The Pulpit and Politics.

There Is no emergency without an ade-
qtate remedy. God in the bounty Of his
bestowal has ordained a supply sufficient
for the urgency OF mans need. Crisis
Of evil is the opportunity for reform. The
night is darkest Just before day. the
political corruption of our country has
long been hanging over us as a dark
and threatening cloud and the storm so
long brewing has burst upon Us, arousng
TO an unders landing Of our danger, and
impressing upon us the meaning Of our
responsibility and duty In the affairs Of
State The Church is the hope OF politics.
The moral element OF society should be
the controlling force OF its interests. The
temporal concern OF man is closely allied
with his spiritual welfare. Mans environ
ment must WELD an influence over him
for good or I'll, since society cannot rise
higher than the conditions governing its
life; ennobling influence must elevate,
while corrupt example will degrade. As
the soul Is exalted in its aspirations It
approaches God, and the impulse which
actuates the mind is begotten Of the power
which governs the life. In mans ambition
we read the man. lie alone is noble who
aspires high.
Is the pulpit too exalted to exalt?
Is public life so corrupt that the
Church should gather her skirts
ABOUT hef lest she be denledY Is
the arm Of God shortened that He can
not reach the depths? Is evil more potent
10 tarnish than righteousness is efficient

gnawing at the very vitals OF the body

try are sheltering themselves within the
sanctuary to avoid contamination? Good
ness IS never tainted by the imparting of
