Mr.. Arthur Balfour, Chief Secretary for
ireland in the Salisbury Ministry, is the
first Engllshman OF this general ion TO
carry inhumanity In politics to the point Of
murder. This minister, 1t will be remem-
bered, set out with the declared purpose Of
killing his Irish opponents of the Parnellite
party by menns Of imprisonment and in
the case OF Mr.. Vaudeville he succeeded.

victims, and 20 pretext ia too slight for the

TRIAL SERMONS.

The following under prostitution OF
Preaching" from a London paper, is
pertinent ALLOW me to call attention
again TO crying abuse Of divine in
stitution existing among ms. l allude to
the practice of trial sermons, or preach
ing matches, as they may be called an
ordeal to which candidates for vacant
parishes are in most cases called to sub
nit themselves. Such theory of the
work Of the preacher is at once an abuse
and a degradation of spiritual gifts.
Preaching Ia the authoritative instruc.
tiOn in Righteousness. in faith and NOR.
ais, to be delivered in disregard of the
personal feelings OF both the preacher
and the people who hear him. But &C
cording to the system of preaching
matches sermon is no longer means
Of instruction, but becomes an oratorical
display of the preachers learning or
fiuency, delivered with view 10 his
own temporal benefit, as having a con-
stitutional right to a comfortable house,
and share in the equal dividends. Such
low and carnal use of divine institu-
ton may fifty be called prostitution Of
preaching Practically, the system of
preaching matches is indefenslble, for
few ministers, though of ordinary ac-
quirements, yet with high sense of his
Office, and with due self respect, will
submit to such an ordeal, so that in
practice the best men often fail to be ap-
pointed where the best men are urgently
wanted. Letting alone, however, these
considerations, there is the absurdity OF
supposlng that the beat way If judging
about the best parson is to listen to an
isolated sermon or two specially got up
for delivery TO people who know moth
ing OF him except as the preacher of
trial sermon. For surely there are other
departments of work as important as
sermons, such as parochial organic ltioD,
yisi alton of the sick, mission work, and
instruction of the young. An efficient
minister who does not shine in the pull
pit is better than mere wind-bag who
spends the time which he tught to give
to the parish, to the connection of sonor-
GUS phrases and picturesque descriptions
which some people call eloquence. In
short. this system of preaching matches
demands instant searching consideration
with a view, if possible, to it's speedy
abolition, as an abuse which degrades
the Office and work of one of Gods min
listers. u SenetdtOr in John Bull
