distension on tbe advisability of ministers
taking an active part in polities, Mr. Fori'i

ministers by their supreme education were
better qualified to determine what was best
for the country than the people generally.

Silas Stanlake, sr., contended that rainist rJ
had quite enough to do to look after the
epiritualinteresta of their flocks. Mr J. Sweet
'confined looremerke principally to the tribe
of Levi concluding therefront that ministers
shonld bo called of God and that their
duties were purely stilritUal. 0. Prouty
was the last speaker ; his ocintentiort was
that the education and ceiling of ministers
was of such a nature as to render them very
poor judges of polititial economy, th...t their
calling and duties were of a spiritual nature;
that if they could get the people spiritually
right, there would. be no fear of politics ;
that the measures urged on, mainly by the
clergy, had not been productive of good re-
sults, and had cost the country large sums
of money ; that a congregation was goner.

ministers who would show their leanings iu

aide with great skillatud tact, and is deserv-
ing of credit for the able tvay i0 which be
handled the subject. The chairmen were
F Green, Mr. Davis and Mr. Sweet of
Exeter. The decision was given i0 laver of
the negative, or that the misistry should
not take an active part in politics. In ad-
dition to the discussions there were musk,
