POLITICS IN HI PULPIT.
When the announcement was made, last
that one Of our local Christian
would select "Incendiary poll
les" as the subject for his Sunday even.
,g's, (Oct. 12th) sermon, il was expected
nat the reverend gentleman twould con-
ne himself, in his discourse, to the evils, .
loral or religious, that follow in the wake
{ INSCRIPTIONS politics, steered and rud.
cred by political parties Of every shade.
n this the expectations of all were disap-
Last Sunday, that preacher de- !
ned incendiary politics as tsthe counte-
ancing of the reputation Of financial OBJ
ard i%nvalidating contracts, and
with anarchistic passions"
Re thereby rehashes and reiterates the )
alse accusations, slanderous attacks and .
lie aspersions which the gold standard ;
arty is constantly hurling into the faces .
{ millions of people who honestly believe,
, BIZ metaliism. The great champions Of :
liver have, time and again, declared tina. :
0 reputation of any obligation was con- :
and will never be countenanced.
illumined pulpiteer pretends to know j
sitter; he does not mentions one word
nent the incendiary policy OF the rich to
rind to poor, but repeats the oft-refuted
i'd baseless charge Of repudiation. This :
lows how little be understands the fnan- 7
al question and how difficult 1t is for q =
resided and narrow t~heologian to follow y
9 example of Christ and the Hebrew q
who wers friends OF the poor and I
i Of the rich This passage through d Y
'edle's eye would be less Difficult J. In
ture, let himaconfine himself to preach :
8 the Gospel, andgnot prostitute the pull
by ~incendiary politics, unless he as :
res to secure q handsel from Presbyter
anna. Let him remember the old say v

not flatter your parishioners."
