THE SONS OF PREACHERS.
An Endeavor to Trace the Causes of Their
Wandering from the Narrow Path.

An Endeavor to Trace the Causes of Their
Wandering from the Narrow Path.
"Gath's'' New York Letter.
1t is often asked why the sons of ministers go
astray. There are many explanations why the
children Of men without worldly attachments
might break away from the dull dignity of a
mere teacher of flock whose parishienePs are
quick to judge his children, and they become
restive under the excessive restraint imposed on
them as the sons of the best man in the town.
consider to be in the ambitious nature of their
fathers. There is not so proud a thing on the
globe as an ecclesiastic, The man put in pull
pit several times week to champion his sect
his theology, or the passing question in morals
becomes IN the exercise of his disputative
power proud, vehement, impetuous person.
1t was so before the ecclesiastics had either
wives or sons. 1t was so when Wolsey was a
| greater man than the King Of England, and
Richelieu greater than the King of France. 1t
was so when the son of Pope Alexander, he who
| gave America to Spain in the name of heaven,
made all Europe the theater for his ambition
and revenge. Not unfrequently an ambitious
| young man chooses the pulpit in preference to
any profession he can think of. This occupation
often attracts young men at college who obtain
some applause for their platform speeches. They
consider that medicine and law involve too
much drudgery and probation, while the pulpit
let's the young tyro loose from the very begin
/ ming to declaim not only to men but to women.
! In England where the clergyman has living
or a rectory or parish, from which he is not re
moved all his life it is natural for the sons alsc
to take the fathers business as the sons of a
miller would ruin MILL and the grandson after
that In that way the Wesley family were fol
three generations priests. Where there is talent
in clergyman's children, it is frequently willfu
and precocious like the aggressive nature Of the
father, laundering away by the hour at his
flock. The library Of the preacher lies open tt
| the boys. They find in it not the lessons of hu
mility, yet they are expected to be living mani

about Besides, there is q certain aristoc
racy in preachers sons. They have
seen their father in control Of a large eongrega
tion, mimagisteriab IN the little town he livel
in, and they do not take kindly TO trades or ever
| to eIerkships. There is, or there was, seldom
enough money to bring up the children in &C
| cordance with their self esteem. So sensitive,
unnatural pride akin to aristecracy lives eveI
| in the child, and when it carries him IN some
| tempest Of indignation or revolt away from thu
monastic discipline of home, he becomes an Oh

There was a clergyman who married a couple,

this the 'sbest man" had forgotten to do. OF
