PULPIT POLITICS.


what Cheever Said In 1857 Applies With
Equal Force to the Church la 1894 on
the Temperance Question.
written by George Is. cheeyer, u. d., IN 1891
Nothing can possibly be more
than the outcry about
political preaching. The truth is
that the moment any sin passes
from the individual to the nation
and is sanctioned by law and be-
comes what is called organic, then
instantly the speech against it is
branded as political preaching, so
that, if you wish to take all manner
of sin from the touch and control OF
the pulpit, if you wish to shield it
from that rebuke which God has
to be thundered against
it, you have only to make it legal
and national, and you have given it
a tabernacle, pavilion. you have
enshrined it as Dagon, before
which you must put off the shoes
from your feet and approach it only
to bow down and worship. If a
man has two wives, you may preach
against polygamy, and nobody thinks
OF charging you with preaching poll
tics; but, if a state set up polyg-
amy by law and its support bc made
a plank in the platform Of a party,
then if you touch upon it in the pull
pit you are preaching politics.
Whenever and in whatever way you
bring religion to bear upon politics
there are men who will accuse you
of political preaching, but you are
not to stop for that.
tell you, no wonder that the
modern pulpit has lost its power,
when men are afraid of the applica-
tion of that power and tremble al
the consequences. The gospel is
not to be perverted as a political
lullaby and shall not be muzzled al
the mandate ofintriguing politicians
There is nothing, from the begin
ming to the end Of the alphabet
connected with moral issues anc
bearing on mems duty, which may
not at the proper time be made thu
subject Of investigation in the pul
pit, and the proper time for the con
sideration of any sin is the yer,
time, and the proper place the yer,
place where the sin is practiced
where its lawfulness, expedienc.
and righteousness are maintained
and where its disastrous, demoral
Iizing, destructive influence is felt
and not at the antipodes, where sin
are reigning of an entirely opposit
character. The proper time am
lplace for the consideration Of idola
try is in the presence Of the lido
worship and in the communit,
where such an abomination pre-
walls, or where it is defended, an,
no matter what laws or antiqu
usuages and authorities Of stat
and custom sustain the iniquity-
that makes no difference in the dut,
of the preacher. The application
of the gospel must be made, nor j
there any time to be lost, since tn
the argument Of possession, custom
and law is every day growin
stronger.
Just so with every dear, cher
Iished, fashionable evil. If tn
probing Of it occasions agitation
anger, strife, that very thing i
proof of SO dealing with it, and if
is warmly contested not to be a
evil nor a sin, that itself just clearl
! shows the danger and ruin of lettin
ii alone and the necessity Of pour
ing the light Of Gods word upon il
| If it be interviewer with the polite
of the state and Of society, so muc'
the more hazardous to meddle wit
liz, but so much the more necessary

Memory Gems About Books.

Books are the best men and wo-
men, at their best, trying to make
each of US better and happier.
One cannot celebrate books sulli-
GENTLY; after saying his best, still
something better remains TO be
spoken in their praise.
That is q good book which is
opened with expectation and closed
with profit.
Some books are to be tasted
others to be swallowed, and some
few to be chewed up and digested.
Books are lifelong friends whom
we come to know and love rs vel
do our children.
In the poorest cottage there is at
least one book wherein for several
thousands of years the spirit of
man has found light and nourish-
ment, and an Interpreting rcsponsel
to whatever is deepest in him.
God be thanked for books: they
are the voices of the distant and the
dead, and make us heirs of the
spiritual life Of past ages.
In the best books men talk to us
and give US their most precions
thoughts, and pour their souls into
ours.
Remember, we know we'll only
the great nations whose books we
possess; of the others we know
nothing, or but little.
Books are the best things, we'll
used abused, among the worst.
We prize books, and they prize
them most who are themselves
most wise.
The foolishest book is kind of
leaky boat on sea of wisdom.
, Some of the wisdom will manage to
get in anyhow.
! Books are medicine for the soul
Books are friends, and what
: friends they are! Their love is
/, deep and unchanging; their pa
! tience incxhaustable; their gentle
ness perennial.
Books are friends which every
man may call his own, and their
friendship never dies.
!, Hark! the world so loud, and
books, the movers Of the world, sc
!, still.
Laws die, books never.
: There is no past as long as books
!, shall live.
$ The wise, out of their books ar,
9 clay; but in their books, as from
I their graves they rise, angels that
: side by side upon our way, walk
\ with us and warn us.
As good almost kill a good mar
!, as destroy a good book.
: Books, like proverbs, receive
= their chief value from the stamp o
esteem OF the ages through wmcf
. they have passed.
\ Remember that all the known
5 world, excepting only savage ma
@ tons, is governed by books.
n All that mankind has done
g thought, gained, or been, is lying a'
in magic preservation in the pages
: of books. They are the chosen
@ possession of men.
!, The wise man will select his
$ books, for he would not wish tc
i class them all under the sacred
n name Of friends. Some can be ac
y cepted only as acquaintance
& Others are to be chatted with for q
: little while and then laid aside bu
:. not forgotten.
: We gain the most profit, and tn
I most pleasure also, from the books
p which make us think the most.

Patents
Notice to Invet0rS,

There was never u time in the history of
our country when the demand for Inventions
and improvements in the arts and sciences
generally was so great as now. The con-
vcnicnccs of mankind in the factory and
work shop, the household, on the farm, and
in Official life, require continual accessions
to the appuItcnanccs and implements to each
in order to sage labor, time ard expense
The political change in the administration
of government does not affect the progress
OF the American inventor, who beng ON the
alert, and ready to perceive the existing
deficiencies, does not permit the affairs Of
government to deter him from quickly con.
ceiylng the remedy to overcome existing
discrepancies. Too great care cannot be

No Blanks i'm this Competition.

This Is a competition Of rather an unusual
nature 1t IS common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or Architectural plan,
all the competitors fSkIng the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount Of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different Each person is asked
merely TO help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would he well
worth doing 1t. The architect whose com
pei,tvc plan for a club house on certain
corner is no, accepted has spent his labor on
something Of very little use to him. But the
person WHO patents a simple and useful de

prize, He has substantial result TO show
