote in bar-! ! mony with the will of God." j I OKKGOX Gori:its 1,RI i I (Continued from Page One.) j fray although nil were Invited to, compete.
