ALLEGED DECAY OF THE PULPIT.

An eminent British scholar has writ
ten an elaborate treatise in which he sets
forth reasons for what he considers to be
the decline of the pulpit and the decay
of its influence over the people. Com
pairing the power of the pulpit with what
it was century or two ago he sees it
somewhat shriveled and consolidated. -
To a great extent he regards this as the
result OF having less efficient class of
men for clergymen than in former days.
lie regards their training, both in intel
lect,lal equipment aud in oratory, as far
short of what it ought to be. There is
no denying that he is to great extent
right on both these points, and yet, in
spite of the inirmities and shortcomings
of pulpiteers of the present day, it must
be admitted that the pulpit is yet liv-
ing and a powerful force in the land, and
likely to no so for long time to come.
1t must not be supposed that all the
cergymen of the olden time were such
intellectual or theological giants as the
few whose names have come down to us.
Many of them were just such as we have
now, save that they had neither the edu.
cation nor the practical knowledge of the
world which are the portion of many of
the clergy of to day. Not few of them
were long winded and dreary. Some
