PREACHERS AND POLITICS.
ruitXD Swoope: My brother Ezekiel has
a sou who thinks he knows a thing or two.
He is verry conceit. His name is David.
If his siiiu was as elastic as gutta-percha, I
think he would swell to the size of au enor
mous bnliock. He wants also to be a grout
Loco Foco, as some peopl: are called by the
profane. lie came down on me the other
day. like a tornado from the Appetiines. I
suppose he thought he would anihilate me at
once. Weil, I will send thee , the dialogue
that passed between us. and thee shall judge
whether he has succeeded. It was pretty bold
in the young "spalpeen" to attack an old
grey headed man in this way ; but I dont mind
that, as it gives me an opportunity to speak
for the truth.
Djrii Well, Zedekia thee has got to be a
great politician, and a writer, too, for the pa
pers. I think old folks should be thinking
about a better would than this, and leave these
political matters to us young men, we can at
tend to them. "
Zedekia Darid, I have a mind to speak to
thee as Job- spake to his wife ; "Thee speaks
as one of the foolish young men speak,' and
knows not what thee says. Age and experi
ence give wisdom, and all the wisdom that can
bo had is needed to save the., political ship
from wreck.
Davii But Zedekia, the world is wiser
than when you were a boy, and we young men
kno-v batter bow to mange these matters than
you old men do, you should leave this matter
to us.
Zel. David, why is thee unwilling thnt I
should be a good citizen, and do all th
duties
of a citizen even my whole du'y.
Davui But Zedekia, is it not wrong to mix
religion and politics 1
Ze l. What does thee mean, David, by mix
ing religion and politics ? I want to know what
thee means by mixing them ? Who his sep
arated theni f God has riot.
David Why every body is talking about
mixing religion and politics, and the papers
are saying a great deal against preachers mcd
ling with politics, as if it was a great sin, and
I think it is wrong for good men to have any
thing to do with politics.
Zex. Well David, if thee will listen like a
boy of sense, I will try and deliver the from
some very foolish and wild notions, for there
is much truth in the old proverb, that "young
folks think old folks are fools, but old folks
know that young folks are fools." It is wrong
David, to have a good government '
David No, -certainly "not.
Zii. Well, is it not more probable that
good men will make a good government, th ;n
that wicked men will do it?
David I sut -pose it is : Men do not gath ?r
grapes of thorns : but I dont like this mixing
religion and politics.
Zed. David, a good man cannot separate
his religion from his daily conduct ; if ir? does,
he acts irreligiously, and is an irreligious
man. consequently lie cannot separate lis
religion from h
politics.
David Well, good men and preachers have
no ri.ii.iit to meddle with politics.
Zed. Can yo:i show me Divid, where God
has exone-ated gool inen aal rea.;h jrs from
their duty to their country, and their fellow
men ? Has he given them a different moral
law from the common one, or have they not
the same duties to perform that other men
have ? and must they not account to God for
the performance, or non-performance of those
duties, just as -others Uo. That which makes
the difference between a goo 1 in m and a bid
man, is. the performance or nou-peit'ormance
of his duties.
D nil If it is not wrong for Christians an 1
Ministers to meddle with politics, why do
the members of Congress, an 1 the pap?rs, aid
the lv.vyer3, and every body cry out agiin A it
so much.
Zed. And David, why does tii 3 wolf cry out
against the watch dg i simply beciuse he
wont let him carry oT the li'ii'i-j o.s hi pi-vis?.
The drjvil, and wicked men want to hive eve
ry tiling thir own way, they want the spoil,
and ministers and good men are awfully in
their wat some 1 ie3 ; just as the watch dog
is in the way of the wolf. What doe3 Christ
siy about this.- "If ve were of the world, the
j world would love its own, but because ye are
not of thi world, but I have chosen you out
! of the world, therefore the world hatelhyou."
j Dt.H But Z.'deki a, it is not every nTinis-
ter that tney nil against, it is only trios? th.it
are meddling with other peoples business, and
preaching polities. They like well enough,
those who preach the gospel and let other
things alone.
Zed. David, if it would not be very ugly
in me, I would call thee by a hard name, but I
will just say. thee h is not got thy eyes open
yet, thes is like a little kitten, thee sees noth
ing at all. The world are pleased with minis
ters, just as chil Iren are pleased with puppets,
becaun they can mike them play io their imnL
A minister may fire away agunst the sins of
the man in the moan, or agtinst the sins of
the men before the flood, or he ma- coins
down to the sins of the Pharisees, and of Her
od, and of Pel ite, and ot'Juln, aa l Simon
Mangus, if he only wont preach so as to lead
them to draw au inference against themselves,
and the people will be well enough sitisfied;
but let him level his gun agiinst their own
wrongdoings, and there is an awful screaming
. D tsii Bat how is it th it sonu ministers
C:in get along smoothly enough. No person Ins
any harm to siy vf them, when they dont me 1
dle with other peoples lasines3, nor preach
politics.
Zel. I can tell you how they doit, David.
They load their arms with blank cartridges,
ihr.y d7d f.ut Lulls iui their guns, and conse
quently they hurt no body. A pre if her may
bluster, and froth and foam as much as he
pleases, ho may lovi his gun with powder up
to the innzz'.e, and mike ever so loud a report,
no holy is afraid of it as long aa there is no
m;til in the ch irge. Every body m ty be
pleased with the "sound and fury." But let
him onzi loid with ball and grape, and there
will ba an awful fluttering among the wounded
audagreat compliant agiinst Lim. ,
Dicil But Uncle, some men can put bull
and grape, as you say, into their guns, and yt-t
get along smoothly, when they dont meddle
with politics .
Zel. That may be David, provided, they
point them at the man in the moon, as I siid,
and hurt no body, or they may succeed pretty
well, asy .M miy suppose, if they will take
care to level their pieces at some poor oppres
sed, downtrodden, wronged man, that nobody
cires for, or who is so far crushed, and friend
less and dispirited that he wont resent it, or
One who mi' be such an outcast, and outlaw,
an I so vulgir in his sin, that few associate
with him. But let them fill their gun with can
ister and grape ; let their firn biainud at some
fashionable wickedness; let them play into
soma strong citadel of sin, or let them throw
their shells that they may burst in the midst
of wickedness in high phases, and every "mon
grel, puppy, whelp, and hound' will begin to
bark at them. The rich, and the plunder
seeker, and all their hangers on,' "who bend
I the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift
roiy follow fawning, -join in the cry, "away
with hira! away, with him ! crucify him ! cruci
fy him ! it is not fit that sach a fellow should
live upon the earth."
- David Uncle thee is getting fanatical.
What is the matter with thee. i '
ZV I mi not fanatical, nor hende myself,
but speak forth the words of truth and sober
ness. Thee knows how we Friends condemn a
hired ministry. Some people think when
they hire a minister, they hire bis conscience,
soul, heart, mind and body, as if while he
preaches to them that they should have ho oth
er God before Jehovah, yet that he himself
should take them for his God, and fear and
please them. What right has he to a con
science of his own ! ther have hired him.
What business has he to think for himself, or
to exercise his own judgment, they have hired
him. What has he to do with serving God,
and saving his own soul, and keeping himself
unspotted from the world ! they have hired
him to preach their preaching. Let a minis
ter obey God, rather than man, and they will
do to him as they did to God. "If they have
called the Mister of the house Beelzebub, how
much more they of his household."
David But Uncle Zedekia, thee are too
severe. When preachers meddle with poli
tics the- affront people, and they wont hear
them so that they can do them no good, they
ought to mind their own business, and let pol
itics alone. ' .
Zi . Who has male politics the business
of any man, if not Go 1 ; and ho has made
it the business of all men. One man is not
born with the reigns of Government in his
hand.s, and another with the yoke ot bondage
on his rack. One man is not born with a
gold3n spoon in his mouth, and another with
a leather apron about bis loins. And now to
speak ironically, if ministers should not preach
politics, what would become of the politicians.'
who would save their souls? When ministers
preach politic5!, what a general revival, of re
ligion takes place all over the country. The
members of Congress become exceedingly
devout and begin to speak with other than
their accustomed tongues : the political press
becomes exceedingly religious flnd begins to
preach to the preachers, and even the lawyrs
themselves to receive the spirit, and go forth
to publish what they believe to be the duty of
preachers and church members; and they be
come very dexterous at handling the word.
Why so great was the awakening last fill, that
even Wm. F. Packer was so powerfully ex
ercised, that he delivered a sermon of two
hours length in our Court House Avherein he
went over the bible fnjni beginning to end to
prove the Know Nothing! were anti-Christ, or
Mystery Babylon, or the men of sin, or tho
great dragon, or the bear villi three ribs.in
his mouth, cr some other horrible beast men
tioned in scripture.
D.,rWhy my dear Uncle Zedekia, thee
seems to have changed thy sentiments very
much on the subject of al.ired ministry. Tiiee
seems now to be th:-ir advocite and defender.
Zed. By no m ans, David, a hire I ministry
is the object of my greiteit aversion, I have
no language to express my uitei ahhorance of
the whole class. A man that will prof-ss to
preach Gods word, and hire Liuiseli to preach
to this people or that, what they nay dictate,
is the most ' despien.b! ; of ail felons. The
heartless, unprincipled politition who will sell
his votes in the legislature to the highest hid
den, and thus barter the best interests of bis
constituents for his own gain, is a saint in
conjpirison with him. No upright, christian
mm cm, for .a moment, thins of selling, or
hiring out his right of private judgement or
his individual accountability, or his liberty to
ohvy God for himself, and to keep his own
conscience, and to do Lis own duties. The
man that can do th'?;? things c m commit any
crime. Bat I can tell thee, David, some min
isters that thr-e, and others lik.5-.thee, call
hired preac'iers, h-.ve never, and will never
hire out a h v:r of their lieids. Ttiey arc con--secrated
to God, and will think speak a:;d act
for themselves as "Christians m ay, aslree
nienc ui." Their gre it offence, is, they will
not s"li thems dves. Their congregations, the
would-be poli'.itiuns, the plunder hunters, and
spoil s.'ekeis, and all, can neither cajole nor
drive them from their high position of con
sciencions uprightness and integrity. Tho
whole front rf their oM'idiug is thai they can
not be bribed o -r hire I to swerve from t!io!r
own views of right, th it thev will, (stubborn-
Iv ns thev julje.) persist in acfinjr accordina
to their o-.vii jn-1 cement iii 1 conscience.
Drvil But Uuole, while thee talks pretty
well, and appear to make the wrong tho better
side, thee have not answered my objection
that it is wrong to mix religion an 1 politics.
I want the? to answer th:it.
Ze '. T wish theiha.l brahisenough to under
stand what is religion. Heligion is not a tiling
that a man may j..;t into a bind box. It is a
principle controlling a man's life. As I - told
thee b-fore, God has not separated religion
an 1 politics, and in m cifio! without destroy
ing all true religion in himself. Keligtoi re
quires th it man shall at all times, do all things
in reference to his account ibility to God, and
t!;i;; accountability extends just as much to his
political actions, as to his social or his domes
tic. Now. Divid. God is th; author of re
ligion, and Jesus Christ is th? head of the
Church. Tharefore when any government or
political pirfy will attempt to dictate '-cl -pions
duties that Cms', the head of the church
has not Assigned, .in I that are Inconsistant
with his laws, it is thednty-of every man who
owns -dletrierce to Christ to resist, and to
preach i -liust it. Religion must foster gov
ernment: must infnsr noti'i-'l hones'y into the
hearts of povernmeufs. and parties. It is the
basis of all right political action, and it is the
duty of every minister to preach against po
liticil sin, and enforce politic ildufy. I would
not listen to a mm preaelith.it would be so
far recreant to his God, as to l y asi le his
own manhoo 1, his own conscience, his own
sense of wright and wronp. to preach what the
people siy, to please political sinners, to suc
comb to wickedness in high places, either lor
the sake of tho "dollars and dimes," or to
avoid the reproach of God's enemies, or to
keep his place in the church, or any other low,
sordid motive. That man has not gift honesty
jnongh to be my preacher I cannot trust him.
If he will kep back the truth from others, for
feir of o.fcndinp them, or for the sake of plea
sing them, he will keep it back from me for
feir of offending me, yes he would sell me to
the devil" fur either my good opinion or my !
money. Why not l?t preachers, if they are'
hooestand inteligent, (and none should preach j
hut those who are) utter all fhat is in their
hearts. We need some person to tell us the
truth and the whole truth. None dislike to
hear the truth, but those w ho are determined
to have their own way, without regard to the
right. Those who take tho right as their rule
of action, want to hear the'- truth, and those !
who wish to accomplish their selfish ends by any
means, right or wrong, do not want to hear.it.
There is another tiling. David, I want to toll
thee. Thee seems to have quite a di-Iike to
preachers, do they hurt thee with the truth?
Do they knock thee hard with God3 law?
Then stand from under. Do right and" thee
shall have the praise.
Because a man elevates himself to the ser
vice of God, and his fellow men; because he
preaches the Gospel, in selfdenying toil; he
has not renouncsd pno of his constitutional
rights or privi'iges, or duties, as a citizen . of
our country. He is still a man and a citizen,
with all the rights and priviliges of any other
citizen, and David, thee is not a republican,
thee is not a democrat, thee is not a friend of
liberty, thee is not an honest man that would
deprive him of exercising any of these rights,
merely because he is a preacher. Better de
ny them to thee, because thee is a op and an
empty head, and an empty heart. Thee has
began to call me dear , Uncle, but thee is not
worthy to be the son of a brother of mine. .
Now let ine tell thee what one of these pol
itical preachers of revolutionary times, did,
and he, too, as thee might say, a hireling.
When Washington and his Army w;re laying
at Valley Forge, so destitute that they marked
the snow and the clods with the blood of their
bare feet, a Presbyterian minister heard that
these soldiers, who had crossed " the Delaware
in the mid-winter to drive back the foe, had
vol linen even to bind up their wounds. And his
people had no linen to spare, fo- they had al
ready given. Vet when he met his .people ott
the next sabbath, lie told them of the desti
tute condition of the army, and advised the
women of his congregation, (lie had not many
others, they were in the army.) to cut off the
lowtr part of their shirls, (I suppose 1hee is
not such a fool in these matters as thee is in
politics, and knows that they wear them longef
than the men,) and that he would mount his
horse the next morning and call round and re
ceive them, and take them to the army. ,3nd
they did do if, and he did take them to Wash
ington at Valley Forge, and Washington's bet
ter of (hanks for this patriotic deed is now in
the possession of one of the decendents of
this minister. No doubt their wounds healed
quicker by being bound up v i!h such linen,
f rom such donors.
Again, David, some of these ministers thee
hates so, are the sons of Revolutionary heroes,
and are heroes themselves. Our constitution
al rights and privileges, our liberty and Amer
icanism, our glorious institutions ' and social
enjoyment were purchased by the blood of their
sires. None know so well how to prize our
American birthright as they; none can so well
estimate the value of our free institutions as
they. Here no one can lord it over their con
science. Here is no Stute church to grind the
poor, for here they planted "a church without
a bishop, and a State without a king."
Moreover, David, many of the revolutionary
tales and incidents and "hair breadth escapes"
were written by these same ministers. Now
sir, is it not too bad that young fops like thee,
and ihy friends from the '-null cvn'ree,''' should
deny to the "sons of the sires of seventy six"
their rights as AMERICAN citizens, won for
them by the blood of ihe.r ou n fathers, and be
queathed to them as their only legacy, (be
sides their own honest fame,) by those same
sires, w ho spent their sweat and their blood
in the service of their country. Is it endura
ble, sir, that chicks, just out of the shell, that
tho slaves of despotisms" beyond tho ocean,
whom we have warmed into life, shall drive us
from the heritage of our fathers, shall wrest
from us, the .icred boon bequeathed to us by
our own sires Or shall they do thiitoany,
merely beouse he labors to do them good 1 y
preaching the Gospel to them ! Never,- -No,
