VOLUME 48.. MINISTERS’ SONS. | N_ elderly © correspondent writes criticising the allusion in a recen editorial to, ‘‘the tradition that ministers’ sons are Satan's special prey.” He saysi— It ts an old untruth. Quite the eon "trary fy true. A large number of our greatest men were ministers’ sons. “4. One of the greatest philosophers, Jonathan Edwards, and the greatest . histortan, Bancroft, were of these. 2 Two Presidents, Grover Cievetand and Chester Arthur. “3 Great poets and Authors, such as Tennyson, Lowell, Holmes, Emerson, (Citaries Kingsley, Matthew: Arnold, Cowper, Coleridge, Dean Stanley, Macaulay, * Thackersy, Swift, &c. : Bn 4. Other great men, such as Justices Field and Brewer, Morse, the inventor; Peter Stuyvesant, the Wesleys, Beechers and Spurgeons may be named to show ‘ ‘Ghat the of saying {s sn old untruth, perhaps born of prejudice or ignorance. ' * Many “old sayings are old untraths.”. They have their foundation mot 6n facts, but on impressions. When the son of a minister goes wrong the community takes ‘note of it. When a boy descended from | *tximinal parents and bred in poverty and vice commits a crime, little + * attention ts pald to him, but when a minister's son, as in the case cited ir = the editorial, commits forgery, his fatner’s plea for mercy is heard no * only by the court, but by the public. E f Many popular sayings are based more on tradition. than on practice. © Nevertheless there are germs of truth in them all. However distorted the general impression may be, there must have been some cause for the | starting of the idea. In the case of minfsters’ sons there fs a natural reaction. — Ministers as a class are godly men. The fashionable pastors of rich churches are _far from being samples of the occupants of the pulpits of the United States. Almost without exception they are men of pure lives working faithfully on small salaries at the dictates of their consciences to discharge their duty, as they conceive it, to the rest of mankind. | Whether pastor, priest, rabbi or by whatever title their religious de- + nomination calls them, they are actuated by one common purpose to do / good and to make the world better. Their salaries are less than the : wages of a skilled mechanic. They are the lowest paid of all the pro fessions. The same amount of conscientious ‘effort, of persistent in- __ dustry and of fidelity applied to any secular employment would bring Its natural that their sons should chafe against their fathers’ worldly * fimitations, It is not hard to understand a rebellious spirit in a bo) : raised in a family where every pemmy was weighed, although the social standing and graces of living were the highest. A clergyman, as- sociating on terms of social and in- tellectual equality with the richest and most learned members of his congregation, gave his son an in- heritance difficult to be lived up to. To be a minister's son is a test of-any_boy. He fs likely either to break down under it as did the boy i arraigned before Judge Landis or fo develop as did the illustrious men to whom our cofrespondent refers. i a these men have added to the world—the poetry of ‘Tennyson, the ‘ophy of Emerson, the essays of Lowell, the melody of Coleridge, fithe satire of Thackeray and Swift, the historical point of view of Macaulay, the theology of Edwards, the eloquence of Beecher, the science Pot Morse, the common-sense jurisprudence of Brewer—counterbalance f many times over the failings of the boys who yielded to the lusts of Fhe flesh. A minister's -boy {s like all other boys in fais yespect, that dis- _cipline and deprivation either make or break him. } | _ Letters from the People. shoul be harmful, To the Wiltor of Tho Kvening World: the quickened pulea!
