What boots it?
Can you discover another in word and deed, in luminous, far-reaching power of speech and example, to walk by the side of this the Anointed One of your race and of my belief?
As the Irish priest said to the British prelate touching the doctrine of purgatory: "You may go further and fare worse, my lord," so may I say to my Jewish friends--"Though the stars in their courses lied to the Wise Men of the desert, the bloody history of your Judea, altogether equal in atrocity to the bloody history of our Christendom, has yet to fulfill the promise of a Messiah--and were it not well for those who proclaim themselves God's people to pause and ask, 'Has He not arisen already ?'" I would not inveigh against either the church or its ministry; I would not stigmatize temporal preaching; I would have ministers of religion as free to discuss the things of this world as the statesmen and the journalists; but with this difference: That the objective point with them shall be the regeneration of man through grace of God and not the winning of office or the exploitation of parties and newspapers.
Journalism is yet too unripe to do more than guess at truth from a single side.

The statesman stands mainly for political organism.

Until he dies he is suspect.

The pulpit remains therefore still the moral hope of the universe and the spiritual light of mankind.
It must be nonpartisan.

It must be nonprofessional.
