Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Relation of Church and State: A Sermon Preached by the Reverend Claris Edwin Silcox in the First Church of Christ, Fairfield, Conn., October 23, 1921
No, men and women, we Christians can not afford to supplant true religion by mere patriotism, and the fundamental Christian love of all humanity, virtuous and errant, which so loves the world that it gives it self for the world, by mere love of country, howsoever sublime and noble that love of country may be. Edith Cavell taught us that love of country was not enough and because she believed that love of country was not enough, she found it easier to love her country unto the death. No girl can afford to receive the devotion of a man who loves not honor more than herself, and no nation can afford to receive the allegiance of one who owns no higher allegiance to Almighty God.
