National Reform Convention

By S. B. H.

If any one doubts the existence of a movement in this country to change our government from a strictly civil to a quasi-religious complexion, a glance at the program of the National Reform Association Convention, to be held in Boston on October 24, will set it at rest. Here are a few of the subjects to be discussed at that convention:—

“Civil Government ordained of God for Moral and Religious Influence.”

“The Secular Constitution of the United States the Death-Warrant of Our Nation.”

“The Responsibility of the Nation for the Moral and Religious Training of the Children in the Public Schools.”

“The Nation’s Obligation to Make a Constitutional Recognition of Christ the King.”

In the light of the foregoing subjects, it goes without saying that the principle of the separation of church and state enunciated by the Saviour in the language, “Render to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s,” should be revised; and the command be given to render to Cæsar not only the things that belong to Cæsar, but also the things that belong to God.
