Americanism in Religion [Illustrated]

DURING the presidential campaign of 1908 an attempt was made to inject into it the question as to the religious belief of the republican candidate for president of the United States—Mr. Taft. A number of letters on the subject were written to President Roosevelt from various parts of the country but he answered none of them during the campaign. After the campaign was over, however, the president wrote an answer to one as an answer to all, and made the letter public, and it was published in the newspapers throughout the country. The letter as an exposition of true Americanism in religion met with approbation from all sides, but as it was not in permanent form for preservation the compiler of this book felt that a service would be done the American people by having it made so, inasmuch as he felt that it was something which should be preserved for reference in every library in our country.
