«* to hoar the sermon of IhsoRev. W.
IB. Jennings at the Flnrt Presbyterian
Ch'tfch yesterday were not only inter-
rated but hod given to them some new
Ideas oe politics as polities Is related
to religion and morals. Tbs discourse Is
tborougMy logical and, though brief,
tdughlt the Irwone the preacher In
tended to teach in the strongest pot-
stble way.
To those who were unable to hear
the sermon the following synopale will
prove of unusual Interest:
Proverbs 11:10. "When it gooth well
with the righteous, the city rejoicnUi,
had when the wicked perish there
Is shouting,"
1 wnnt to speak to you this morn
ing on some of the moral aspects of
last week's election in New York- city.
Hut before doing so, it may b# well lo
Inquire what Is the relation of the I
pulpit or, rather, of religion tu politics. 1
To, often they are kept entirely dls- '
«!nct to the injury of both. There Is
the fear on Che ono hand that religion,
which Is holy, would toe desecrated by
dragging it Into political concerns. On
tliv vlber hand, when religion attempts
to glva shape to political nrovemecvto,
or die pulpit speaks on political ques
tions the cry Is: "It is the tyranny of
prlcsjcrfat." Bus why should religion
not concern Itself with politics? Its
mMui is lo kuveo the Whole lump of
hunwu swcltey. No fault Is found whin
It altumpus to regulate cotpmeroe, or
literature ur science or society or pop
ular uinusemvms. It proclaims the
standard by which all those are to be
judged. Why exclude It from tho one
Held of politics, and deem any utter
ance of the pulpit on pelltlosl matters
un unwarr.iinaiblo Imwxeronce? "Far
religion to withdraw from politics it
to Bund tool: linporiaui: region of life
over to the devU.'' The Bible h.m very
miicn to «uy nboet guvcrumeiito and
public affairs, unu the pulpn, whim 1*
Mlt to tench the world, cun mford lo
say no leas. As a lute writer has said:
"hi tn not tu be supposed that purely
religious subjects enould be obtruded
on the tiocongoninl platform of a pub
lic meeting. Very possibly they would
be resented; wo are not to cast pearls
before swine, in pubilo life nice dls-
lia-'iloos of erred, line varieties of ab-
Hj-uct dogma and academic discus-
siuas of cheordiicnl divinity tiro
brushed aside us mete odbwebj ns com-
»pared to the serious, pcuctlcal, prtseot-
day questions that nre at stake. The
principal Inlluonce of religion on poll,
tics must bt moral. Tilal Inltueuce Is
dlredl and real. The religion of polities
Is Iho irc/ral sy of public lift 1 , viewed
III the light of God."
I am satisfied thut the pulpit has made
n serious blunder by refraining so gen
erally from tho dtocuotlon of potracat
manors In so far iu they Involve moral
bwura. I do not feel, aimrefore, that |
uetd to make any apology (Or my mib-
jeot today.
A naumldeent victory has been won
In New York city, the metropolis of our
gre.t country. With 1 lotensest interest
: wo have followed the oynteSUng par
tita In all their movements; elmoit
brraWilanly did »v await the result;
nml when w« hennl That the party
which represents nil than Is right had
completely defeats drive putty no long
entrenched and grown hoary In sin. the
wards of tho text were fulfil!'*], there
was widespread rejoicing and snouting
among the better classes of our pcopk.
There are many gwwi for rejoicing In
this victory.
Flnst. I rejoice In ft* testimony to
the power of tho pulpit. The. pulpit lo
the divinely otxhilmil nouns for the
preservation of moral purity and the
aMration of the world. It should be. it
lx, the iwwt powerful agency for good
In the world. Hut lately we- have heard
much e-bout the waning power of the
P'-lL;vt, Men hove cptnpufwfl it to dam-
nan shorn of his locks, n once powerful
factor, but no longer so. U there be
danger of the pulpit losfn.g Its power.
It lies, 1 verily believe, In Its exchtr-lve
devotion to the dlscix-slnti of do. trine.
raUher than to -that of groat moral i.«u?n
of the dav. Hut how avis this great '
reform In New York municipal affairs I
brought shoot? Was ft not Ihnuglt* ‘
rated by a Christian mlnfertcr, and one
of our own th-tvomlnslMt, as well? t
Wien a fow yettra ago the Rev. Dr. ;
IWrkhurst began hi* crusade by turning ,
the search light of pemnnwl Imeattga-
tlon upon the moral post hole* of that
city. Imtumly every veto*, w«U nigh,
was rained lignins: him. The ore**,
from the great dallies In his own oily lo
the lower pipens In mir own city, raised
a howl of rondeowMttcax and opposition.
A regular ehoriui of condemning volees
sum raleoi against him. lls was oven
rutled a corrupter of youth and charged
with partk-limlon In the Wafkrat Fine.
But. ■preraQ at. falsely jmlgxvl. severely
orllleKed, 'he stood firm, and unhesi
tatingly carried on rite work e,f ex
posure. The strong arm of the law was
Invt'ked and many guilty ones were

brought lo conviction. Then, when vie-
same press wtUeh -' cowardly attacked

ently opposed hhn in the earlier stages
of Ms work, turner! at-tui to fawn on
him. ami even vfnlms in great part the
ere II! of the victory. Mark it. I ».i> i-
la-the power of the pulpit which has
brought about Una mighty revolution.
Otre paper hss been candid enough
to attribute the -,-lory to Dr. Parkhurst.
t-l tlie New York World, lasmal on the
mom-trig following the oleetion. waa a
fine picture of Dr. Parkhuret, with the
title benei-th II. "The unofficial hero of
the hour.” and a day later the same
paper said editorially:
"To Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst more
than to any other min belongs the
credit of the defeat of the Tammany
ring and the promise of puriflcatlon U
the ejty government. .
"It Is eminently proper, therefore,
that the people of New York should
express. In some substantial manner
their appreciation of Dr. Farkhunt's
great services end rare character. We
suggest that a teettmoaal of tbulr re-
garJ and their gratitude be provided
by a spontaneous popular subscription.
"Whether this shall tike che form of
a perronal or artistic tribute, or shall
be rleated In some way to tjie great
work of moral reform to which Dr.
Parkhumt Is devoted, la a nutter for
after consideration. But that the city
should honor ttself by honoring him In
tome way Is Oo doubt the feeling of
thousands.
"The World will welcome auggtsr.ors
on (this subject. How shall the honest
and decent peopie of New York express
their gratitude to Dr. Parkhurst and
their rtwpsct for his character?"
A comparison of toe pulpit's lnflu-
euoe -with that of the press In this
campaign reveals the superior power
of -tide former. Not Infrequently do you
hear k said that the press Is the most
powerful factor in our modern civili
zation. I know that the press colls It-
self "the fourth estate." and many of
our editors rank their Influence below
that of the ministry. But them are
rather the exceptions. The press has
proven Itself unable heretofore to drive
these great mun.'clif U wrongs from
their btrongholds. Jit may have been
the Impocoucy of unwilllngntss, but It
woe Imjwtency, none toe less. Yea, the
press In Urge measure hod suocumbed
to the powers of evil, tbo press was
gagged. As long as the light was pure
ly a moral Issue the newspapers were
silent. When It became a political mat
ter, then the press feebly offered its
aid. Only as tne cause grew stronger
and 'Oja pr4fpoeQ of victory grxv,'
brighter did It openly come oct on the
side of the right Wuen It did heartily
avow Itself on the side of reform Its
strength was tremendous. Perhaps
there -wus one exception to wlm I have
said, and the only one that I know
of, among the graft metropolitan dai
lies. The World seems to have stood by
thg minister of tit..' gospel from the
beginning of the political tight. Mr.
Goif wioie the World: "It has doni
more 'than any other agency to win
this tight. Front th# commencement It
was determined, definite and uncom-
promloliig. In the midst of uncertainty
It was cerium. When fear dominated
the public mind the World sounded a
bugle note which Inspired confidence
that hat been maintained, and 'die peo
ple fliave nobly rui ponded. Dr. Park-
Iturst voluntarily testified than "the
World never fought a liner battle than
111 this campaign.” But, In spite of
these admissions, any Candid mind
mast confess limit the power thin did
tlie work wvus that of the pulpit. The
pulpit was greatly aided by the press;
but the press never Would have ac
complished the resutt without toe pul-
pit. Now, let those who cry tho pulpit
Is kMlng Its power hold iholr peace,
and acknowledge that it Is a Christian
mltrlsCer who has done this unparal
leled good work.
Buit why Should there bo any antag
onism or Jealousy between Hue press
and the pulpit? Neither is so efficient
without the other. It has been demon-
•trated In this campaign that the pul-
ptt needs the old of the press, and vice
versa, and I son firmly persuaded
that In our awn city, so cruelly mis-
governed, If reports be true, and
throughout our broad country, If tho
pulpit and the press will but Join
kith political evils they can accomplish
forces In open, determined iwnrfcirc with
any -desired result. Tho combined pow
er Of a fearless pulpit and a fearless
press is Irresistible.
Scoond. I rejoice in thin victory again
because It la the express deelnre.tlon of

the people that moral law shall have
a place In polities and governnKrnl.
John J. Ingalls, then a rmenber of the
wmtte of the United Staten, was ohaute-
fseod enough to declare a few years
ago that -the decutogue has no place In
a political campaign. Here Is the entire
utterance: "The puriflcatlon of politics
Is an iridescent dream. Government Is
force. Politico In a battle for oupremticy.
Panties are the nrmlee. The decalogue
nnd the golden rule have no place In a
political camptdgn. To defeat iihe an-
tatranlst and exj>0! the party In power
deceive the adversary, to hire Henslann,
Is the purpose. In war it 1s lawful to
purdhaiso mercenaries, to mutilate, to
kill nnd to destroy. , The commander
who lost a buttle -through the activity of
his moral nature would ho the derision
nnd jtiw of history. This mtslern cant
about the corruption of pet!Wei is th-
tlgnlne in the extreme. It proceeds
from the tffl-custurd nod syllabub ditto.
l*S«y, Che frivolous nnd deeuRory
aentimcmtallnm W cnlccnco." '
It 1s most gratifying to recall 'hat
Ihe people, truer to the morel Instincts
of humanity, promptly exprvosed their
disapproval of such dcotructlve aentl-
mcivts by relegating their author to un
official life. But such nn expression has
wrought untold harm, ami has result-
o' In a widospruid and deep degradn-
lion of political U/e. Evidently those
who were tn power In New York city,
as well as nrnry In our own city and
throughout the land, had concluded
ihnt. there waa no place for the moral
law of God in politics. At all events, ft
mas a <lr-i.l letter In New York. It was
I'kally dJrregnnk'il. shamefully tram-
pled under foot. Now the peopte, tn a
yet more conspicuous manner, have
protested that tho moral law Shall gov
ern tn municipal nftalrs. They have
turned those who dleregarded tt out of
office, and instead have put tom power
tnon who at leuot give promise thru
they will conserve uml enforce the prin
ciples of nux-nllty. One of the New
York dnWIes says: "The too command-
menta have prevailed—'Thou Shalt not
steel nor Ue. nor barter anuy the richtfl
of ihe oily to profeoalcnal nborilnnlsts,
rays the pepla of the city to Traimany
Hall. No one can measure the practi
cal effect of the votes recorded i.xlay.
The triumph of the reform ticket of
New York means honest elections here-
after, and will cut off a revenue of
mllll'us which the Democratic pasty
ha« nrawn from vice and crimp. The
defeat of Tammanv sends back to pow-
brlera Ignominy ihe whole band of bri-
kstuVi by whom the city has been
rohbed and returns to the honest people
the power to govern themslves."
Tlint uwriis In pollllni are necessary
to the I Ability of a ntrty nod of a peo
ple hue been Impressed upon us from
mo* suelent times. I have just been
re.nhr ted of a warning of Domosttwiwa:
"It Is Impossible. O. men of Athene,
thst a man who Is tmlust, pen-ersenod
nlUa should ncnulre a firm and estate
llxh.-d power. Ills policy may answer
for once, mav hold out for a brief period
snd flourish marvellously In expects- i
timia. if it succeed: but In eourae of '
time It la found out. and rushes Into ;
ruin of Its own wvirht. Juxt as the
foundation of S house or the keel of n 1
ch-io should be live strongest part of the I
structure, si Area It behoove that the j
sources and orinel-iles of public conduct i
should be true and lust. Tills Is not the
case ad the present rime with the ac- l
tlons of PhHltp." Here. then. I say '
there Is reason lo ro! vice that tfls peo- i
pie have declare.! that the rr.vr.tl law 1
must be «*«aerve.l In politics, in muni
cipal dnemment. or those who are' la
office wik be shamefully put out. Bel
those who misrule our own city take

on the moral las-.
Third. A third reason for rejde'ng |
la -this victory la the .isecranoe that
