PREACHERS AND POLITICIANS

PREACHERS AND POLITICIANS.
The Savannah Recorder, q new
evening daily paper, sailing under
Independent colors, with the name
of Corker for Congress at it's mast
head, has this to say of preachers
ard politics
There can be no publication Of
politics by ministers taking hand.
The minister will nine times out of
ten, weaken bis influence and his
field for doing good by turning poll
itician. Politics have peculiar in
Auence upon a mans feelings, it
blunts his nice sense of honor, his
love for unvarnished truth, and dis
regard in representing his opponents
position. The sins of omission and
commission are many, and the soul
becomes scared by the fiery con-
Aicts of political debate.
We have known many good
church members to forget their God
and religion by becoming entangled
in the meshes of politics.

night at a Lester mans house, and in reply
to question as to his chances OF success, re
piled: Il know am beat but am going
round kicking up the chunks y
Now, Judge Lester staid at my house on
that night and he made no such remark,
but on the contrary said his chances for cleo

the publisher refused to give it. told
him emphatically that the article in CUES

may we'll tremble, and his friends
may trust his strength of purpose
and ability to act.
There is the coarse, boisterous,
dictatorial tone, invariably adopted
by vulgar persons, who hove not

their own insignificance.
There is the incredulous tone, that
is foil of a covert sneer, or secret
