Did You Write To Your Senator, Representative And Postmaster?

Pryde E. Hinton

As soon as I learned about the treatment of the missionaries in Italy, I sat down and wrote to my representatives in Washington, as well as to some in other states. As soon as I saw Brother Luther W. Martin's article, "Will the U. S. Print 'Roman Catholic Postage Stamps' ?", I wrote to Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield, Washington, D. C., and protested the use of the U. S. Post Office Department to propagate sectarian dogma, Catholic or otherwise. Did you? I was recently astounded to hear Brother O. C. Lambert say that it was the writing of letters and sending of wires by the Baptists and others that turned the tide for the boys in Italy in the former persecution. I think he said that they did even more than the members of the church in this respect. We had better wake up to the great threat of Catholicism in these United States, brethren. Therefore we had better get our hearts right, if they aren't, and "hang together," else we shall, as someone said a long time ago in another matter, "hang separately." "It can happen here!"
