SUMMER PULPITS.
WHAT IS GOING on IN RELIGIOUS CIRCLES
ABOUT TOWN.
Several Of the Pastors 10 Take Sumner Relaxation
What Some Of the Special Topics Of To-
Morrow Ars-Socials RcnicS and
Other Entertainments.

The subject Of summer service and
summer vacations are topics that the
church mapagers are interested in at
this time. II is hard to get people to
turn out in summer, especially when
the mercury is up In the nineties, to
hear a good sermon, no matter how
good it is. It Isl phenomenon incident
to the church world. IL Is almost as
definitely fixed as the price OF meat and
potatoes. The question then arises.
what is the best method Of meeting this
condition so that during the summer
solstice the church shall not slip cog
backward. The experience OF closing
churches on Sunday evenings has been
resOrted 10 by a few Of the churches
in town. The young peoples societies,
which within the past decade have be-
come so popular, also fill place in the
summer vacation period. But the most
good that can be devised from sum-
mer dullnesS is to give the preacher an
opportunity TO rest, away from the
duties and responsibilities OF his charge,
communing with nature and taking In
intuitiyely inspiration and strength for
the work Of the fall and winter. Every
church is making a good investment
when it gives its pastor vacation trip
and manages it's summer services, Tor
he will return refreshed and invigo-
rated. with new thoughts and new
ideas, while his parishioners, also hav-
ing had little relaxation, will be bet
ter prepared 70 take up the thread OF
religious life anew and work with In
creased zeal in the Masters vineyard.
