The Boston Recorder, one of the uldest and best religious papers in the United States, is taking strong ground against clergymen leaving their pulpits to become legislators or politicians. ministers are determined to be politicians should they not be encouraged to leave their pulpits, and to leave them perma- nently, rather than convert them into rostrums for political harangues ? If they were away, the places which they occupy might be filled by men who would feel the power of the Gospel in their own hearts, and preach it to the perishing.

To succeed asa politician, one must give his heart and ene the business. His zeal must kindle upon it. It must occupy his public and his private hours. But if a minister thus devotes himself to politics or legislation, his mind is, by necessity, in a great measure withdrawn from the sacred work to which he stands pledged to be wholly devoted. No man can serve two masters. No man can fill properly two positions, so far remote as the pulpit and the political rostrum. The minister, who has a good standing in his profession, will be unwilling to become a politician unless he can achieve success also in that line. But this success is not to be gained by a mere nominal or official connection with political affairs. {fe must carry his heart and soul into them. He must ply a busy mind, not only in studying the obj-cts of legislation, but in working the more complex machinery of — politics. Uifices are to be gained and given. Elections are to be provided for and man- aged. And, however upright the man himself may be, he is almost necessarily brought into contact with much that is questionable, and evin base, in the arts of political intrigue and management. His mind, soto speak, is made to breathe in an atmc sphere that benumbs the spir- itual sensibilities and hardens the heart. After one has spent the six days of the week in the midst of such an atmosphere and in such employment, he is but poo: repared, we must believe, to come fo: to his people on the Sabbath and unfold to them the unsearchable riches of Christ, whose kingdom is not of this world. “Tt is sad for the interest of the Church, aud is adapted to arrest the progress of religion, when the impression obtains with any respectable portion of the public that the ministry are a set of ambitious schemers, seeking more for the honors or emoluments of office than se- curing the eternal interest of their hear- ers. And yet, what else would be likely to be thought of the ministry, if clerical legislators were to abound ? greatly exaggerated report went out, af- ter our State election last fall, that some sixty or seventy clergymen had been elected to the Legislavure of this State, we felt mortified and ashamed ; yea, and sad, and solicitous tor the interests of re- When we afterwards learned that the greater part of this number were Methodist and Universalist ministers, we felt somewhat relieved.
