SELECTING \ TOPIC.

We read with amusement. and not
a little shame Of the preacher who
asked his congregation to select for
him the topics of his sermons There
might be some good in the plan if it
were not for the inference that he
was either hard up for subjects or
else he was one of those who thought
the people would rather hear a pop
ular lecture from the pulpit than have
cXpoundcd to them the plain old truths
OF the gospel. There are congrcga-
lions who would answer this dcscrip-
tIon and there are preachers who
have gotten SO far away from spiritual
religion that they think 1t necessary
to turn their pulpits into forums for
the discussion of social or economic
problems. These problems have an
intimate relation to the work Of the
pulpit, for that religion is no account
that does not touch upon mans social
and economic welfare along with his
spiritual. But it should be that These
phases of huiuan life should appear
in sermons as they may be influenced,
modified or corrected by the teachings
of religion They are the incidentalS,
not the central theme And the
preacher who cannot find things to
say TO upbuild his congregation in its
spiritual appreciation, who cannot be
embarrassed rather by the multiplicity
of topics he might profitably deal
with rather than by any scarcity, has
about reached a condition of theologi
cal dry rot. If It is desired to get in
closer touch with the sentiments of
congregation. commend us rather to
the device of the colored preacher
who has issued a pocket edition or
moral and spiritual maXims gotten up
in Poor Richard" style which he has
printed on small cards ana passes
them out to his hearers. 1t Is one
thing for people TO listen TO prof.
table religious discourse and quite an
other thing for them to absorb Its
lessons and put them into practice
In everyday life. This negro parson
has hit upon the cNpedient OF keep
in ghis teachings in black and white
before his people from one week end
to another, thus, giving them no
chance TO avoid his showers OF wis
dom by the use of moral umbrellas
or to forget from an Sunday to an
other the good advice he has given
them. We rather think more of this
preachers chance for usefulness than
the one who implores his members to
choose hts topics for him.

M1RELY CLERICAL ERRORS.

Thinking Love OF you!--
How 'twould soothe my weary brain
To fold you to my heart again,
And our Love renew!
And thus you seem again to be

Riding meath the stars with me,

In tho oldon, dear, dead days
