“RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY” 
SuBjJEct OF SERMON At SUNDAY 
EVENING SERVICE AT MANCHES- 
TER CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 
“Religious Bigotry” was the title 
of the Sunday evening sermon at the 
Congregational church, Manchester. 
Rev. Charles A. Hatch said that the 
best example of religious tolerance 
was to be found in the teachings and 
life of Jesus Christ. He said that 
bigotry was found among the earliest 
followers of Christ and told of the 
answers of Jesus to the narrow ones 
among the disciples. 
“The history of the church is the 
history of bigotry,” he said. “In the 
second century after Christ the then 
universal church persecuted its mem- 
bers who did not accept the dogmas 
of ‘the leadersof, the church7)) giie 
told of the persecutions during the 
Reformation and of the horrors of 
the Spanish Inquisition. ‘Even in the 
present day there is a religious big- 
otry that is like a dragon waiting to 
pounce upon and devour religious 
liberty,” said the speaker. 
An anecdote, which is amusing in 
the present day, was related about a 
former Congregational minister. The 
Baptist minister in town was taken 
ill and was not expected to live. Feel- 
ing that he was doing his Christian 
duty, the Congregational minister call- 
ed upon the sick man and enjoyed a 
friendly chat with him. When it 
came time to leave he remarked, 
“Now, Mr. , 1f you do not get 
well this has been a call, but if vou 
recover you may forget about it and 
need not feel obliged to return the 
call.” A similar anecdote was related 
about a Baptist clergyman who caused 
a good deal of mental suffering for a 
woman in town by telling her that 
_ she could not be saved except by im- 
mersion. Mr. Hatch said that not 
only are conservative thinkers bigoted, 
but often the so-called liberal thinkers 
_are bigoted. 
“Bigotry is very common, but is 
terrible in its effects. Just now, af- 
ter 19 centuries of Christianity we are 
putting aside our bigotry and are 
joining hands as brothers in Christ,” 
he said. He cited as an example of 
this the Layman’s Missionary Move- 
ment. Phillips Brooks and Henry 
Ward Beecher were referred to as 
examples of men who were Christ-like 
and liberal. The speaker said those 
who are most narrow have made the 
least spiritual attainment. . 
“When a man is a bigot it is a sign 
that his spiritual growth has stopped. 
When a man says he has no use for 
another’s religious belief you may be 
sure that his spiritual pocketbook is
