Br the Associated Press. i ATLANTA, Ga. July 26—An open letter warning Baptist ministers of | Georgia to shun politics appeared today in the Christian Index over the signa- | ture of John D.

All political issues have | moral questions. This is no exception Your power as a minister is of grace and not of the law. If men are saved from these evils through your ministry | it must be grace through faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. When you throw aside the “wisdom of God” and the “power of God” from your pulpits and hold up to your people instead the plat- form or candidate of any political party | and expect by that to save men from the sin of intemperance or any other you will only become as sot ss and tinkling cymbals * * * Example of Christ. Dr. Mell asserted that there was only one name to be given in a pulpit for “the salvation of men. and that is His name (Jesus Christ)."” He, Himself, when He was in the body on earth, never made any political speeches in his sermons. Nor did any of His disciples.
