CHURCH MEDDLING WITH POLITICS

The Louisville True Presbyterian CONTAINS
the following caustic remarks on the above
subject
If the Church continues this iatermeddling
with things of the State, how long will it be
| till the State will meddle with the Church
A sample of this was recently seen in Glas-
gov, Kentucky where the military authori-
ties sent the national flag into the Methodist
Conference, with the demand that each min
lster should salute it. But this treating an
ecclesiastical body as though it was politi-
cal body would never have been thought of
had it not been for the common political
maneuverlng of preachers. If as eccleiastics
they invade political ground, they certainly
may expect to be invaded in turn.
The Church thus sets an example danger,
GUS to herself as well as to the country. Hel
nature, her policy and her intentions are all
more easily learned by the public from what
she does than from her creed. And who,
that has been studying her these last few
years in the light of what she has been doing,
would for a moment dream that she was not
of this world-that she was in her nature
and appointment a purely spiritual and &C.
eleslastical body-a great institution of peace
set up in the world to that end? As they
have listened to hor in her pulpits, and as
they have looked in upon assemblies and
caught the tone and object of large portion
of her Debates and read her long and labor
ed political acts-as they saw her worldly
temper-more eager, more ardent and more
wsrlke than military men-who of them all
thus learning the nature of the Church from
her acts could believe that the great Head
and Teacher of the Church was the Prince Of
Peace Such conclusion from such prem.
iaes would be impossible.
But this is not all, going into the armies,
of this great war, they find companies, regi-
ments battalons and divisions headed by
Rev. Captains, Colonies and Generals
Christ said my kingdom is not of this
world; but what can be more OF this world
than heading armies and fighting bat
ties. They have left the pulpit to take
the sword, and thus give their highest testi-
mony to the supremacy of the world over the
kingdom of Christ. Paul said, God forbid
that we should glory, save in the art and
practice of war" The same apostle said,
Woe is me i'll preach not the Gospel ,
but these men say woe to US if we are not
frond on the battle field and in the slaughter
Of our enemies.
The love of the brethren is one of the ev-
| dences of fChrstianity, but when Rev. mill
tary men meet in battle and strike each
| other ir death, have they not abandoned and
falsified all their ministerial engagements and
professions What strange idea of the
Christian religion what would heather
get bywitnessing all these things! The
report which he would carry home would
certainly be terrible carricature of Chris
tianity, and poAerful obstacle to its recep-
ton, where such report was known and be.

libraries have also been stolen by the Aboli-

well as works of virtue and art, as being Con-

contraband of war which is of portable ma

We not told that "the rebels have forfeited all
rights under the Constitution" and therefore,
what right have they to own property? After
