I presume that I shall net hs aeoamd sC •acrllsge in referring to the Chlasss god as an inferior work of art Viewed simply from an artistic and uuimswleisl standpoint, It mams to me that the Chlaaman Mould have less pride In his how-lsggod and Inefficient god than In any ate national indtution.

I de not wish to be nndsiHsad as interfering with any man's religious views but when polygamy Is msds a divine decree, or a bam-wood deity Is whittled out and painted red, to look up to and to worship, I cannot treat that so-called rsllgloas bellsf with oourtesy and reverence.
