[Anaheim (Cal.) Herald]
There is something out of tune about this present uproar concerning the action of the Secretary of War in appointing three chaplains for the Army from the Christian Scientists. It jars on the nerves of many fair-minded men who feel that now, when the whole fabric of civilization and Christianity is in danger of destruction, there is something too patently narrow about the whole criticism to stand the light. Now, it would seem, is the time when dogma of sect and creed should be thrust aside, and all efforts turned toward the common enemy. The united concert of churches is upholding the cause of democracy, and chaplains have been selected from all denominations to minister to the needs of the boys in the service. The records show conclusively that no particular church has a monopoly on patriotism, and thousands of Christian Scientists are in the Army ready to die, if necessary, to preserve democracy, which carries with it the idea of religious freedom of thought. It should be borne in mind that when the peace treaties are signed and the democracy of the world dictates those terms, there will be little hope of permanent peace unless the spirit of brotherhood has in a measure smoothed out the boundary lines between sects and creeds and has broadened the viewpoint of the nations of the world to an international plane.
