CAMPAIGN PULPITEER'S.

Now that those city preachers, VINO
ret hig salaries and long vacations, have
told the people that the hand of the LORD
was in the election of Mckinley, let us
hone we shall have an end of political
preaching until the Morgans and Han
mas and Drexels call upon their parsons
to help them again in 1893. But the evil
wrought by the so-called sermons of these
political parsons will be felt for years to
come. Those preachers will find that
they have blocked the way to the hearts
of the poor. the humble, the suffering.
Nobody wants to associate politics with
the death-bed, the scenes of sorrow, the
need of consolation. They want the
pulpit to be far removed from political
warfare.
A correspondent of the Sprinfeld Re-
publican calls attention to a paragraph
from a sermon recently preached by
Rev. Charles Conklin, of that city, which
we publish because it expresses the con-
yiction of those who have been panied
at the conduct of the high-salaried
preachers during the recent campaign:
when the pulpit is turned into
political rostrum and the preacher
outvies the stump orator in vehement
passion of address and bitter preju-
dice of mind, the church of Christ is
hurt by one to whom its unity and
prosperity should be uppermost in his
mind and nethermost in his heart.
The damage is wrought by the resent
anent it arouses in the hearts of those
of contrary political faith. This re-
sentiment grows out of the feeling
that the pulpit in political discussion
is a kind of towards castle. There
can be no reply to charges made
from the sacred desk. Another effect
of political preaching is to make the
church a class institution. Like
draws like. The partisan pastor will
draw new people who think as he
does upon these external matters.
The pulpit can mold public opinion,
develop the public conscience much
more effectively by indirect methods.
Thousands upon thousands of voters
were directed by the quiet, peryasive
influence of the Christian teachings
uttered by Christian preachers
through many years"

SUGGESTION FROM A poPUL1sr

To the Editor: noticed in your paper
a few days ago that in the State Of Wash
ington, the Popuilsts and Democrats have
a strong majority in the Legislature, but
each party holds the balance of power.
1t has been proposed to elect Hon. VIM.
J. Bryan to the United States Senate
from that State as a compromise between
the two silver parties.
| noticed in yesterdays paper that the
deadlock in the Democratic caucus in
the Georgia Legislature on the Senatorial
question still continues.
Would it not be the proper. thing for
the Populists in the Washington Legisla-
ture to vote for VIM. J. Bryan as a COM
promise; and also for the Democrats in
the Georgia Legislature to vote for Tom
Watson as a compromise? Would not
such action aid materially in bringing
the silver forces together?
