the evil ways into which restless and ill-balanced orators ""of the church too readily stray is that of playing the demagogue and the agitator in times'of popular' ex- citement. Eager for the glory of leadership and feeling, no sense of responsibility to the AMONGduties of their hign calling, such men rush to the front at meetings where discontented men are gathered, and with something of frenzy^in word and manner they rouse and madden the more reckless or more sensitive of the mob until some of them, as ill-balanced as the clerical ora- tor himself, but more prone to blows than to speech, rush away to the*commission of crime. The power of oratory over excited minds is well known. When a whole community is dis^ turbed, when for a time respect for law wavers and men begin to believe that lawlessness may be justifiable, when bitterness increases daily between contending factions, when the reckless are stimulated by the contagious influences of large crowds,' then the duty of an orator becomes a most serious and responsible one. Aninflammatory speech uttered by one having some show of authority may set fire to the spirits of the mob and precipitate a riot, when calmer and wiser •words might have restored respect for law, and re-established th*e harmony that is necessary for

Of all orators at such, times those who are most, dangerous are the clerical demagogues who feeling they will not be involved in the fighting, and having nothing to lose by anything that may happen, give free rein to,the on-rushing wildness of their eloquence and urge;per^ suade, exhort and impel excitable men to open riot or secret crime. The very dignity of his call- " ing which should have been a restraint upon the clerical demagogue is used by him as a means 1 to make his. words more dangerous. With cunning skillhe weaves into his harangue !quotations from Holy Writ, speaks now as a pastor of the people and now as a revolutionist, owpg allegi- ance to nothing r The unreflecting listeners, burning with the flaming blaze of lurid rhetoric,' cannot distinguish between the pastor and the demagogue, the ;Bible and blasphemy. They ac- cept all as the teaching of an institution they have been taught to revere from childhood; and in a whirl of passion are led to violate the long established and well-known precepts of the / ,church by the very distortions which the clerical agitator ntakes of his clerical influence. The evils wrought by the wild utterances of these seekers after mischief and notoriety are far-reaching and affect many, but they work their direst wrong and harm in .the households, of CLEVER SOUND ARTISTE WHO those are most susceptible to the mad teaching. wives, WILL BE HEARD IN CONCERT who Mothers! sisters and children^have AT SHERMAN & CLAY HALL. had bitter cause to repent and mourn that the men of their families have been too ready to act there Is no suggestion declamatory of such orators.
