BLAINE ON THE PREACHERS.

James G. Blaine has had his say before
the Congregational Union at Boston, on
the virtues OF the Puritans and the fail
ings OF preachers. His discourse fur
nishes two texts for as many editorials, or
what is better these brief winter days, for
one short article embracing both heads.
Written sermons, said Blaine, piled up
between the preacher and the congre-
cation, served as "non-conductors. ="
lie wanted eXtempore addresses that
had six weeks of preparation. 1t
is the preparation" in both cases
which gives interest and zest to
the written and unwritten productions.
Far better the crude material in written
form than the same with an accompani-
ment OF violent gestures and ear-spltting
shrieks. The theological student who
cannot sing and never prepares himself
by hard study and previous thought, is
not only Il 'non-conductor, but non
generator OF heat and light. One weeks
preparation for an hours delivery OF one
or two sermons on a Sunday ought to at
tract attention and compel thoughtful
consideration OF the vital questions dis
cussed. The machinery OF the peri
patetic revivalists is one thing,
and frequently very superficial and
transient thing while the carefully pre-.
pared, written or unwritten address, ar
resting attention and compelling thought,
always leaves deposit OF truth which
by continual accrction forms stratified
and enduring character.
Blaine evidently prepares himself for
his extempore speeches, and he resents
an invitation to listen to Il sermon which
in matter and manner shows a grievous
lack OF preparation, Blaine is not alone
in this matter.

SECRETARY BLISS REPORT.

There seems to be fatality attending
affairs in Utah, which in many cases pre-
vents fair and candid statement of the
actual state OF things here. The New
West Education Society is doing grand
work in this Territory. 1t is laying
foundations. The maddened appeals of
the leaders OF the priestly party to their
followers, to keep their children from. the
free schools Of this society, furnish evil
dence of the remarkable success of its
work. The superior teachers, admirable
methods and results OF these institutions
speak for themselves. A simple state
ment OF the actual growth and present
condition of the schools would be the
most eloquent and telling document that
could be laid before the generous patrons
of the society.
But the worthy secretary OF the society
is not content with this. He, Ike every
person who may have spent a few weeks
in Utah and who attempts to solve the
"problem," darkens counsel by words
without knowledge. In rightly insisting
upon the actual necessity of educational
and religious influences in the regenera-
ton OF Utah, he ignores the political
aspect OF the question, and fails to note
the fact that the press and the business
men OF Utah have already accomplish ed
wonders here and made it possible for
the New West to establish their schools
in Utah The necessity of the hour
relates to political action. The local
government OF this Territory must be
wrested from disloyal hands and the
National authority established for the
first time in the political history OF Utah.
The report of the Secretary makes no
mention OF this vital demand. Had
he confined himself to the state
ment of the operations OF the ex-
cellent institution for which he has
done yeoman's service, there could have
been no objection. But he belittles
what has been done and what it is pro-
posed to do by saying, every one prays
that the law may have its due effect in
Utah, that polygamy may be repressed,
that the Mormon Church may be dis
incorporated, and that the Immigration
Company may share the same fate. But
with all that done, what have you?"
Mormonism is, in its essence and
chief element, a religion, and will never
yield to other than religious forces" 1t
will be seen that the Secretary attempts
a synopsis OF the play OF Hamlet, with
the Prince OF Denmark left out OF the
account. The loyal men OF Utah have
no especial quarrel with the followers OF
Joseph Smith, or their corporations, but
they do propose to crush out disloyal
rule and law-breaking combinations.
