lied. Our pastor may just as we'll be
nominated by the Prohibition party
as another, and if one may accept a
nomination why may he not volun-
tarily offer himself as a candidate ?
Surely the party will become strong
enough after awhile to elect some of
its candidates. Think of a dozen
pastors of churches elected to the
Legislature and leaving their pastor
al charges two or three months dur
ing the year, drawing their salaries
as preachers and legislators, and at
the same time feeding the flock of
God over which the Holy Ghost has
made them overseers.
You laugh at the absurdity of the
supposition. Yet this is nothing
more than the logical outcome of
this first movement. The relations
between, pastor and people is the
most sacred in the world. You want
your pastor to be as far as possible
removed from all worldly cntangle-
ments, as closely as possible allied to
virtue and truth, to goodness and to
God. You want him to stand forth
singly as Gods messenger and the
representative of holiness and truth,
above all parties, above all policies
You want him to be so Christ-like
that in his compassionate sympathy
be will touch every man within
reach, and draw every man he
touches-that by the purity of his
life as well as his words he will re-
buke every sin. This cannot be
when pastors are politicians, and the
conservatism of the church must put
the seal of condemnation upon this
first movement to avoid trouble anC
disaster hereafter. / have voted thu
