Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-07-29

Much is heard and read on this subject, but
the only way to get at correct idea OF kal'
loch and his place of worship q is to go there
Sunday evening and attend one Of the
weekly performances. You pay ten cents
admission. This, as the preacher explains
for the benefit of strangers, is to keep out the
hcodlums, who disturb the meetings, and as
a substitute for passing the hat. At the door
you are served with Metropolitan Banner,
a little two page paper, issued weekly, which
records the doings of the church contains
Sunday School exercises and few simple
sacred songs set to popular tunes. With
Banner in hand you enter the Temple, ar
ranged very much like a theater. The Lain
auditorium and the circling gallery up stairs
together seat about twelve hundred and fifty
persons comfortably. The lights are numer-
GUS and brilliant. Before you, in recess
back Of the stage, is
MAMMOTH ORGAN,
Which gives forth under the touch of a skill
full German musician, Schultz, tremendous
and eloquent sounds. In front of the organ,
|
thirty or thirty-f good singers, led by Frau
Schultz, wife of the erganist. In front of
these is the big figure of all, the Rev. Mayor,
with little table before him on which his
| manuscript rests. He reads his lectures,
speeches and sermons. He is very large
tall man and has very impressive appear
ance He would be handsome but for an
overfed, sensual air about him. He has very
large and very CLASSY eyes and rolls them
| SIMULTANEOUSLY. His voice is powerful and
clear. You feel yourself under the influence
of his personal magnetism at once and you
have not heard him utter twenty words before
you recognize in him the
MANAGER OF A TUMULTUoUS CROWD.
Until the last one of his great audience is
seated, he keeps his choir singing the simple
sacred airs alluded to, and all the congregation,
with the songs before them in the Banner,
are urged to join in. Everybody knows the
tunes and everybody does join in. Exhilar-
ated by the surroundings, those sing who
never sang before. The great crowd of all
sorts of people rising to their feet with their
Banners rustling in their hands is a unique
and interesting spectacle. When the singing
is over Kaloch comes to the front and devotes
the first half of an hour to what he styles
HIS ''PRELUDE."
The other half being devoted to discourse |
on some religious topics. This part he cum
ningly terms his ''more loved and nsbler
hat Of q
you are listening to unprincipled, vicious
and hypocritical, but you cannot help being
interested in what he says. In his "prelude"
he discusses the affairs of the city, and with
the people for his audience, repsls the at
tacks of the newspapers. He does not reach
az many persons as the newspapers, but he is
more than match for all Of city press that are
combined against him. He is shrewd rheter
ician, constructing master pieces of synta1
out Of plain, easy words that are perfectly
understood by every listener. He hardly
ever makes gesture while reading, nor is his
elocution generally impassioned. He holds his 1
audience seemingly without effort and rather
,ubdues them by the consciousness they have |

speaking After hearing him discuss the '
s., 900 fee" last Sunday evening ysu almost G
oitied the editors of the Post and Chronicle and
# other San Francisco journals opposed to him. S
Their leaders seemed dwarfed by comparison l.
With his popular refutatien. His logic is close
md sharp, and as he moves slowly aleng in the
rgument he let's loose arrows of sarcasm and
aillery that never miss their aim or fail to
ring down the house. There is no restraint
n the Mayors temple, and if you feel like :,
cling, you do SO without ever thinking of
he day or the name of the occasion.) In
the present management of the af
airs of the city with that of preceding ad
Illustrations he remarked in passing: 81

aged about the City Hall % Sunday even.
