Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Religion and Democracy: A Lecture Delivered Before the Society of Spiritualists, Assembled at Robinson Hall, New York, October 19th, 1873
They speculate in the funds of Trust Companies, take three per cent. A month, and, perhaps, at last run away with both capital and deposits. And now it appears that some people who thus devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers, are exercised about the godless character of our Constitution. They animadvert on the infidelity of such men as Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin. The Young Men's Christian Association has discovered that the founders of the Republic were ungodly men whose evil ways we must not imitate. They believe that the Lord will be well pleased to have us so amend the Constitution of the United States as to recognize his presence in the Government. They appear to discover no such recognition in the fact that we hire men to pray daily at the opening of the sessions of both Houses of Congress, and of all the State legislative assemblies in the country.
