tion means loss of prestige and wan
ing of political Influence.
We had a practical demonstration
of that fact throughout the nation
during the presidential campaign last
year, and especially was it manifest
ed In Mississippi. Political activity
among certain members of the clergy
destroyed their own influence and
weakened the morale of members. In
a goodly number of instances their
resignations were requested. These
would-be dictators lost the respect
and confidence of all right-thinking
people.
Bishop Freeman hit the nail
Bquarely on the head when he de
clared that "the maintenance of any
organized system designed to coerce
legislators or to dictate legislation,
state or national, is utterly foreign
to a right conception of the church's
function. We have condemned, and
rightly so, the influence brought by
organized lobbies to affect legisla
tion in the interest of certain cor
porate bodies that are seeking a sel
fish advantage. It Is equally repre
hensible for the church, or any of
its chosen agencies, to use like
methods."
Whenever the church, through or
ganized effort, has attempted to di
rect and control political action and
thus has departed from its specific
spiritual functions, it has lost pres
tige and signally weakened its in
fluence. Its place as the conserver of things
ethical and spiritual is undisputed.
It has to do with principles rather
than policies. If it lowers Its stand
ards to become an autocratic dictator
in the concerns of legislative action
or the choice of political candidates,
It will inevitably destroy its own mis
sion. We are living in a new age of bet
ter understanding and kindlier judg
ments. The ties of fellowship are
more closely knit and a better spirit
is abroad. To halt the progress of
this spirit or to seek to impair in
any wise its growth, is to do violence
to the highest and best Interests of
life.
The founders of the republic made
clear the distinction between church
and state. The state should not
trench on the prerogatives of the
church, nor should the church seek
to Intrude upon the political con
cerns of the state. This principle
has been carefully preserved and
maintained throughout our history.
Only in the past year has its con
sistency been questioned or its valid
ity challenged. A. subtle effort was
put forth in certain places to revive
old animosities and to renew old sus
picions. The right of each man as to his
preferences as well as to his political
ideals and principles is unquestioned.
That right must always be maintain
ed in a democracy such as ours. This,
however, does not imply the right to
foster and promote an organized
movement, based upon prejudices or
denominational conceits.
That we have the supreme right to
judge men and parties by moral and
ethical standards is generally conced
ed, but this does not mean the meas
uring of men and parties by their re
spective religious shibboleths or affil
iations. :o:

The following advertisement ap
peared in the New York Times under
the heading "Educational":
"Learn the beautiful and useful
Italian language by a refined gentle
man, vho will be pleased to coach
and teach you at your abode or office.
Address Mr. Papa, care Dr. Pratt. 38
West 34th, Pennsylvania 0025."
Granting that Italian is beautiful.
for beauty we prefer Latin. And un
less one is an opera singer or a dip
lomat, wherein is Italian so useful?
Even though one goes as a tourist
to the realm of Mussolini, he can part
with his money in English as well as
in Italian.
Nor is it true that in the United
States all the bootleggers are Ital
ians. It is possible to buy in English
whatever one wants.
