The Layman's Problem.

1t is as important thatpOlitciaus
be driven out Of the pulpit as that
the preachers be forced back 10 the
pulpit We think it sacrilcgious for
anyone to get his call to the pulpit
from campaign managers. to get his
inspiration from the cesspool Of poll
ties or to get his articles Of faith
from political conventions. II pollutcs
tho church moCks Christianity and is
a hoinous crime against society.
We can conceive Of no more dilhol-
ical hypocrisy than a politician in the
pulpit shouting for votes and can
imagine nothing more damaging to
public conscience than n preacher
saving amen" to his dcceitful an
tics
Political leaders may I've wet and
vote dry and the low standard of
statccraft is not offended, but when
the church turns over the pulpit to
officc-soekers and their henchmen,
true Christianity has received a crush
ins blow and hypocrisy runs rampant
In the altar, for it IS written "Ye can
not serve two masters"
Since the beginning OF government,
politicians have sought 10 dccoy the
ministry into the mehses Of politics
and make them carry banners in polit-
ical professions. They have taken the
ministry to the mountain-top Of power
and offered 10 make them the mon
arch Of all they surveyed and while
most Of them have said. "Get thee be
hind me, Satan" few OF them have
fallen with a cra-h that has shaken
every pulpit in Texas.
There is n political machine In this
state that would put Tammany to
shame ard make Thurlow Weed turn
over in his grave with envy ana the
politician Is one Of the component
parts Of its mechanism. In our next
article We viii discuss the political
machire.
