faith would certainly enter into one’s candidacy for Pres-

tion with arms if the occasion demands.
Another much-respected group of people is very so-
cialistic in its beliefs, building huge community store-
houses and dividing their riches in a socialistic system
that we, as Americans, could not abide politically.
AS AMERICANS and Christians, we are not preju-
diced against these people because of their faith, but
we are fearful that their beliefs, as the highest leader
of our land, could affect or weaken certain civil liber-
ties that we cherish.
In opposing a Catholic President, we must be ex-
tremely careful not to stoop to the same tactics that we
are opposing: the mixing of church and state, and the
intolerance toward those whose beliefs are not our own.
NOW COMES A MAN, candidate for President, who
^presents intolerance for religion and co-existence of
church and state. We do not believe, therefore, that it
la a matter of religious intolerance to oppose a candi-
date who represents a religio-political order whose hier-
archy stands for religious intolerance. Let no one de-
ceive you into thinking, “I can only prove my tolerance

Similar legislation is sought for other states. Malay has “freedom
of religious practice,” but not freedom of propagation.”

missionaries to enlarge their work in Japan ”
These are but a few of the news items that come from
missionary publications that fall across my desk. This is not to
discourage you, my brethren, but it is to encourage you to sOe
the great possibilities. It is to challenge you to sacrifice, to truly
fast and pray as did the church at Antioch and then send
away workers into the field.
