314 THE K I N G ’S BUS I NES S As the case now stands, silence can only mean sympathy with the views, methods and work of the destructionists. Will the silence be broken and the false teachers be Called to an account? We hope so. It will not be our fault if it is not. If the church papers would speak out plainly and unequivocally against the false teachers and their teaching; if the Bishops will stop putting a premium upon false teaching by no longer appointing to an important church a man who is known to disbelieve the Bible, deny its authority, and not to be in sympathy with Metho dist doctrines and usages; and, if the Bishops will put themselves squarely upon record as' uncompromisingly opposed to the teaching that denies the supernatural origin and historical trustworthiness of the Scriptures, predictive prophecy, mir acles and the absolute infallibility of Jesus Christ, and also of the Apostles in their writings, as found in the New Testament, then we believe the tide of unbelief will be arrested and turned, and there will come to the Methodist Church an era of prosperity and growth such as she has never before known. If this is not done, we believe spiritual dearth, confusion and tumult will continue and disruption ? will most surely follow. Brave words, true as Gospel. Would that the church leaders would read, ponder and profit by them. May God bless this manly man whose love for the truth enables him to deal honestly and openly concerning the peril so prevalent in his own and other religious bodies; and God bless the Eastern Methodist. May it have a growing constituency of loving, loyal, Bible Methodists. — - —T. C. II. C O -RELIGIONISTS Ex-President Taft, in an address to an audience of Jews, severely criticises Mr. Henry Ford for his Anti-Semitic propaganda. The ex-Presi- dent is an avowed and aggressive Unitarian, and it is very fitting that he should be associated with his co-religionists, the Jews, whose Sanhedrin nineteen hundred years ago condemned the Lord Jesus Christ to death, because He claimed to be the Son of God in the unique sense which made Him equal with the Father. The members of this Sanhedrin were all Uni tarians, and it was their Unitarianism which sent Christ to the cross. Saul of Tarsus, a member of the Sanhedrin, persecuted Christians unto death because they worshipped Jesus Christ as God, and liis Unitarianism could not tolerate such a procedure. • . . . The difference, however, between ex-President Taft and his Jewish friends of today, is that he claims to be a Christian, while they still profess the same attitude of mind toward Christ as their ancestors of the first century. In refusing to be called Christians they are more consistent than the ex-President. In the sixth century arose another Unitarian Movement, headed by Mohammed, just as antagonistic to the Deity of Christ as the Jews of that- day and the Unitarians of today. Ex-President Taft, in his opposition to the Deity of Christ, would be at home before an audience of Mohammedans, though he would differ from them in their polygamous teachings. On the basis of opposition to the Deity of Christ th'e ex-President might organize a federation of Unitarians, Mohammedans, Jews, Eddyites, Russellites, New Thoughtites, Theosophists, Buddhists, Shintoists, Confucianists. Liberal theologians, who believe that Christ was a superman, divine only as we are all divine, could join this federation on the same basis. Such a union of forces in opposition to the Deity of Christ would be a great world-wide
