The writer who gave the ad- vice is not alone in what we con- ceive to be a mistaken zeal for a particular denomination. Hardly a denominational paper comes to our notice that does not contain some article or statement calculated to arouse or encourage prejudice, or to insult the membership of some other great church organization which is doing its full share of good in the world. No souls are ever won to Christ by such writings. What some editors of religious papers need is a little less denominationalism and a tour of the west and is co-operating with Senator Bob in his «florts to defeat President Taft and col.
