count Of tbs, terrible suffering caused

cages are sunk in the river. Death BY

We fully endorse the protests referred

CLERICAL ORITOkY.

Why do not our preachers study ora
tory2 AS preachers, not pastors, their
business is to work a certain effect, and
all helps to its production it should be a
part of education to learn. Ipresume 1
shall not be misunderstood to mean the
effect of displaying self, and winning ad-
miration for personal gifts. What the
true preacher seeks to do is to inform
the intellect with Christian truth to
stir the heart, and thereby influence the
will of his hearers. Half the sermons
annually preached are, SO far as human
insight goes, a waste oflabor and breath.
Two things partly account for this one
is that majority Of the men set to preach
are out of their real voeation-good pas
tors they may be, but fit preachers they
are not; another is that those with apti-
tude for preaching do not yet understand
the means to be employed to attain their
object.
Sometimes preacher has conception
of the needs of human nature, and knows
that the truest truths fail to move when
put before men in a dull, dry way; per-
haps he does his best to acquire good
style, and succeeds in making all ably
written discourse. But when he comes
into his pulpit to give it to his people,
