POLITICAL PREACHING.
Raymond of the New York Times,
gets disgusted with Beecher's system
of politics in the pulpit, and thus ex.
preâsea it :
The tntroductiön of religion Into the
secular affairs is certainly in bad taste,
favors of hypocrisy, besides being an
infraction of one of the great com
mandments of the sacred law, to re
ally devout minds this infringement
upon» the priestly functions has a
strong order of cant. It becomes dis
gusting, moreoTer, when ministers of
the Gospel, unmindful of their sacred
calling, make fhe pulpit the medium
of foisting their peculiar views on po
litical and ciirrent éecularities upon
thfir hearers, instead of inculcating
moral virtues and religious truths.
W« are led to these remarks upon
reading the report of a sermon deliv
ered yésterday at Plymouth church,
Brooklyö, by thé clergyman doing du
ty there in place of Henry Ward
Beecher, its pastor. Surely this
preacher was altogether forgetful in
his discpurse of the wise man's saying
that "there is a time for all things."
He not only was guilty of impropriety
but impertinence. His opinion' res
pecting the cause of the rebellion, the
perfidy and slave-worshipping of poli
ticians, the necessity of banging Jeff.
DkvU aiid his prominent supporters,
may or may not be considered sound,
but in any case it was surely improper
for him to cram his views down the
throats of a congregation assembled
to worship, to say nothing of the dis
courtesy of the thing, when it is con
sidered that the regular pastor of the
chureh entertains diametrically oppo
site views, at least respecting the
stretching the necks of the rebel lead
ers, and bas advocated clemency tow
ard them by speech and pen, with con
siderable persistence.
Clergymen who go outside their
calling as religious preachers, and set
themselves up as oracles on political
and purely sectional matters, will
doubtless be popular among that class
who are known by the itching ear ;
tbey are sincere and fervent detractors
from the dignity of their profession,
wbose preaching is altogether in vain.
God follows men ; Ho turns to them
more than they to Him,
