PULPIT WARNED AGAINST
THE YELLOW PERIL OF
POLITICS.
A Consecrated Ministry Needed for
the Rural Church««.
By Peter Radfoid.
Lecturer National Fanners' I’nlon.
The farmera of thia nation bave on
their payroll 95,000 preachers and thia
uumber applying themselves diligent-
ly and exiluslvely to the religious
work at hand Is sadly Inadequate to
properly serve their respective com­
munities.
Those who put on eccle«issticsl
robes are In a measure free to unlock
every door to the human heart and
enter the secret chambers of reason
and every person should submit their
conduct to review and seek the coun­
sel of those divinely appointed mes­
sengers of life, but the moment the
minister closes the Bible and opena
the law book, he becomes a menace to
society.
The difficulty of keeping the preach­
er in the pulpit Is as old as religion.
Christ encountered It In the temple
when he drove the priests from the
bargain counter back to the pulpit.
Our pilgrim fathers met it when,
through the influence of the clergy, a
witch court was established at Salem,
Maes , in 161*2. that precipitated a legal
holocaust threatening to reduce the
population to ashes and which was ex­
tinguished by the laymen uniting and
forcing the preachers back to the pul­
pit
The greatest peril to the church to­
day Is politics. The temptation of the
ministry to throw down the cross of
ChrlBt and pick up the club of the
policeman; to substitute the penalties
of the law for the power of the altar
and to legislate religion Into human
hearts, never was greater.
The world never needed a religious
ministry more nor political preachers
less than It does today. We need min
Islers to leach us how to live; we
know bow to vote.
The religious preacher is the moat
capable servant and the political
piwacher the sorriest master the world
has ever known. Wherever power is
placed in the hands of the latter they
Invariably become intolerant, bigoted
and vicious and resort to the whip and
the faggot to enforce their opinion.
Civilization has many times been
compelled to drive Incorrigible preach­
ers back to the pulpit at the point of
the bayonet. Many of the pages of
history are wet with blood shed at the
hands of political preachers who wrote
laws on the statute book« that com­
mitted arson upon mankind, maimed
human beings with the hatchet and
s«nt helpless women to the torture
rack, all because they disagreed with
their views. When in control of gov­
ernment, the pulpit politicians invari­
ably undertake to perform legislative
miracles such ae casting out witches

Though professing great admiration
I of English everyday life, the kaiser
had a profound contempt for English
politics and politicians.
“Not one of your ministers," he said
to me on one occasion, "can tell bow

During his visits to England he evi­
dently took careful note of valuable
relics and memento« of bygone ngen.
and after one of them visits lie thus
expressed ills thoughts:
"Ah. you have never had a Napo­
leon to plunder and hum your country

boroughs, where would they have been

tures. to absorb It unconsciously Into
their mentalities! They must grow up
with a love of beautiful things. They
cannot help It. We have nothing of
the kind. Our houses were stripped
i
and burnt.”
Mixing Politics and Religion
Politics and religion will not blend.
No free government can long exist or
the church perform Its mission to
society when preachers and politicians
temporarily exchange callings, and a
civilization that will countenance
such conduct will soon decay, Such a
traffic in occupations ie as unsound in
principle as the white slave trade is
, Immoral in practice.
The hand that passes tl.j sacrament
should not collect slush funds for po­
litical purposes. The gentle voice that
comforts us in sorrow and pronounces
I the last sad rite« upon our departed
loved ones should not rave and rant on
\ the hustings. I do not believe a
preacher can manipulate political ma­
chinery and be righteous any more
than he could become a burglar and
be honest.
I think It as* immoral
for a preacher to seek to lobby while
he prays as it would be for him to
gamble while he preaches.
A preacher can no more preach a
political sermon without converting his
pulpit Into a political rostrum than
he could sell Intoxicating liquor from
the altar without converting the
church into a bar-room. He can no
more purify politics by playing the
game than he can sanctify gambling
by running a lottery.
I Join in the oft-repeated suggeetion
that a preacher has as much right in
political brawls as a saloon keeper and
we also admit that he has as much
right to get drunk as anyone else,
but we would rather he would not do
so for the "greater the saint the great­
er the sin," I think a political bishop
can turkey trot In the name of Chris­
tianity as consistently as he can enter
into a mud slinging political contest
to the disgrace of hiB church.
It is my opinion that when thia
world la saved ft will be through re­
ligious sermon« and not through poli­
tical speeches. Salvation must come
to us from the Bible and not from
the statute book; It will come through
holy councils of consecrated ministers
and not from caucuses of political
preacher«.

Rural life offers to young men days
of toil and nights of study. It offers
frugal fare and plain clothes, It of-
fers lean bodies, hard muscles, horny
hands and furrowed brows, It of-
fers wholesale recreation to the ex­
tent necessary to maintain the high­
est efficiency. It offer« the burden of
bringing up large families and train­
ing them in the productive life. It
offers the obligations of using all
wealth as tools and not as means of
self gratification, it does not offer
the insult of a life of ease, or aes­
thetic enjoyment, or graceful con­
sumption or emotional ecstasy. It
offers, instead, the Joy of productive
achievement, of participating in the
building up of a higher rural civiliza*
tion.
To young women also it offers toll,
study, frugal fare and plain clothes
such as befit those who are honored
with a great and difficult task. It
offers also the pains, the burdens and
responsibilities of sacred motherhood.
It offers the obligation and perpetua­
tion in succeeding generations the
principles of the productive life made
manifest in themselves. It does not
offer the insult of a life of pride and
vanity. It offers the Joys of achieve­
ment, of self-expression not alone
in dead marble and canvas, but also
in the plas'ic lives of children to be
shaped and moulded into those ideal
forms of mind and heart which their
