Partisanship should be kept out of the pulpit. . . The blindest of partisans are preachers. All politicians expect and find more candor, fairness, and truth in politicians than in partisan preachers. They are not replied to - no chance to reply to them. . . . The balance wheel of free institutions is free discussion. The pulpit allows no free discussion.
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
