new Ork TlDune,
The danger in these meetings Is that
~frivolity and irreverence too often
seem 10 creep into the pulpits and the
prayers. We would not rebuke or
encourage q smile at the most ignorant
utterances Of a sincere man pleading for
God. Such ~utterances never yet failed
of their effect. The most successful
preacher OF the present century Is an
illiterate man, outside Of the Word Of
God. Neither is there any extravag.
ance of thought or dictiou which is not
pardo nable TO the rapture of devotion
or Intense feeling. But q man rises
very seldom In his life to these supreme
heights of devotion or feeling. He
cannot finish his mutton.chop at break
fast,and ct will be carried by the Spirit
up 10 the Hills OF Beulah, coming
down precisely 10 time for more chops
at noon. Yet the prevailing tone
adopted in these enormous crowds in
prayers, hymns, and preaching Is that
OF this exceptional intense excitement.
We do not wish to speak harsEly when

knowing how profound and awful are
the mysteries on which he treads-are
made topics of hourly vulgar chatter,
