ATS IIV FORT t NATE (ftlTROVERSY
As a geuerul rule, it is best for
secular papers to bake no part in
purely religious or theological dis
cussions; but ffriere .are times when
Jthey eanxcrt avoid doing so, without
being untrue to themselves and their
/coders.
Mr. Lcitch the well known evan
gelists has just closed one of his
meetings in Chester, and while there,
if we are to believe the statement of
one of the citizens of that town, Mr.
IV. R. Davie Jn, indulged in langu
age which, to say the least w’as coarse
Mid inexcusable, and amply sufficient,
to keep all refined- people from at
tending his services. A numerously
signed protest against Mr. Davie’s
criticism has been published, and to
complicate the matter, the ladies, or
a part of them at least, have felt
called on to take a hand in the busi
ness, and have given publicity to a
statement that virtually acrpiits Mr.
lcitch of saying anything that was
offensive to refined ears. Mr. Davie
has met these protests by the publi
cation of what he says were Mr.
Leitch's. utterances, leaving, to" the
public to decide its to who is right.
It must be confessed that, unless the
signers of those protests can convict
Mr, Davie of wilful and and malici
ous falsehood, he has the best of the
controversy, and has placed his
critics in an unfortunate position,
from which it will be difficult for
them to extricate themselves; for it
is certain that no one, unless under
the influence of religions fanaticism,
could be found who would not con
demn such utterances from the pul
pit. Without undertaking, in this
special case, to pass judgement on
reyivalkte «s ttee berm is
mow applied, wo»e •unknown, jmd yet
.great and genuine revivals-of religion
•were of frequent oemreune; but we
sire rapidly getting t® ji paint when
ihe ordinary miniater is not consider
ed cither good or wise enoiigh to take
charge of a special meeting. Chris
tianity is reasonable in its doctrines
and demands, and when we take it
out of the bounds of common sense,
we make it absurd, and subject it to
ridicule amid reproach. One of the
favorite weapons of these sensation
alists, is the wholesale denunciation
of those who happen not to come up
to their moral standard, and to cast
imputations on the piety of those who
do not sustain them and who con
demn their methods and their lan
guage. Some of them have been
licensed to preach who were utterly
ignorant of the mere elements of
theology, and have been sent forth
to scatter broad cast over the land
very false conceptions of w hat reli
gion is, and in this w ay, if in no
other, have done incalculable harm.
Perhaps a majority of the kind of
evangelists, under discussion, are
Methodists, and if they are called to
the work of the ministry, let them
join the itinerancy and take then-
share of the toils and sacrifices of a
ministers life, instead of, as they
now have all its rewards and applause.
Unfortunate as this controversy un
doubtedly is, if it arouses sensible
people to a realization of the great
evil that comes from this coarse and
denunciatory style of preaching, the
ultimate result of it will .be a
gain to the canse of religion.
In the above article, the editor
disclaims any intention of doing the
least injustice to Mr. Leitch; neither
does he undertake to decide a ques
tion of veracity between Mr. Davie
and the signers of these protests; but
simply to call attention to the ques
tionable methods of most of these
special evangelists, and to insist that
the regular ministers, pastors of
churches, arc a more potent factor
in disseminating the truths of reli-
, and in leading men into a liigh-

The question may be fairly asked
as to why it is, that these profession
al evangelists are allowed to use lan
guage in the pulpit which, were it to
conic from the lips of the regular
pastor, would call forth a storm of
indignant protests, and if persisted
in would result in his enforced resig
nation:' Candor is all very well in
its way, but it Very easily degenerates
into a coarseness and bluntness which
should never be tolerated by people
of refinement and culture. Even in
legislative assemblages the indul
gence in personalities is considered
in very bad taste, notwithstanding
the very great temptation that often
presents itself to indulge in them.
A minister who has anything like an
adequate conception of his high call
ing, never transgresses in this way;
but simply presents the truths of r;-
ligion, in their simplicity and purity'
and leaves it to the hearts and con
sciences- of Us hearers the
make the application. Personal
abuse invariably does, more harm
than good, and invariably hardens
the hearts of those at whom it is di
rected and leaves them in worse con
dition than they were before*
Madame Roland just before her
execution, exclaimed, Ob! “liberty,
how many crimes are committed in
thy name,” and her expression might
well be transposed and made to say,
Oh! religion how many absurdities
are perpetrated in thy name; for cer
tainly there seems no end to tliu re
ligions e.vtravangancies and fanati
cism of the present day, and for this
unfortunate condition of things,
these roving evangelists are largely
responsible. Of course it will not be
denied that they accomplish some
good, but who takes into account the
the_vast amount of harm that un
questionably results from this style
of preaching. Are the pastois of the j
churches, in the different evangelical'
denominations, so remiss j > their |
duty as to stand in need of the ser-1
vices, and very often the denunci::-
tion, of these inresponsible evangelist;
or are we to expect better results
from their sensational methods, than

The minister who allows an evan

to his own peculiar arid sensational
