Riding Two Horses.

By Editor

The Christian Statesman for February has the following:

A Baptist Minister in Washington, D. C.—I note, with very great pleasure, the intelligence of my being elected a delegate to the Portland Conference. I accept with appreciation this distinguished honor, because I believe that the principles held by the National Reform Association are the safeguard of our national life, and will ultimately triumph throughout the world; for it is as true to-day as when it was uttered that "the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." I will do all in my power to push forward this great and laudable movement.

Now that Baptist minister has either repudiated Baptist principles concerning union of religion and State, or he does not know National Reformism. It looks as if he were trying to ride two horses going in opposite directions at the same time. The fact is, he is riding backwards to destruction the pretty swift National Reform pony.
