They sternly insist that ~_ the r'preacher must confine himself =7..strictly to theolrgy and avoid the -":§lig’htest danger of treading on any- F body’s toes. They prefer that he shall « dresdn spotless black. part his hair in *“them-i‘ddle if he is not too bald, look =::!Tit_‘.1}:’i;ll in the pulpit, read a chapter in "the Bible, give out a by mu or two, (it- liver a prayer or two, smoothly intone ‘ls ifew placid platitudes, and dismiss them with a round and unctuous bene- diction. But he must be careful and mot tread upon any person’s toes. New, preachers of the Gospel are rsapposed to be followers of Christ and Ito preach His doctrine, but can they do "80 without treading upon a great many gpersons’ toes? If the New Testament is a. correct history of the life and do- -ings o'f the Saviour of mankind, He was vnot in the least bit squeamish about ‘ltreading on people’s toes. ' He de- nouced the money changers and the -’§5cribes and Pharisees. He was out- spoken and unsparing in His denun- --ciation of fraud and corruption and mis— mse of power and tyranny. He did_ not v-spa‘re either the rich or the powerful, sand the highest rules of the world felt tithe sting of His righteous indignation stud His wrath. Now, how can His Gospel be preached truthfully unless it is preached in its —-s:ntirety? Howcan His disciples fol- éow Him unless they take, as He took, an active part in all matters of public «discussion ? The Scribes and Pharisees are as plentiful now as they were in "(lhrist’s day, probably more so. They :sttll grind the faces of the poor, rob 'Widows’ houses, cheat the orphans out “Of their birthright, steal the livery of theraven to serve the devil in, and for a miretense make long prayers. If the servants of Almighty God are not to «denounce those who seek to destroy Elie kingdom, upon whom does such Tintyfall? If the chosen disciples of “Christ are not to expose those who daily endeavor to crucify Him anew, who is toengage in.this [most necessary and .lwndablework ? The press does it, and the pulpit Should go hand in hand with the press via denouncing crime and outrage wherever it is found; in exposing fraud rand thypocrisy Wherever it raises its ahead. and in holding up to the scorn zen-d contempt of the good people of the ind the rascally pretense of the wolves tin sheep’s clothing. _ ' ‘if'hc pulpit as well as the press should ' find its duty in opening the eyes of the ‘zp-‘eople to the dangers that beset them unevery hand ; in endeavoring to check cine tide of evil that is sweeping over "the—country, and in the effort to make. wirtue show better than, vice by com- iiinrison. . in} other words, the preacher who nines not tread upon a great many toes ail-tiring the occupancy of the pulpit ' has ~:oriistaken his calling, and should em- t‘ea-rk in some other business. It is Only bythe. ceaseless treading" npon toes that abuses in high ~ and low .3. actor. places was corrected; that men in pow- er are kept Within the limits of right and jastch; that rich criminals some- times find their Way into the peniten- . tiary; that. SJulludl‘elS are driven from the temples that they are disgracing by their presence; that the poor andTeeble are allowed any privileges whatever, and that the people are guarded from becoming al ject and absolute slaves. It is the duty clevery pastor in the land to take part in every movement for the advancement Lf mankind for the vindication of the right and for the punishment of the wrong. He must not hesitate for fear of treading upon some one’s toes. . But here the question Comes up—and it is a sad 'rtproach to Christianity and civiliZation to hare to entertain such a rule of action—dare any preacher adopt such a rule of action, unless he is a man of transcendent til. nt, has an, income independent of all church emolumeni, or is absoliitely sure that there is no Scribes and Pharisees num- bered in his own congregation ?
