The furmern or IIiIh nation have on
llielr payroll !i.',,ii00 preacher and thin
ii u in her applying theuiHelvcH diligent
ly and exrliiHl voly to the religion
work at hand 1h Hndly inaileqiiute to
properly nerve their renpectlve com
lllllllltlcH,
Tliimo who put on ecclcBlnntlcal
rohex are In a ineaMtire free to unlock
every door to the human heart and
enter the aecret chambers of reaon
and every pernon Hliould submit their
conduct to review end seek the coun
sel of those dlviii' appointed nine
sengi rs of life. : the moment the
milliliter closes the lilhle and opens
the law book, he 1 cronies a menace to
society.
The difficulty of keeping the preach
er In the pulpit Is as old as religion.
ChrlRt encountered It In the temple
when he drove the priests from lbs
bargain counter hack to the pulpit.
Our pilgrim fathers met It when,
through the Influence of the clergy, a
witch court wan established at Salem,
Mans., In 1 1; 2 , that precipitated a legal
holocaust threatening to reduce the
population to ashes and which was ex
tinguished by tha laymen uniting and
forcing the preachers back to the pul
pit.
The greatest peril to the church to
day Is politics. The temptation ot the
ministry to throw down the cross of
Christ and pick up the club of the
policeman; to substitute the penalties
of the law for the power of tke 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
isters to teach us bow to live; we
know how to vote.
The religious preacher Is the most
capable servant and the political
preacher the sorrleBt master the world
has ever known. Wherever power Is
placed la 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
ere 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
lawB on the statute books that com
mitted arson upon mankind, maimed
human beings with the hatchet olid
sent 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
j with the flume of a torch, suborning
conscience with shackles and enforc
I lug opinions with the guillotine.
Mixing Politics and Religion.
I'olltlcs 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 w ill soon decay. Such a
traffic In occupations le as unsound In '
principle aa the white slave trade Is
immoral In practice.
The hand that passes the sacrament
should not collect Blush funds for po
litical purposes. The gentle voice that
comforts us In sorrow and pronounces
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
i by running a lottery.
I join In the ort repeated suggetion
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-
I 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'HlingtiiK political contest
j to the disgrace of lils church.
