Walt s criticisms of the churchVere indeed very search ing, he says in one place, " The negative virtues of the church are to me very abhorrent; the morals of the church would be morals if they were not something else. " At another place he remarks, about as Tol stoy later remarked, " That he had often tried to discover how Jesus and the churches got so divorced, how the institution came to destroy the spirit. " Walt took as a concrete case John Wanamaker, who refused to allow the " Leaves " to... be sold in his store. " The whole 36 WALT WHITMAN ideal of the church is low, loathsome, horrible, a sort of moral degradation, out of touch with the struggles of contemporary humanity/ bitterly complains Walt. When the question was put to him, if he thought the churches could safely be destroyed, he replied, " Yes, why not: I see no use for the church if it lags behind the age. " He says, 4 The distinctly preacher ages are gone the world is done with sermonizing I am not sorry. " Walt was tremendously interested in his friend Ingersoll, and gloried in Ingersoll s whacks at the church, and his triumphs over his antagonists, especially his triumph over Glad stone.
