438 T HE K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S Dunlap Baptist Church and the Bethany Baptist Church published notice of their withdrawal of fellowship with the Plymouth Church until it should publicly disown the shameful betrayal of our Lord Jesus Christ. Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Lockwood, and others belonging to this unholy brotherhood, should read Hebrews 10:28, 29. “ He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses. Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he he thought worthy who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the cove nant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” —T. C. H. H& i 5^14. gfe» sfe A BIBLE-BANISHING BISHOP The title of a new book is “ Communism and Christianism” , the author being a Bishop in the,Protestant Episcopal Church (or, rather, he was). He styles himself in a paragraph under a picture of himself in regulation robes as “ The Right Reverend Montgomery Brown, D. D., member of the House of Bishops, Protestant Episcopal Church, some time Archdeacon of Ohio,” etc., etc. Under the title on the first page are these words: “ Banish the gods from the skies, and capitalism from the earth, and make the world safe for Industrial Communism.” The following is the dedication: “ This booklet is gratefully dedicated to the proletariat from whom Bishop and Mrs. Brown are sprung, and to whose unrequited labors (not to the good providence of a divinity) they “ Whoever buys this booklet under the impression that, because its author is a member of the Episcopal Church, and of her House of Bishops, and a citizen of the United States, it must be in support of Christian orthodoxism and Capitalist Democratism, will soon be disillusioned; for, from beginning to end, the contrary is the truth, the endeavor throughout being to have readers see religious things from the Darwinian, and political things from the Marxian viewpoints, and the«« are not at all the points of view afforded for the seeing of such things by Christian ism and Capitalism.” The bishop (God'save the mark!) commences with a full-fledged lie. Whatever he has in this land of ours—this good land—purchased at a great price and founded on the Bible—he owes to the Christian churches an4 schools which gave him whatever of ability he may have, his position, the comforts of home, the clothes he wears, the food he eats. If he ,were_ in Russia—where he belongs—he would be standing in the bread line waiting for a hand-out. We would not waste space in our pages, or the patience of any of our readers with any lengthy quotations from this book of 200 pages, now in its sixth edition, 75,000 copies having already been printed. The copy we have in hand was given to one of our workers by an I. W. W. at a park meeting. Suffice it to say that this “ bishop” (!) denies in toto the B ib le - Old and New Testaments. He says. “ No man can consistently be both a Socialist and a Christian.” Again he says: “ The one God of the Jews and the triune God of the Christians, if taken seriously, are superstitions; and the Bible revelation of their willings, and record of their doings, if taken literally, are lies.” ’ owe their wealth, leisure and opportunities.” On the outside back cover is this inscription:
