The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1873-09-13

Passing high sounding resolu.
tions at political conventions will
not do the work. Putting one par
ty out of power and giving the
scepter to another will not accom-
plish anything. The trouble is
deeper, and requires more heroic
treatment The pulpit, the press
and the platform-the great educa-
tors of the people-must attack the
mercenary spirit of the times, and
inculcate higher and purer tone
in every day transactions of men.
Thei. efforts must be promptly Sc
conded by all men with clean hands
and pure hearts. No others can be
of any service in the work of re-
formation. The men who love their
neighbors a. themselves, and who
do unto others as they would that
others should do unto them, must
be the host that are to overthrow
the temples of covetonsness, and
bring into disrepute the worship of
Mammon.
In organizing for the grand con-
fict, all the moral agencies must
take their places in the ranks. The
church of Christ must lead the host
in the future as in the past. Let
no chickering's about forms and cere-
monies, or modes of worship, divide
her rank or detract from her
strength, but in the spirit of the
Master make uncompromising war
upon the sins and ills that covet-
business and selfshness have broug't t
into the world. Let her ministers,
with the boldness OF Paul, impress
the great central truth of Christi
anity on all the church members,
that if they have not the unselfsh
and self-sacrifcing spirit of Christ,
they are none of His. If her tenn
Piles have become dishonored by the
presence of those who love money
more than principles, and riches
more than righteousness, let them
be driven forth from the Church as
the Master drove the money chang
ers from the temple of Jerusalem.
Having purified her own ranks, she
will be the attractive point around
which will gather all the reforma-
tory agencies, and the pure princi-
pies of Christ will be the common
platform upon which all will stand.
