The Chaplaincy.

By Editor

The Sacramento Bee, which is in a good position to know whereof it speaks on this subject, has this to say:—
'Would that Christ were here on earth again to drive the office-seeking chaplains out of the Golden Eagle Saloon. The sight is one which is not at all edifying. Were we a member of the Senate or Assembly, we would never vote one cent out of the treasury for the office of chaplain. As conducted, the whole thing is a blasphemy against the Lord that smells to high heaven.'
These same ministers are of the class who are urging the promotion of "good citizenship" by means of church politics, which, put into practise, is just the same as any other politics,—a strife as to which shall be the greatest. See Luke 9: 46-48 and 22: 24-30. See, also, article in Outlook department.
