STEPHEN S. WISE.
Kabbi Stephen S. Wise, of Portland,
bas wakened some of the Hebraic dead
in the effete East by promptly declin
leg a rail from the greatest temple
within the gift of that people, ia the
whole country, upon the ground that ha
would preach only from an "unmunled
pulit" Good for Or. Wise! It ia
pity there are not more like him in,
and out, of hi faith. The idea of
leader with a "ring in hi note" is con
temptible, and toe men wbo give np
their live to the tremendous task of
guiding men and women to the height
of wi adorn and virtue and right living
hould be, beyond all other, free from
the restraint of cliquery and elaquery
and answerable only for the in of
trmnKresinir the law of moral. The
doctrinal law can take rare of itself
and will do ao, just a it ha for the
unnumbered etnturiet it ha contended
for exist nee. Such manliness as hi
in boldly standing for an unfettered
expression of tha best that i in him
to do acd say for the real good of the
people, i a monumental example that
many another pastor might well follow.
Unhappily, the pulpit of the country
are dominated by the influential few of
the congregations, and the men wbo
are supposed to teach, direct, care for
and pilot the erring, lustain and help
the trong, and do for all, what the
Master did for the world of men, are
hampered at every turn of their careers
by the limitations set up for them by
people they are supposed to govern
under the code of morality and' the
ethics of religious life. It i a pity
there are not more preacher with the
backbone of Rabbi Wise. The pulpit
might be far more potential than it is,
and the churches have leas to complain
of by way of attendance and support.
There are exception to this course of
restriction, certainly, but th-y ire won
derfully in the minority considering
the vastneo of the profession' and the
infinite scope of it calling in this
world.
