CARNESVILLE, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 7 888.
CHURCH AND STATE
POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.
For several years, the pulpit of
America has been prone to meddle
with the affairs of the govern:ent
and with pci tical questions. Iij,
many instances it has undertaken to
tell the people how they should vote
and what soit of laws should Le pas¬
sed, It has made many efforts to
put God in the Constitution, as they
term it, to pass laws praliibitipg the
dosing running of trains on ggg&y, for
up and yiittjug off pUcees and
jeans' <;if social enjoyment and reere
afiOfl on Sunday. Should «■
succeed, it wo” 1J ...e effort
£. •• perhaps cause a
iuner attendance at churches, as
there would be no other place to go
to; and it would also increase the
revenues ot the church. But the
the question arises; would the people
be benefited by the change? Of this
we hot e grave doubts. Many reasons
could be offeree why the present
state of society, and necessities of the
people, require the ruunirg of trains
on Sunday. In the great cities there
aie thousands upon thousands of
working people who would rarely
if ever sec the green field* and woods
or sniff the scent of the flowers, or
hear the birds sing, or breath the
fresh air, but for the cheap Sunday
excursions. It is possible that the
tin! liusbhnd, the overworked wife,
and the puny children, arc benefited
by a day in the fields and woods, or
upon the water , quite as much as
they would be, by a prosey sermon
on faith, election, baptism, or any
other subj ect. It is true, that the
people shonid attend church and
hear the gospel preached, but the
priests are not the only preachers,
nor are their sermons the most elo¬
quent and impressiye. Earth and
sky, mountain and plain, bird and
blossom, are all preachets of surpass-,
mg eloquense. The very stones pro¬
claim the greatness and grandeuor
of God, in language more impressive
than human tongue can utter.
It is not within the provinco of the
pulpit to say, how you shall vote or
by what laws you shall be governed.
Its business is, to develop the intel¬
lect and morals; chiefly the latter*
Had :t performed its duty more faith¬
fully in the past, it is possible, that
there would have bee toss need to
ciA out against corrupt votes and
bad laws now. To yield to the pul¬
pit the i ight to instruct, how the bal¬
lot shall be cast, is to place the
church above the state. It is a sad
sight to see the pulpit converted into
apolitical hustings, and a minister
of the gospel changed to a political
babbler. If history has established
any one thing, it is,that the church
1S a tyrant, .whenevet or whercever
it has had political power. Yield to

narrow grooves, i fie vagaries ot

whose i disordered , i and ov W1 on<rlit
.
brains are accepted as revalations oi
promptings from on high, the right
to contiol ballots and dictate laws,
and vou open ” the flood gates of op
pression and i corruption.
Happily for the people ot tuns
country, the founders of the gover
meut divorced the ^church from the
state. Fortunately the great mass
of iutilligent and well ballancod min
isters and laymen oppose the exer¬
cise of priestly political espoinage.
While this intermeddling of tho p»i
pit with politics, is doing mischief
in the state amt county, there is lit*

says; “The material being made of
the very commonest cotton, it can
be sold at a price lower than the

GONE AFTER WATER.
4 story is told on a Sunday
school teacher jn a certain back¬
woods settlements in a neighboring
county, which is worth publishing.
She had a new class of young schol¬
ars, the parents of which had flegs
lected to give them any instruction
in their catechism vylmt ever. Com¬
ing to the first boy in the class she
asked, him who made him. He did
not know. She told him God, and
urged him to remember it. Of the
next boy she asked who was the
oldest man. He did not know, and
the teacher told him Methuselah
So she went on down the class, ask¬
ing each a question and giving them
the answer.
While she was thus engaged the
first boy went to the bucket after
some water. The teacher returned
iq the head of the class, and not
knowing that any was absent she
asked the first boy who made him,
Without hesitation the boy quick*
ly replied, ‘‘Methuselah!”
“No, exclaimed the teacher in
astonishment, “God made you!”
“No, he didn’t,” persisted the
urchin, with confidence, “(lie boy
God made is gono after water,”
The readier gave up the class.—
