THJ5 AlACOJy TJBUEGRAPJtt: MONDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 12, 1891. THE NEW YORK ELECTION Some Wholesome Moral Lessons That Are Draw Fiom tbo Result. iEV. MR. JENNINGS' SERMON, Tit* R.lstloa of th* Pulpit lo Politic »]|.r*l li.w 10 Hot# It. Flic.— Homan Netar. Sol Wholly D#eg.n.raf«* ttttoet perrons who were so fortunate «* 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 lory was perohlng on his banner, the brought lo conviction. Then, when vie- same press wtUeh -' cowardly attacked bkn In Che final fnslance. wnd persist 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 Awarded! Highest Honors—World's Fair. DU $m * CREAM BAKING P0WDR MOST PERFECT MADE, A pare C.rspe Citjm cf Tjilit Powder. Wee bom Ammonia, Alum or any other aduPtrsnt 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. 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.
