gle measure of useful or beneficial re-
form that originated in the pulpit.
True, some liberal notions have sprang
from that source, but the author has
been subjected to criticism and in some
cases punishment dismssing him
from the service has resulted by reason
thereof These are isolated cases,
however, and for present purposes a
reference is made to the ministers as
body, not as individuals. There are
known instances where ministers have
attempted political work with a view
to reform, but in nine cases out of ten
it arises from an impOtency in other
directions and is employed as means
of inviting attention and attracting the
public, rather than an honest desire to
be of service to humanity Most
preachers like actors, love advertise
ment, and they play for it. AS a rule
they strive to cultivate the acquaint-
ance and friendship Of some newspaper
reporter, to the end that the press can
be utilized for the desired end, In
stead of being an upper house"
body of ministers in any community is
like a pound of putty in the stomach
of dyspeptic and about as useful.
Many cities can boast ministerial
association. AS a rule the majority
of ministers, of all denominations, ex-
cept the Catholic, are members Of That
body. They indulge in regular meet
ings. They hold discussions upon this
or that topic and adopt resolutions, but
in all the wide area of this continent,
from the storm dashed Atlantic coast,
to the sunny slopes of the Pacific, from
wild Ontario's lakes to the placid
waters of the Gulf, it is impossible to
point to solitary association of these
ministers or an individual member
thereof, as promulgating "a new and
useful idea or a measure of useful re-
form. Their sole purpose is self-preser-
walton and they have found organiza-
ton necessity to that end.
Preachers are not leaders in the
worlds thought. They are the most
hattering imitators in the world They
live in the dead past. They subsist
upon hoary superstitions. They dare
not stand face toward the east and
greet the rising sun. They will tear
fully regret the disappearance of the
bright orb of day behind the western
hills, and may stand entranced at its
golden setting, but the glories Of the
bright morning are to them unknown.
They are unable to appreciate the up
ward and onward march Of humanity.
For this reason they have been left
back upon the trail and other and more
capable hands are carving the way for
future generations to tread.

If man, or any body of men set out
for the accomplishment of any useful
or beneficial reform, that man, or those
men, are entitled to a great share of
the credit, but in spite of the desig-
nation, upper house, etc" it is a
palpable and well known fact that an
original idea new and startling
truth, new fact, useful measure,
has never emanated from the Chris
tan pulpit in America for a whole
century. Instead Of leaving their
CLOCKS and rushing to the front" the
preachers skulk behind the pulpit and
take refuge from the fray hide
behind it as a sort of reast-work to
shelter them from the Storm Of criti-
cism and the fire Of investigation, a
proceeding which has brough into
common use the appellation of Cow
ard s castle" as applied to the pulpit
in general The church has never been
an active agent in measures of reform,
on the contrary it has been a big
stumbling block, milestone about the
neck of progress, and the present dis
graceful political and social systems
are directly attributable to the in
fuences Of the pulpit. Preachers
shrink from true reform as though it
were an infection, some frightful
disease They know and dread the re-
suit Instead of banding together for
human advancement they simply or
ganize to unite their efforts at main
tanning existing conditions, their
prompting motive being selfishness.
When slavery was an issue in the
United States, resulting in a fratricidal
war, the pulpits were the last to es-
pOuse the cause Of abolition and only
did so under compulsion when it be-
came evident that war was inevitable,
that slavery must go, they got into
the movement in order to acquire the
privilege of claiming some of the
credit. Other well known facts point
to the conclusion that the ministers Of
America, so far from arousing public
sentiment, invariably oppose what is
best until that sentiment has acquired
sufficient strength to stand upon its
merits and they then fall in line.
The Blade does not wish to
appear captious in discussion
of this character. 1t does not
wish to even appear guilty of frivolous
criticism. And yet, the Blade chal-
lenges controversy on the issue here

spite of the best medical attention
gradually failed until death claimed
him on Christmas day. The funeral
