Christ and Municipal Politics

A MINISTER, “professor of sociology,” writing in the Northwestern Christian Advocate of April 4, says: “So long as leading citizens keep their eyes shut, I am inclined to believe that Jesus, if he were to come to Columbus [Ohio], would disregard his feelings, and mix in municipal politics, as he did in ecclesiastical politics, and even go so far as to break up a den of robbers in the city hall, as he did in the temple at Jerusalem.” If these ministers would study Christ and his divine principles, rather than the sociology of sinful men, they would have a far better knowledge of both Christianity and sociology.
