That Georgia is honeycombed with
Mofmon missionaires; that some of
them &re serving as officers in the
ehurches of various religious denomi-
nations to whom Mormonism is a re
pugnant adomination, that some are
teaching the Sunday School classes of
auch churches; that the Mormon hier
archy is aiming at the control of the
politisce of the United States, and to
that end maintains a force of 4,000
Mormon missionaries—where some ,of
the assertions made recently in Atlan
ta by Dr. Homer McMillan, general
field secretary of the home mission
board of the Presbyterian church,
speaking at Nfbrth Avenue Presby
terian church in connection with the
home mission week drive inaugurated
throughout the Presbyterian churches
of the Southern states.
Dr. Dr. McMillan was speaking of
the divers and sundry religious cults
opposed to Christanity that either
have ooriginated in this country or
have been transplanted„ here from
other countries.
Every day at noon in Union Square
in the city of New York, he said, the
tolling of a bell turns the faces of Mo
hammedans towards faraway Mecca,
and in the city of Jackson, Miss., in
the heart of the Anglo-Saxon South, in
a flourishing' Mosque of the Moham
medan religion.
In the city of hicabo are hundreds
of worshipers of Confucius and Bud
dha, while in Los Angeles ar. flour
ishing branches of Theosphy and va
rious cults brought over from the
Orient.
From cultured Boston, he further
pointed out “comes Christian Science.”
while the Mormonism of Utah is
spreading its missionaries throughout
this countryvand the world.
“Last year the apostles of the Mor
mon hierarchy,” said Dr. McMillian,
"personally solicited 2,000,000 men
and women in this country. The
Mormon influence already dominates
three western states and reaches to
the heart of the national capital. A
traveler walking from Albesta, Cana
da, to Mexico City may spend every
night in a Mormon home. Less than
40,000.000 Americans out of a total
population of 110,000,00 are mem
bers of Christian churches. Can we
really call America a Chrisian na
tion?”
The world’s only bulwark against
Christianity, and today the Christian
church must save civilization as it
did in the days immediately following
the overthrow of Rome. Therein lies
the duty of the Christian churches of
the United States, for bolshevism is
lifting, its ugly head in this country.
“Elihu Root made the statement $>n
returning from Russia as head of the
special diplomatic mission,” said he.
“that eighty per cent of the bolshevik j
leaders were men and women who had «
come to this country and lived in the
slums of New York’s east side, that a
few hundred dollars expended in tak
ing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those
Russian immigrants would have saved
the allies millions of lives and billions
of treasure; that America failed and
civilization paid the price.”~Atlanta
Correspondent, The Macon News.
, These startling statements ar»
enough to cause every true American
to stop and think. With Mormonism
spreading over'the United States:
with the followers of Buddha and Mo
hammed multiplying, and with bol-
( shevism lifting its hoary liead in
many cities and sections it is high
time for protestant Christians to get
busy as never before. Then there is
the menace of 16,000,000 Catholics,
with their .‘1,000,000 voters—the bal
ance of power in almost every nation
al election—that must be reckoned
with sooner or later. Christianity is
the mudsill of our civilization. While
the majority of the Americans are
non-Christians, yet this country owes
| its growth, its very being—its g’*eht
j prosperity to the Christian religion,
j and those who believe jn the princi-
| pics of our government should stand
: by it during these times that seem to
| be trying the very souls of men. Bol-
! shevism should be vanished from our
| shores at- all cost, and militant Christ-
j ianity should triumph over all sorts
of sects and isms.—Madison Madi-
