Excerpt from Lamps, Pitchers and Trumpets: Lectures on the Vocation of the Preacher; Illustrated by Anecdotes, Biographical, Historical, and Elucidatory, of Every Order of Pulpit Eloquence, From the Great Preachers of All Ages Prominent'among these quarrellers with the pulpit is the Saturday Review. It has expressed itself thus, There is a gulf between the clerical mind and the ordinary male mind, which is deep and daily deepening on the one side it is a pity akin to contempt, too apathetic to form itself into words; on the ether, there are pious hands uplifted in meek Spitefulness. The same pious and respectable organ says, The mass of the male sex look upon religion as a womanish kind of thing. Another of these insolent and unworthy attacks is from the pen of one who calls him self A Dear Hearer it has received the most encomiastic eulogies from The Homilist, which, in its usual in ated style, speaks of it as having the ring of Luther and J unius. This expletive style of praise is very cheap and very easy, yet the thing contains hints which may be used, although it is to be deplored that the editor of a periodical, himself a preacher, can only set his hand to endorse the bill filed against all his brethren, and'his whole profession.
