Against Legalized Lynching

The man who wants lynching legalized (and there is said to be one, and he a minister) is neither a patriot nor a Christian. If he were a patriot, he would have faith in the justice of his country's legal tribunals and executive authority. If he were a Christian, and had no faith in men, he would be willing to leave the determination of those cases in which human justice seemingly falls short, to Him who says, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay."
