Exclusion from the National Reform Convention
By Editor
NOTWITHSTANDING that the official call of the National Reform Convention sent out by H. H. George, Field Secretary of N. R. A., stated that "all Christian societies and communities are invited to send delegates," Dr. A. H. Lewis, Seventh-day Baptist, was debarred as a delegate. He was allowed by scant courtesy to speak a few minutes, but was not as a delegate permitted to take part in the discussions. But all this is characteristic of the principle of the movement. We do not object to their shutting out from their conventions any person they choose, but we do object to the assumption that they are the only Christians, or that a "mass meeting" belongs to them.
