SERMON MANUFACTURE in ENGLAND
-ln England there are peTsons-gen'
orally deposed clergymen or superan'
nuatcd acknowledgements make a
business of writing sermons for the
ministers Of the various sects, who
thereby save themselves this labor
and gain time for hunting, attending
race courses, &c, a good composer
can command about five English shil-
lings per sermon, and the Rector can
we'll afford this, as his living comes
by tilhes, out Of the public. Some ser.
mon makers can earn twenty or thir-
| ty pounds per year by the business.
No matter what are their private
doctrines or characters, be they inf
dels or knayes, If they can but write
sermons conforming to the standard
doctrine Of the Church, and they are
lolerably well written, 80 as to be
read without difficulty, they are suro
to find clerical purchasers. Rev. DIR.
Trusler made quite fortune good
many years ago by having facsimile
ola sermon composed by him, engra-
we'd on copper-plate from which he
took a great many Impressions aud
sold them all over the kingdom to cIer>
gymcn, who preached them to their
congregations as their own.
The eccentric but piOus Rev. Row
land Hill tells, in his Village Dia-
logues, lyOI. ii.sl37, J a pretty anccdote
illustrative Of the danger Of too many
clergymen purchasing copies of tho
same sermon for delivery. Il is as
follows:
"An cgregious blupder once hap.
pened even in the famous University
OF Cambridge at what Is commonly
called the Sound church; DR.. Trusler
has a notable seimon on these words,
''Sec that 20 fall not out by the wayH
And so Il tell out that il was preached
by different ministers in the same
Sound church three Sundays running.
Tho clerk on the fourth Sunday adj
monished the preacher not 20 give
them fourth edition Of "Seo that We
fall nc. out by the way" for that par
ish was all very peaceablo. " .rI
Thereby was that he had no other
IN his pocket, so that the people must
hear that or none. The reader would
not dispute thc probability Of this an
ecdOte If he knew after what sort Of
a fashion the churches in aud about
the nelghbOrhood Of the English Uni.
