Mixing Occupations That wouldn't Mix.
New York Evening Post.l
Mr.. Murray tried to combine too many con.
1cting activities. lie blended amusement
organized elaborate, painstaking amusement
with tho very serious business of life which he
set before himself whom he adopted the pro.
fessional prefix to his name or rather he
hopelessly COMPOUNDED the two. We do not
mean to make light Of amusement. 1t has its
proper place In the economy of the universe,
and tho place is large ono; and we do not
doubt that amusement has div inc sanction
as well as solemn duties have. But, il
there is a time for work and tmo
for play oven In the case of children,
there must DO such distinction in tho
case of grown men. There is right
way of amusing oneself and there is a doubt
full way. Certainly there is no sin in admir-
ing fast horse, in driving one, or in owning
one. There ia no sin in a fondness for finely
cultivated farms and thoroughbred stock
There is no sin in going into the comparative
wilderness of the Adirondacks. But no man
can put these interests foremost who is not
man of absolute leisure. Leaving ministers
outside of the case for the present, clients
would hesitate to retain Il lawyer patients
would shrink from consulting "a physician,
whose heart was in these things rather than the
piIsulb VI MS paIblCulHr GAZING. Iutttng
aside religious considerations, the man who
processes to undertake any serious and definite
work in life, yet gives the first place to his
amusements, is sure to be regarded as u trifcr
and Il pretender.
The minister Of the Gospel in such q case Is
especially i'll oil. Not because O minister is
necessarily better than. other men, but because
his work is supposed to be more engrossing,
more absorbing not only of his intellectual
powers, but also of his emotional nature, is
his departure from its sharply defined path
regarded as iucOngruous. 1t is not expected
that tho minister shall forego recreation or
that ho shall suffer actual privation, especially
when 1t is not necessary for him to do 50. He
is not expected nowadays to earn his living
by fishing and tent making and to preach for
nothing But ho is expected to be especially
devoted to his vocation. He is tho last man
who ought to make a business of amusement;
the last who should ostentatiOusly luxuriate in
costly pleasures.
1t is not surprising that, when Mr.. Murray
made as much of horse rs of a man. when
he seemed to believe that stock farm rather
than world OF sin and suffering is the proper
field for pastoral culture, when he wrote Of
the Adirondacks more earnestly than of tho
salvation of mankind, worldly. minded persons
sneoringly said that he cared more for these
things than for souls. II is not surprising that,
now the bubble which he blew in Boston and
Guilford has burst, they say even worse of him.
Hero certainly was a case for n shoemaker to
stick to his last. The story should admonsh
preachers to confine themselves and their 40
tiyity to the pulpit or to leave it altogether.
