of his flock:
am now in my 18th year, and have been in the
ministerial off little upward OF half centuy.-
During the long course OF my ministry, ten years oc-
cupyng the old homestead, and upwards of forty in
my present location, and under different phases of
the political atmosphere, never saw it my duty, or
telt the slightest inclination to preach what is gener
ally called political sermon. And if by word,
or even insinuation from the pulpit ever disturbed
or interrupted the feelings OF political hearer |

canvass tor any man. even my most favorte political
friends. And when thought proper to offer my suf-
frage at the polls, it always done by q silent
vote, In an unobtrusve manner. do not know that
ever gained vote secretly or Indirectly for any
man. Indeed always thought it unbecoming the
gravity the dignity and sacredness of the pulpit

people for the ambassador of Heaven, to turn aside
from his Masters work to mingle with the excited
multitude, where little else is 10 be heard but Wrang-

any addition to, but most certainly detractng from
the credit and influence OF his clerical character OF

trot-the true servant of his Divine Master?
Thankful for Small Favors.
