tician's work, and desire 10 become stump
orators and partisan political preachers,
let them, like honest men, doff their robes
and enter the list, and take the rough and
tumble of the strife. They have no right,
like towards, to skulk behind the pulpit
put Oh sanctimonious airs, and then utter
their auathemas against all in the pew or
church who differ with them in political
opinion, Such is not gospel preaching
either in spirit or word Such was not
the import Of their ordination vows. Such
was not the holy work TO which they were
solcmnly dedicated aud ,ct apart, and woe
be to them il they leave the Masters wo k
for this other work, Their opinions are
their own, their ballot within their own
keeping, and far be it from me 10 condemn
the free exercise Of either. 'Iis not OF
this that | compl in, but of their insufler
able intolerance, their dictotorol bealine
their a6negotion Of all charity their whole
sale sauder, Why, they charge treason,
one ol the highest crimes, upon all men
