ugIon Is to die ont altogether. We DO not be.
lieve that the pulpit possesses all the religlcu
Of mankind, as DR.. Hall would have us sup
pose nor that if the press should supersede
the pulpit religion would be any nearer ito
death than it has been repeatedly in the his
tory of the Church when the pulpit had no
press to contend against. We do not believe
the pulpit" and religion" are synonymous
terms any more than the ''press" and ''re-
ligion" are. We believe the press is doing the
Masters service as faithfully and as effectually
as the pulpit, and we believe, furthermore,
that the purity and piety of the ministry to-
day is very largely due to the elevating and
stimulating influence Of the press. And we
believe, also, that as many tears have been
shed and as much true sympathy manifested
by audiences who have witnessed the presenta-
tion of ''Uncle Toms Cabin" or the ''Old Curl
osity Shop" on the stage as by any who have
listened to the Doctors thrilling eloquence or
wholly spiritual then the pulpit might have the
pre-eminence; but as we are intellectual and
material beings also the press and the stage
are as necessary and each in its sphere as
serviceable as the pulpit. We remember that
while the pulpits of this land, North and
South, were quoting the law and the prophets
loudly and long in defence of slavery and in
proof of its great antiquity and divinity, the
press and the stage were holding it up before
the light of day as ''the sum of all villanies"
and they created that sublime public sentiment
in the North which, rising like mighty flood,
swept it away from the land. The press, the
pulpit and the stage, we repeat again, are CO.
ordinate agencies in the elevation of humanity,
and it will not do for one, and that one in
these days not the most useful or effcacious,
to slander the others. At least before it does
so it should be certain that its own record is
pure and clean.
