A new and usefnl phase of pulpit oratory is
its tendency TO discu practically the practical
affairs OF every day life. From California comes
report OF a sermon on Christian statesman
shlp; from New Hampshire one of a sensible
discourse on common schools. The California
clergyman begged the citizens to vot- intelli-
gently, and to forbid the professonal politician
to do MS thinking for him; and furthermore
to vote for candidates known to be honest and
capable. All OF which, we submit, does him
honor. and does not impair the sacredness of
the pulpit, from which man should not only be
taught the highest duty but also his duty to
the State. The New England preacher de-
precated the overtaxing of the vital powers
which the methods Of our schools demand
from delicate young children, the heedlessuess
on the part OF parents and teachers which let's
the young mind be strained and the physique
exhausted. Who shall say that these preach
ers are not doing noble and excellent work :?
