A Politician 70 the Preachers.

Mr.. Blaine has been addressing the
congregational Club in Boston; an in.
stitution composed of those of the Congre.
gational religious persuasion who meet
annually, on Fore-f father 's-day,'' for the
particular object of self glorifcation incl
dent to all such occasions. Mr.. Blaine not
being much Of a Congregationalst, if any
thing, did not trouble himself to glorify
that peculiar New England denomination,
but wondered much what they existed for
and why they did not cOalesce with the
Presbyterians, who hold the same teuets !;
or with the Baptists. Mr.. Blaine eyi-
IDENTIFY is Of those who do not fully
see why Christians cannot all get into
one church; matter which has often both
cred the secular mind in view of the
steady preaching of all denominations in
behalf Of peace and good will among men.
The world has long, however, come to rec
ognize the fact that this peace and good
will does not call either for uniformity of
belief or lack of zeal in defending peculiar
doctrine. Mr.. Blaine's experience in poll
tics teaches him the need of opposing par
ties to keep the human mind in play, and
he sees that there must be las well, differing
churches but the wonder is that,the sects
are SO many and the parties so few.
But whether Mr.. Blaine gave wise or
otherwise advice to the New ERland Con-
gregationalists in recommending their
union with the Pennsylvania Presbyter-
ians, he certainly did not fail in wisdom in
advising the preachers to preach and not
to read their sermons. The command to
go and preach the gospel is very poorly
obeyed, as he said, in reading it from a
pile Of manuscript. lie aptly said that no
lawyer reads his speeches to jury, for he
knows that is not an effective way TO speak
and he needs TO win his case, if he can, for
his bread and butter and fame depend upon
his success.
The preacher has lapsed from oratory
probably because the need of it is not i'm
peratiye upon him. 1t is easier to read
than to preach, and it may with many
clergymen be their most effective way of
speaking which only, however, shows that
they are out of place in the pulpit. For it
Is not to be denied that manuscript is a
great non conductor between speaker and
audience.
