Because the pulpit is the center of ethics, politics should be openly discussed, a practice not often used in the U.S. He uses examples of the poor pay of coal miners, partisan ring rule, and historical political preacher/leaders of the Revolution. "The pulpit is the pivot on which our national life is turning."
