Should Ministers Preach On
Political Subjects:

To answer this question it is nee
essary to inquire what is politics.
The word is derived from a Greek
word which signifies a city; and it
includes all the measures best adapt.
ed to promoting the welfare of the
city. When applied to a nation, it
signifies all the measures best adapt
ed to promoting the welfare of the
nation. It is the duty of ministers
to teach the people all that is neces-
sary to theirtemporal and spiritual
interests. And as the people in
this nation elect their Lawmakers
it is the duty of ministers to teach
them what kind of legislation is
right. They are the light of the
world. They are appointed to en-
tighten all classes of people with re-
spect to their interests, both in time
and N eternity, and guard them
against all injurious errors. The
bible contains the basis of all true
legislation. No legislature has a
right to enact laws to controverse
the revealed will of God. An inf
del party is now combining to abol-
ish all laws requiring the observ-
ance of the Sabbath, and to Danish
the bible from the public sch 1ols.
Now, is it not the duty of ministers
to teach the people the wrong flu
ture of such a combination If q
Legislature enact an unjust and OPP
pressive law, is it not the duty of
ministers to teach the people to
urge the repeal of such q law? fla
law requires the people to do what
they know to be sinful, is it not the
duty of ministers to teach the peo-
pie that it is wrong to obey that
law2 A minister's duty extends to
the entire fled of human welfare.
Goodness is profitable unto all
things, having the provision of the
life that now is and of that which is
to come" Goodness extends ID all
human action. Everything is to be
done "to the glory of God" Civil
government is an ordinance of God,
and should be exercised to the glo-
ry of God. Consequently, it is the
duty of all gospel ministers to make
all due efforts to prevent the corrup-
ton of that ordinance. 1t was the
teaching of such men as DR.. With
erspoon that gave us Republican
government and it was the un-
faithfulDess of ministers that per-
mitted alavery to be planted and to
grow up in our nation until it caus-
ed the sacrifice of a million of
slaves and thousands of millions of
dollars. If ministers of the gospel
had taught, as the bible teaches,
that all the human families descend
ed from a common mother, and
therefore have equal rights, all that
terrible sacrifice of life and proper
ty would have been prevented. All
unprin"ipled Office hunters and even
some ministers declaim against
preaching politics. Can bad man
be found who does not approve
preaching politics? And why do
bad men oppose preaching politics
Because they desire to have an open
field for their views. But why do
clergymen oppose preaching poll
tics? Because they have a wrong
view respecting what is their duty
In the case. The bible abounds in

Details have been received of the

Details have been received of the
loss of the Caspatrick, an emigrant
ship, with about five hundred pas
sengers, bound from London to
New Zealand. At midnight on No
vember II the alarm of fire was
given. Either by the sudden shriy-
cling up of the sails and tackle, or
by want of nerve in the steersman,
lost. She turned her head to the
wind, and thus flame and smoke
were blown in upon the ship. All
appliances at hand for extinguish-
ing the fire were used in vain. The
boats in the fore part of the vessel
were on fire, but there was q rush of
passengers and crew for the remain
ing boats. The first and second of
ficers each took charge of one boat,
and these boats were successfully
launched. It is supposed that each
boat contained about thirty persons.
They did not part from the ship at
once; but from their position the
men (for only men are spoken of as
having found refuge on the boats)
saw, without being able to relieve,
the wretched emigrants on board
the burning ship. Nearly four hun
dred and thirty persons persisted in
their sight. Some who escaped the
fire are described as having jumped
overheard to escape sinking with
the vessel. For two days the boats
kept together; then they parted in
rough weather, and nothing has
ever been heard of The one in charge
of the first mate. The inmates of
the other boat suffered fearfully
from hunger, thirst, and exposure.
The history of the voyage is mar
rative of madness and death, ana
life prolonged only by the most
horrible expedients of shipwrecked
men. On the 9th of November
there were but five men remaining
in the boat. Two of these had lost
their reason, and the others were
faint and drowsy. In this condi-
ton they were found by the British
Sceptrc. an iron sailing ship. The
two who had become insane died
on board. The three remaining
men were conveyed to st. Helena,
whence they were removed q few
days afterward by the mail steamer
Nydnzd. Only these three were
saved out of the whole five hundred
who sailed from London in the i'll.

NAZARETH TO suEcHEM.

NAZERETH TO SHECHEM.
We passed out of Nazareth to-
ward Main, and descended q hill that
none but Arab horses could have
descended. There was no effort to
point out the place where the wild
owls son was raised, and it was
enough to know that it was Main
that the dutiful SON was restored to
his widowed mother. We then
crossed the plain which was the
scene of SauPs great battle and dis
comforture. We rested at noon at
Gideon's fountain, "beneath the
shadow of great rock" Just be-
fore reaching this place 1 fingered
with a companion a short distance
behind the party, when some Arab
herdsmen came down their over
path and congratulated us by throw
ing stone at us, but, fortunately,
did us no harm. We assembled the
mountains of Gilboa, and fingered
short time at Jezreel to view its
ruins and the caves which are used
as repositories for the produce OF
the country. We spent the follow
ing night at Jaen, and stopped for
our rest at noon at Roman, where
the people flocked around us with
friendly department. Mr.. Floyd
informed US that these people are
ready to reciprOcate civility and
kindness "a quality that is extreme
ly rare in this country, but that
they are none the less Jealous of
their rights whenever they are in
yaded. Our place Of rest was in
view of the Mediterranean aud of
mount Carmel, as well as of some
of the distant peaks of the Hermon.
We had no opportunities from beg
gars while here, which is rare
luxury in this country. We rested
q short time at Samatria to view its
ruins, where are many beautiful
columns of marble standing in
fields, and some are PROSTATE and
used as enclosures of cultivated
fields. An old Roman Aqueduct is
mostly preserved, but is sufficient,
ly broken to be of no use.
The next place of repose was an.
cient Shechem, where we remained
for the Sabbath, and service wa:
held by the youngest member o.
the party, Rev. Z. p. Gregg, of the
Church of England. The chief top
ic of his discourse was taken from
the incident of the woman of Srma.

political teaching. The prophets
were political teachers. They taught
both the kings and mobiles the laws
by which they should be governed,
and their teaching was in accord
ance with the injunction given by
the Savior, Cali things whatsoever
ye would that men should do to
you, do ye even so to them for

The rose gardens of Morocco are
reported by a recent traveller to eX-
coed in extent and value those OF
Damascus, or even in the valley OF
Mexico. The soil is exceedingly
fertile, producing the date, palm,
orange, and lemon, as well as olives
and almonds. This fertile land,
within five days travel from Lon

Jules Verne was broker before
he was an author of any note. AT
ter spending all day in buying and
selling stocks, and figuring up re-
ports, he would return home with
aching head, and begin to write for
the sake of diversion. After he had
published several works which OBJ
tanned wonderful popularity he per-
ceiYed that he could earn his liveli-
hood with his pen, and he gave up
brokerage. He is about forty-six
years old, quick and nervous in
manner, with gray hair aud beard.
He spends much of his life on the
