church problems in the Philippines,
ho declared that only a few extre
mists in this country had found any
oxcoptions thereto. 'But I venture
to say,' added tho president, 'that

country is broad enough for ell de
nominations to work together -for
the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man and for all of
us to llvo here as American citizens,

of religious belief.' "
