Bishop HRVen'S IndiSCreIlOn-A
Third Term Nomination Semi.
Revolutionary.

From tho MethOdlst -
The secular press has been Considera.
bly, alarmed by the reported nomination
by Bishop Haven and two hundred Meth.
odist ministers Of President Grant for q
third term. The letter OF DR.. Vincent,
which we print elsewhere, diSpels good
deal Of misconception about the facts,
The meeting was that OF the Boston
preachers, the occasion speech by BiSh.
op Haven on the state Of the church work
in the South, the offending fact that the
Bishop asked his hearers to pray for the
reelection Of the President. The action
Of the preachers consisted in approving
the sentiments Of the speech. Reduced
to these slender proportions, the original
offence hardly deserves such spirited GEN.
sure as II has received; though we must
regard the action Of the Bishop as an in.
discretion. It is quite certain that the
two hundred ministers do not regard
themselves "a making q nomination, at
the same time II is Just as certain that
this version was on the spot given to the
words Of the Bishop and the action Of
the meeting,
We feel bound to say that Methodists
are utterly opposed to mixing Church
and politics, 10 turning ecclesiastical
gatherings into caucuseS, and that we be-
lieve every minister in attendance at Bos.
ton holds this anti-seCtarian creed. But
II Cardinal McCloskey had dedicated the
Boston cathedral the same week, and had
uttered Bishop Haven's words, askinghi
priests to pray for the election Of General
Sherman "as measure OF safety" we do
not doubt that every Methodist newspa.
per and pulpit in the land would have
llamed with Indignation. For this rea.
son we regret the Introduction Of the topic
into the Boston meeting. We have met
no Methodist who is not grieVed and SOr.
ry, and we have talked with some OF the
warnest personal friends Of the Presi.
dent. It must be apparent that an indls'
cretion 30 damaging to the Chief Magis.
trate could not have been arranged and
sanctioned by Church authority.
One word more: The nomination OF
a President for a third term would be a
new and extraordinary event, which
wears, to many persons, u semi.reyoIu'
tionary look. The speech Of Bishop
Haven would rather confirm this impress
sion, since he seemed to contemplate a
personal government rather than gov.
ernment Of laws. The reception given 1t
by the public ought 10 be warning that
on such question as this the Office: e:bear.
rers Of churches do not enjoy quite as
much liberty Of personal action IA Ia
usually accorded to them in their Charac.
ter as citizens.
