A few weeks ago we published from tbe North western Christian Advocate a hig» tory ot the preachers and politics in this country, showing very clearly that the preachers of this country, and that without regard to denomi- national lines, have tor a good while taken a hand where moral issues were involved, in political issues. A tew days ago Dr. W. N. Ains worth, of Savannah, gave* forth some very straight talk on this mat ter. Here is the manner in which he gave the subject to his Wesley Monumental congregation on a re*. ceDt Sunday: ‘‘The commission from God de-. termines the work of His servant, Jesus was sent to declare judgp. ment unto the Gentiles and to de- clare it untill it sha'l be established in tbe earth. This judgement is not the pronouncement of condemna tion and judicial sentence, but it is the declaration of the divine stand ard for the measuiernent of all things. “Just as in the Tow j r of London are kept those original standards of weight and measurement to which are referable all the scales and weights and m asurements of men, so God’s standard of life and con- duct must be declared in the earth, until all things shall he brought to His judgement and made conform able to His will. “This is the mission of God’s ser vants to day. His standard o equity, righteousness, mercy and truth must be proclaimed until 1 it set judgement id the earth. these standards have their auplieation to individual and social lile, to private and public morality, to personal corporate, social and civic concerns. God has His standard for all things men have to do. His servants in the ministry of His worn, are sent to proclaim these standards in all their varied application, and His servants in both pulpit and pew to live by them everywhere. ‘ There is a disposition to restrict this sphere of the Christian minis, try, and narrow the field of Chris tian service, which 1 cannot too strongly resent. To he specific, frequently asserted both in and out of the pulpit, that the pulpit has nothing to do with politics.. \\ ei‘, mine has, as most of them m al human history that have h'.d much to do with men, or that men have had much to do with. “With mere partisan politics or issues that are non- moral, the Chris tian pulpit has no concern, but where men defy God in the corrupt tion of government, buy ballots,steal offices, vacate oath, and debauch so ciety bv law or the lack of it, the prophets ot God must cry aloud and ..pare not. The Christian goal is for law and the administration of law to be brought into harmony wuh tbe law or God, which is righteousness. God’s servants must told up the standard until ‘He «nda forth nidge ment unto victory.’ “The Methodist pulpit has ever stood for the regeneration of the in dividual as .the unit in redemptive work The good man mu>t make the good society and the good gov ernments. Personally, at last nine-tenths ot these blessed pulpit hours are given to the glonous mes sa c,es of God’s saving grace, but i is the glory of Methods that .t has a full gospel ,or every social-de mand as well as every personal need- ct y Messenger. sidered as a mere adjnnct to their theology standing separate and apart from their daily life. They did not divide the spiritual from the secular. They did not have one kipd of conscience for one side of their lives and another for another.’ “The Bible is the preacher’s texts book, and it covers a large field. It declares the judgement of God for all the duties and relationships of human life. Tbe prophets of God find tkeir messa te there.” There was never in the history ot this country a time when tbe thun.- der tones ot the pulpit were more needed than no w to aid j n the for mation of a wholesome public santi- ment on all moral i suesi For we are, as a people, m a state of anar chy. Just think ot it! Here among a civilized people— a people claim ing to be a Christian people—there are the mo.4 shocking evidences of the lawlessness oi the people. Bands of night, marauders bnrn the prop- perty of honorable citizens because the honorabL- citizens do not obey the lawless demands as to the dispo- tion of property. And only a few days ago in the adjoining state of Tennessee two lawyers were taken from tbeir room in the hotel at night by a band ot lawless men, and one of them foully and brutally murdered, the. other, thought to be, but escaped as it by v miracle, and all because these law yers had part in preventing the law less from fishing in a certain lake in that state. The Governor of the state has offered a reward of $lo,*« 000 for the arrest ot the guilty par ties, and has given up his campaign tor the office to which he aspires, that he may the more certainly have apprehended the miserable anar chists and murderers who have ter rorized the people ot one state and shocked the sensibilities ef millions of peoples in other states. How long, at this rate, will it be before decent, law-abiding people of this country must light their fires at night, or-eat their meals at the dic tation of a set of cowardly lynchers sneaking around the homes of de cent, honest people at night? In Georgia, in the last two weeks, in two places, blood hounds ami hundreds of citizens have been in pursuit of two criminals before whosq,guns four officers ot the state 1S fell cold in death. We started to lynching men for the nameless crim ; now, men aie 1 inched for suspicion of almost an} cr me, and as in the Tennessee case above cited, lawyers are horribly shot to death for defending the leg itimate interests of their clients. How long will it be before the law- abiding will have to form mobs to suppress the lawless? And then it will be a question of the most cap. acity for killing. In the iace of these things shall tbe pulpit be silent? Shall no offi cial, authoritative representative voice ot the eternal God be heard calling the people to the obedience to authority and tbe regard for law? Shall these watchmen raise no sig nal of alarm, utter uo voice ot warn ing, while this anarchy that terror izes and destroys grows bolder and more cruel under the inspiration of bad men and designing time-servers? —Wesleyan Advocate. uniform standard of morals tor men andwomen and deplore the exis tence ofthe white slave traffic.
