There are bills before the two houses of Congress to restrict immigration. One has a writing test, and the other a reading test. It has been declared that these are un-American; and they are. Really, a writing test is no particular test at all as to the character of an individual. Sometimes men of education are the very worst citizens. They are agitators and anarchists. On the other hand some foreigners who are unable to read or write would make commendable, earnest citizens in a community. They would not add much to its strength in an intellectual way personally, but they would build up good homes, and their children would be sent to school. Not education, but character, ought to determine citizenship. It is character which will determine the citizenship in heaven. God will not ask of the individual whether he can read or write, but, Is he one who has so submitted to the government of heaven that God's law can be read in his life and on his heart?
