Z" Bogus Chaplains. y

The Office Of chaplain in the army, at tht
present time, is one of great responsibility
and requires the services Of live man, who
is willing to work for God and his country
The man who wants the office merely for the
pay had better be kept at home, or at Least
in place where such sad results are not like.

the Independent thus remarks upon this sub.
ject under the above caption:
"Your article under this title closes with
the remark that the subject needs inquiry.

have been chaplains in cur present army sc
Ignorant of their duties as to pay no attention
during the week time to men under their
charge, express no interest in their welfare
warn them against no temptation, encourage
in them no ennobling spirit of patriotism,
render them no help even in the preservation
of health, advise then, never as to the im-
provement Of their leisure, and fortify their
minds with no thought OF a protecting, over
ruling Providence. One Episcopal minister
has already returned whose duties the soldiers
report were summed up in reading prayers
once upon the Sabbath. One would think
the money must have burned his haods when
he claimed pay for services never rendered.
The least-educated cxhorter at a camp.meet-
ing would have done more unspeakably for
the strengthening Of the soldiers hearts, and
therefore for the great cause at stake.
Is it utterly absurd to expect that the chap
lains in a struggle like this for the preserva-
tion of all our institutions should know
enough of the laws of health to advise the
soldiers against needless exposure, against in
temperament in eating and drinking, against SC
cret as we'll as open vice e?-romembering that
in the Mexican war only 1900 lifteen hun

other causes. Is it too much for conscen-
tious clergyman to undertake, like Woodbury.
and others, to cheer the lonely hours Of the
men, share their amusements, look after their
reading and assist them in writing home p
Finally, in cause so clearly just, no persou
ought to accept the chap'ains berth who does
not from his heart believe, and will not with
all his strength declare, that God will bless
the banner OF liberty, righteousness, and ma
tionality. Where clergyman is blessed
with physical strength, and noue others ought
to go-he should be ready to take his share
OF work, hardship, and sacrifice. If he has
properly educated himself i'll presence Of mind

service i'll the emergencies of battle as any ex-

SOUTHERN RELIGIoN.-.A Methodist preach
er, a native OF South Carolina, now in Cali
fornia writes lcng letter to Bishop Andrew
which is published in the California Chris.
tion advocate, from which we give an ex.
tract:
Your prominent preachers are generally
shareholders. He who does not own house
servants is thought to be rather shabby and
plebian. Talented young ministers do not
find it difficult to get a.. few negroes by mar
riage. Having itinerated some years in the
South, l speak from personal knowledge. One
Of my first presiding elders was "a talented
young man--poor, but ambitious. In casting
around him for hell lpmcet, his eyes rested upon
a young lady who possessed a number of slaves
but she was an imbecie in body and mind
But the elder was aspiring and must haye
position so he was legally united to the heir
ess. In very short period he was forced to
locate, that he might take care of his idiotic
wife, and make his slaves profitable. Another
preacher Of tho same conference bought one
slave child, rudely breaking tho holiest
