SERMON HUCKSTERS.

From the NJ Y. Tribune
Solomon, looking forward through his pro-
phetic telescope, once declared that there is
nothing new under the sun, from which we
infer that the great preacher, while unfolding
the secrets of Wisdom, was liable to find a
stenographic reporter at his elbow taking
down his utterances for the use of some less
noted seer in the dominions of the Queen of
Sheba or Hiram of Tyre. That, at least, is
the new trade opened in Eastern cities by
shorthand writer's, through which they com
pei Sunday also to pay its tithes to their
till and make church going as profitable
as caucus Certain agents, who, it is to
be presumed, have a ready bacl,-door
entrance into the study Of many divine,
pay for these verbatim reports delivered each
Sunday in New York, Boston, or Philadel-
Dhia. and drive a brisk trade in them The
system may have its disadvantages as no
doubt the original speaker ains TO strike at
the faults or temptations peculiar TO his
locality, and the arrow which hits the mark
here in, another atmosphere falls spent and
harmless to the ground. Imagine, for ex-
annie the speechless astonishment of our
neiohbors of Philadelphia, on finding them
selves censured for their too eager yigor of
inteIleet in a sermon intended TO curb tAe
rampant thinkers Of the Hub. Or fancy the
y,arturbation and confusion of the audience
,vban fierce attack of words that
ont like scythes meant to hew
down the monstrous growtbs OF iniquity
in Chicago, is reproduced in the
startled purity and innocence of civilized
New York, an atmosphere In which, as all the
world knows, all men become honest and all
women virtuous. Probably this custom may
explain the increasing comfort and satisiac-

ton which our church-going population de-
clare lately to have found in their favorite
divines Nothing can equal the sweet repose
and complacency of soul in hearing your
neighbors sins expounded and we have all
doubtless, for the last year or two, settled
into easier inches in our pew cushions from
the pleasure of applying the lashes of the
sermon to that far-of relation of ours for
whom they were meant.
Perhaps we may question whether this un-
derhand and dshonorable expedient ought
not to be regarded as a hint of a real want in
the religious world and an indication of the
proper manner of supplying it. The usual
demand of two or three sermons q week, be-
sides the regular parish work and visiting re-
quired of almost all clergymen, is more, to
our secular mind, than any ordinary brain
ought to be asked to compass Especially is
this the case when the clergyman is young,
and with no knowledge of human nature or
experience beyond what his sehoolboy train
ing in the seminary will furnish. Who
has felt no pity, not to say contempt,
for the poor neophyte, serving up his
crude, havorless hash Of his textbooks,
Sunday after Sunday, or vague, disjointed
plsgiarisms from Alexander, or McIlvaine, or
Wayland? How much more healthy and
honest would it be if for few years he was
content to keep silent, to frankly preach the
acknowledged sermons of the great masters
of the human heart andtr servants of their
Lord; and to adjourn his own utterances
until time and experience had banished the
acridity and shallowness of youth, enlarged
his creed sweetened his charity and, more
than all, taught him some lesson worth re-
peating. For a man can only touch the
heart of another man by that which comes
from his own.
There is another class of men who might
proftably use this system; men who are emil
nently fitted to preach by practice and exam
pie, but who lamentably fail in the pulpit. In
fact great eloquence in words is rarely found
united with that peculiar and more valuable
power which makes an efficient and useful
minister over the parish. The great law-giver
Moses protested that he should not be forced
to the work of Aaron, who ''spoke well. "
There is no reason that we can see beyond
popular prejudice why clergymen who do,
like Aaron, speak well, should not consent to
give or sell, If need be, their sermons.
Strong, helpful words do not SO abound in
the world that we should grudge them to each
other. The field upon which the seed first
falls may be obdurate and unyielding, and he
who sows il should be the most willing that
it should be scattered abroad and tested
whether it be pure or worthless.
