Loerae fromn the People. Christianity add Pary Politicas. Buitor Canoxacr.z: t3i,-The use cf lhe phrase "C0hrm than politician" oalesfur the sober pro- test cf every reflectimg mana. I do not mean ho say thst poliis wouid nol b. improved by an inereaeed infusion mbt i cf lh. spirit of Christ. Thst ho which I dosire te express my objection ie 1h. assamption by, or for, amy party,, or member Ihereof, oet Iis speciai designa- Sion. It may as welI, tee, bo under.; stooed thal I regard tbe proclivity téi kindred assomptions, wbioh is se mark* ed a oharacteriehie of more than onse o lhe politicai agitations that jil now disturb the commranity, as a notewortby indication of a danger, which alike tbreatmns le do hurt 10 pure religiona and trac liberty. The distinction hlat t h. phrase lus- plies is an invidilous one. A Ohristian's opoetmuat b. unobristian. To stigmatize bima as suoh, bowever, in honeet fashion might not be poiitic. Tbe culois of conduet given by Christ to bis foliowers are n9t, sud canmot, be aotid upon by amy politioian, or peuht- cal party. The Christian if, amitten on the rigbl cheek is te turn the other also,; if bis ceai be taken from kimu by legal chicane ho is ho gAve up hie oioak aIsO.; if cosnpeited by hie adveraary te go with bimn one mile ho is 10 go lwaim. learly viien Obristianity shail have, by slow evolution, growo te be the ruling power of th. e rd lb. race cf politicians viii bave become extinot, like man's fabled caudal appendage, being of no further use. In the mean- limae, the politician, or political purty, that foc bis, or ils, own aggrandizememl seeke te entablisaa âim le a mono. poly of the titi., muet do se at the expense of lhe good name ef Christian- ily.
