Answer:

“The Sniper” uses irony to demonstrate how war reduces human beings to mere objects. ... As feared, once he lights the match, “a bullet flattened itself against the parapet of the roof” (O'Flaherty 1). As if on command, the enemy sniper shoots at any sign of movement, alike to a machine.

Monica [59]

Roy Peter Clark shows he doesn't like Lehrer at all and doubts about his previous work, but in this case he compares Lehrer with a minister that pours water on the head of an infant and speaks the right words. He says that when this happens, the child is baptized and that it doesn't matter the moral condition of the minister. He compare Lehrer like this because he tells that he bought the author's Imagine and that he actually  liked it and found it helpful, despite his doubtful work as a writer.
