necessarily saioonist or friend or
desirable citizen, they Will do the oppo-

that 1t Is well known in each commu-

Politics should Have No Place In the
Pulpit.

EDITOR Inc Advertiser:
There is no end to the church getting
into politics on every question, II 1t
can be excused on the ground that a
moral issue Is presented. Henry Ward
Beecher was a notable champion of
politics in the pulpit. He was so ram
pant to wipe out the moral evil of
slavery that he preached sermons for
subscriptions of Bibles and Sharps
rifles" to give the men sent to Kan
sas by the Abolition Society to drive
out the Southern men who went there
with their negroes. Even In our day
we have seen the pulpit put to politi-
cal uses on the moral issue" of free
silver. Many preachers in the North
and East said 1t was dishonest to pay
q debt in a deprecated silver dollar.
They told their focks 1t presented a
"moral issue" In which the church
should take a hand. Some OF them
went so far In the pulpit as to openly
advocate the election of a presidential
candidate on one side, and the defeat
Of the candidate on the other side.
Men in Alabama do not wish the
churches here to be used in that way
in the campaign on the constitutional
amendment 1t hurts religion and the
church, and lessons its influence. Moth
ing but a political organization can
stand the strain of a political contest,
and very often 1t skaters them. Let
preache rs, like other men. individually,
advocate what they think best, but
for the Lords sake let them preach
religion only, in the pulpit, and leave
to Caesar the things that are Caesars"
