Religion and politics are alike excluded.

One class of the population is too high to be reached by the preacher; and the other class is too low to be cared for by the preacher.

The poor have the gospel preached to them, in this neighborhood, only when they are able to pay for it.

The slaves, having no money, get no gospel.

The politician keeps away, because the people have no votes, and the preacher keeps away, because the people have no money.
