MODERN PREACHING AND MODERN
CULTIRE.

CULTURE.
How far has the pulpit Of to-day lost its
hold upon the respect and even the notice OF
the most cultivated minds2 Surely no very
precise answer can be given to this question;
and vet he must be both deaf and blind who
does not know that between these two runs
q chasm wider han ever before. The most
influential literature of this country and OF
Europe alludes to the pulpit with q clear
undertone of dissatisfaction and contempt.
Polished and profound literary productions
cannot be wrought, year out and year in, ut
the rate of two O week. Moreover, we are to
remember that much of what we call CON-
monplace In sermons is 80 far from the fact
that, in this age of diffused knowledge and
cheap books, the best thought of the world is
becoming common Finally, we are not to
forget that q great deal of the dissatisfaction
expressed by educated men with The manner
and matter of modern preaching is only
one form in which the revolt of the
age against all theology, and indeed
against all preaching whatsoever,
whether good or bad, finds vent for itself. 1t
is not the sermon, it is Christianity which is
objected to. That this is the case is explicitly
admitted by the writer in the Spectator of
whom we have spoken. "About the sermon"
he says, 81 am about to state honestly what /
believe thousands of men feel secretly. l
dislike good sermons just as much as bad.
1t is not the length, or the feebleness, or the
mannerism of the speech which annoys me,
as it seems to annoy most men who write
about sermons, but the speech itself. do
not want to be lectured, even by a great lee
turer. I object to tie usual basis Of the gerry
best sermon eUer dekceTed IN a Christian
church! !"
1t is only fair, then, to a great and most
Iaborious and devoted profession, to indicate
where the trouble really lies. A great many
cultivated people at present do not like to
hear preaching. Why Partly, no doubt,
because they already know more than most
ministers do, and they can learn nothing by
listening. Partly, also, because the sermons
are badly constructed, and conveyed in a
rhetoric which is feeble and stilted." But
chiefly, we think, because much of the culti-
waited mind of this age has become alienated
from the old faith, and is throwing itself
forth, this way and that, in an agony of be-
wilderment, bafied energy, and discomfort.
In this state of things the preacher is made
the scapegoat. His faults are harped upon
as a rather safer way of finding fault with
the religious system under whose sanction
he speaks.
So far as preaching can be made more
thoughtful, learned, eloquent, cordial, per-
~suasive, it is the duty of the preachers to
make it so. 1t is none the less our duty to
say that, if every preacher of this age could
preach like Paul, preaching would continue
to be an impertinence and a bore to those
whose minds have swung away from that
system of belief which constitutes the basis
of all Christian preaching, good or bad
