In recent interesting discourse on
the question, lis the Pulpit Free?'
Rev. Frederick c. Priest got at the root
OF the matter when he said that the
preacher should be specialist and
should attend to his speciality. Within
the limits of that speciality and the
creed that he processes his freedom Is
as perfect as human freedom can be.
lie Is always secure in the approval of
his parishioners when he breaches a
thoroughly Christian sermon, founded
on the moralities and the promises of
the gospel. and more than that, it is by
such sermons alone that he can best
help. comfort and inspire his hearers
But the peculiar respect which he CON-
mands as a specialist vanishes imme-
diately when he goes out Of his sphere
to talk dogmatically upon questions of
secular controversy about which he
may know much less than some Of his
auditors. There are preachers who
seem to have persistent itching dur
Ing political campaigns to bring the
pulpit into politics and who deceive
themselves by imagining that their
partnership comes Of God, when It Is
just the ordinary kind. They may con-
tent themselves with yelled illusions or
they may go so far as to express eulogy
or denunciation, but in either case they
are using the church as a campaign
wigwam when they should hire hall.
1t is a wonder that such alterations are
tolerated as much as they are, and GER
tainly there could be no blaming pew
holder for protesting when he believes
that there Is more Of the devil than Of
God in the preachers party. 1t is his
right to protest and to demand that his
temper shall not be ruffied by the dis

Aside from the question Of authority,

the spiritual side of life, which is too
much neglected. There Is still enough
