SCHUESSELE FRANKLIN BEFORE THE LORDS IN COUNCIL. WHITEHALL CHAPEL, LONDON, 1774] _BENJAMIN FRANKLIN_ _As Politician and Diplomat_ THREE Franklin prepared himself unconsciously for political life even in his boyhood, when he wrote articles for his brother's newspaper attacking the established religious and political system of Massachusetts.

ll for Benjamin Franklin. Regarding religion, he early revolted against New England Puritanism and went through various stages of belief; but in his old age he had faith in the immortality of the soul. His tolerance led John Adams to say: “The Catholics thought him a Catholic. The Church of England claimed him. The Presbyterians thought him half a Presbyterian, and Friends believed him a wet Quaker.” Of his morals he has himself written, and he prepared a moral code with comments. Intellectual, practical, industrious, capable and genial, combining so many qualities in one mind and with a vast amount of public work achieved, Franklin remains a puzzle, for he seems to have had abundant time to enjoy those social talents which amounted to genius.
