"Hate is a grand, a strong quality! It makes nations, it builds up creeds! If men loved one another what should they need of a Church?"

Any political movement directed against any body of our fellow-citizens because of their religious creed is a grave offense against American principles and American institutions. It is a wicked thing either to support or oppose a man because of the creed he possesses. . . . Such a movement directly contravenes the spirit of the Constitution itself.
