FACILITY or TASKS OF PREACH.
ERS AND EDITORS.

He who writes much must read much.
He must absorb as well ss give. A
plsgisrist is only copyls', while the
reader and writer is still original who
spproprietss the germs of suggestive
thought that become the subjects of
his thinking. TIE voluminous writer
must often light his torch at the fame
of anothcT's genius. MsceuIey, whose
productions are the purest English and
so thoroughly his own that none csn
mistake their authorship, was the
greatest sponge that ever absorbed
from what he beheld life and light ard
dew distilled on the heights of Parnas-
sus. But it occurs TO US that q jour-
nslist, if anybody, should be suf-
fered, now and then, to rest by sppro-
prisLing, as bis own, thoughts produced
and we'll clad in some modest corner of
the world by Its thinking machine, the
local newspaper, and it is only wonder
full that so little of this purloining OF
useful thinking is perpetrated. News
paper men write as much each day as
most preachers each week, and it is
pitiful to hear how the good men of
the pulpit are given to plagiarism. One
Dr.. Lorimer, of Chicago, a great SEN
sational pulpit bangor, has been
preaching sermons delivered year
ago by DR.. Parker, of London,
and when the Chicago news
papers convict him of the crime he
simply repeats it, and crowds throng
the church to hear Lorimer recite the
pretty thoughts of Parker. But Rev.
Sydney Smith, great and original ss he
was, used to steal bodily the finest pas
ssges from the pure and classIcally Illus
trsted philosophy of Jeremy Taylor, and
there are other preachers in England
and the East, whose ''livings" enable
them to hiIe professional writers to
prepare their sermons. Poor devils
living In wretched gsrrets In the great
cities work up the best homilies for q
guinea each that delight silken and
feathered pewholders. While the
hsbitusl writers for the press rarely
steal, and yet must constantly write,
it is curious fact that the "reader,"
unlike the sermOnizer's "hearers," al!
ways fancies that he could easily dis
charge the editors task, and yet he
would start back appalled,, if required
to read Sunday morning from the pull
pit, to gaping, somnolent assembly,
an editorial supported by some remark
of Paul or Peter. The world forgets that
the greater the seeming case with
which an intellectual task is done the
more difficult its achievement, and it is
true of an editors, as of painters OF
poets work, that the highest art con-
sists ia the concealment of art, and
! nothing so flatters an old hand at the
newspaper bellows venerable Vul-
can forging thunderbolts of thought
as to hear the simplicity and ease of his
tasks in journalism commended foI
their facility of execution.
