Parish Purposes

II hope that nobody believes today
that the purpose of parish is simply
the spiritual culture of the parishioners.
To think that would be as foolish as to
think that the purpose of an army is
the drill of the soldiers. Drill is neces-
sary, nay, essential, but after all 1t is
only a means to an end.
"The minister is so often occupied in
caring for the sick and wounded and
In bringing in the stragglers of his
regiment that there Is no time for war.
The curate, assistant and rector of this
parish spent the greater part of last
week in simply seeking the stragglers
from this regiment, The parish ought
to be making a fight for Christ against
the devil, but it rarely gets into fight
ing condition.
Jesus Christ calls the men aud
women of this parish as truly as he
ever called the name of Andrew, Philip,
Mary or Martha, and they who answer
minister to him as really as did any
holy man or woman of the old time in
the town of Galilee"

Patronage.

One of the most dangerous of all
corrupting influences in politics is the
abuse of the patronage system. More
evils emanate from that source than
from all others in the arena of poll
tics. The professional politician con-
siders public patronage as the "spoils
of war" and invariably acts upon the
idea that 1t is his asset to be used for
the promotion of his individual ambi-
tion. He buys and sells and uses pub
lie patronage as stock In trade This
bartering Is not for the good of the
party, not for the good of the public,
but for the good Of the politician him
self Whenever patronage ls dealt out
in the interest OF the Individual, rest
assured that bad politics and corrupt
government will follow. Whenever
politicians meet to distribute patron
age to buy influence II Is foregone
conclusion that the welfare of the
public will not be promoted, A' has
well been said by a distinguished
writer, the man who buys personal in
fuence with public patronage is using
the property OF the public to enrich
himself He is investing capital
which was entrusted to him by the
people, and he was expected to use il
for public good and not for public ad
vantage s

A passing glance into the political
arena might offer for our considera.
tion a few wholesome suggestions. or
course, everybody advocates good poll
tics. The designing politician does
that. But he does not mean &C. To
bring about condition OF that char.
acter would drive him out of bust.
ness. He says one thing and means
another The only way to judge is
to know the tree by the fruit. Esti-
mate the professional politician by
what he does and not by what he
says. Believe his promises after he
has made them good Before that,
take them under advisement. This
refers not to the party representative
who is frank and open in his acts and
believes in honorable dealing in poll
tics as well as in other matters OF
public concern. but to the politician
who is in politics for what there is
in it, for him.
The number Of corrupters of public
service in the political world is not
large, comparatively speaking, but
men of that stamp arc generally
adroit, smooth. and invariably persis-
tent They work out their plans and
by the forbearance of the people too
