DIVORCES CHURCH AND POLITICS.
Rev. II. De witt Talmnge Thinks
PuIpit No PInce for Cnmnnic icnin@.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Rev. T. De Witt
Talmage, in his sermon at the First Pres
byteran church today, made the following
allusion to the presidential campaign:
During the last six presidential elections
l have been urged to enter the political
arena, but never have and never will turn
the pulpit in which l preach into a political
stump. Every minister must do as he feels
called on to do, and l will not criticise him
for doing what he considers his duty, but all
the political harangues from pulpits from
now until November 8 will not in all the
United States change one vote, but will leave
many ears stopped against anything that
such clergymen may utter the rest of their
lives" -,.
This statement was followed by refer
ence to the depression now prevailing
throughout the country, and he said that
never within his memory had $50 mapy
people literally starved to death as in the
past few months" He believed the country
was better off after every crisis, and that
the Almighty would settle the controversy
between the metals.
