IMPIETY
Whether one be irreligious, non-religious, sectarian,
non-sectarian, athiest, iconoclast, Buddhist, Mohamme
dan, Methodist, .Catholic, or others, one blushes with
shame that a woman can flaunt the name of Jesus Christ
for the purpose of making money.
Aimee Semple McPherson, who again is on the front
pages the past few days, is a golden dollar example of
what religion is coming to today. She moves like a circus.
She's a headliner wherever she goes. All that is lacking
in the parade are the elephants. In the name of Jesus
she calls upon her awe-stricken audiences to plunk down
for hte saving of souls. She’s a red headed virago against
sin, but its mighty lucky she doesn’t live in a glass house.
She feeds upon the religious discontent of the retir
ed farmers who flock to southern California and have
nothing else to do. She goes about saving souls at a dol
lar a soul, or $10, if she can get that much. Recently she
has been sowing her doctrine in France and England
where she knows business unrest will make those folk
come to her flaming torch and dig up their last dollar
that she may pay the expenses of her wonderful trip.
If there is such a thing as. harlotry in religion, Aimee
Semple McPherson is it. She is not only desecrating re
ligion in the name of the dollar but she’s making every
minister wonder why he isn t a millionaire himself Tomor-1
row she starts for the United States after mopping up'
across the sea. And we suppose she will be welcomed back
home with wild acclaim. Barnum was right, we guess.
TURKEY LONG ENJOYED
When Cortez, Spanish explorer, first broke bread
with the early Aztecs, King Montezuma served wild tur
key and Indian corn as outstanding viands at that ban
quet. Coronado found the cliff dwellers eating roast tur
key as one of their favorite foods. The Zuni Indians of
the Southwest have been familiar with turkey hunting for
centuries. Some of their most ancient legends and trad
itions are built around this particular bird.
Fourteen British journalists haVfe been studying
America during the past month. No doubt they got the
idea that our chief interests our politics and football.
Drinking of wood alcohol is being investigated by a
Federal grand jury in New York. Our guess is that its
finding will be that the habit is bad for one’s system.
