Took Decided Position.

Rev. Mr.. Tyler in his sermon in St.
Johns church tbok a decided position
in the matter of clergy misgfng in
politics and public policies. He said
that the pulpit was there to issue Cos
pei truth and to lead men to the ligh
and right living and it was no part of
the clergy to advise people as to city
governments, policies or measures of
State. Such worldly matters had no
place In sermons and there was a
Weakening of the power and good I
the clergyman in proportion as he in
troduced secular topics. That me
taught right living and thinking need
ed no further advice from the pulpit
as to right doing and voting.-MaiI.
