ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature--teaching them to observe
all ;things whatsoever" I Lave commanded
you:" And where dd wo find the instruc
tions given to ministers, touching the sub
jectis of their pulpit demonstrations? We
find the all things commanded in the Bible.
If we find any thing there in relation' to
civil government, of cour s e it is in so far a
legitimate subject fur the pulpit; if not,
th'en we yield the (ideation. Then it 'ap
t pears that We have
h ut to open our Bible
and; sec what are the subjects embraced in 1
' I it. Let us - thenproCeed. There we find 1
' the moral laiv, the tet - commandments, cop

"regard to this law society would not exist,
as it constitutes the very basis of social I or
' ganiration ; And the pulpit is the place to
explain and apply that law to the proper
subjects tif it; and who will deny that na-'
dons and government' are aubjeets of ' ; lbe
moral law? if, therefore,lnuistetseiplain
and apply the moral law to its proper sub

pit.' But let us examine further, here;i in

and Deuteronomy, zonfirms eur claim. Bat,
' further, in the book of Judge*. the books
of Samnel Kings, and Chronicles, we have
a civil history of - the Jews. And of what
use these laws and these histories to minie

swer—"All scripture is ;given by inspira
tion of God, and is - Profitable for doctrine,
forreproof, for correction; for instruction in
righteousnesi, that the man of God may be
perfect, thoroughly fdrniehed unto ell good
works." Theo we affirm that the pulpit
should exert its power in reference to poli
tics, becauie the fundamental principles of
all 1 right government are embraced WWI
instruction! to ministers as to the extent of
their official duties. And this is,the reason,
doubtless, why irreligious, immoral, and un
principled politicians would silence the pul
pit,npon the subject. They are convinced 1
that the _principles of the'. Bible applied to
their rotten politics , would stamp them L'itith
condemnation. l Teir hat red of apohtical
preaching"' rages .in ex act ,
,proporticin to
- their hatred of rand truth contained in the
Bible. For it is not the devoted friend
ad follower of Christ, that objects to 'the
vole of the pulpit upon 1 the principles of
government 'consonant with the word of
God. No, it is the corrupt, immoraL and
nften profane, brandy-bloated r..iOlitileiati,
whOse influence is exerted in the oar-room,.
morethan elsewhere, or the unyielding par
tisan, whose sole aim is to promote the; stec
cesS of his party, that he may share the
spoils, though it bent the expense of Jim
tice, and morality, and religion, and the
glory of God. But the,evil is not confined
to this class. There-a r e professors of reli
gion from whom we might expect better,
things, who re-echo the-same exclamatien
"The pulpit . 'has nothing to do with poli
tics." Su4.l prefeesor s are in their most
congenial eleinent.when they are clinging
to the skirts of such politicians, ind 'art
more delighted 'to :,hear the teachings of
some unprincipled political knave, (Melba
rangues being adorned, perhaps, with low
profanity.) than to hear-tan exposition of
the; sublime truths of the word of dal.
"Keep religion separate from politics," 'say
the ,politicians. "Amen !" say these pre
fessors of religion. And I"Amen!" whines
the drib dog • that cannot beak. And the
all-unportant subject of civil goyeyement—
God's own ordinance must be del;v;red
over into the bands ofod's enemies.
