Sometimes the pulpit gives very oblique
views of matters of morals and ethics.
For example, this eminent divine insists
that women should abstain from a health
full and graceful exercise because vulgar
and foul-mouthed l0afers comment indie
GENTLY upon their appearance. "If women
who mount bicycles and parade the
streets" he says, ''knew the comments
they provoke they would certainly aban-
don the mdelicate and unwomanly exer-
cise."
Is not the good Mr.. Hawthorne turning
the batteries of his eloquence upon the
wrong people? If rough or n dude
cursed equally with prurient ina gimaition
and an indecent tongue, cannot see a wo-
man wheel without insulting her openly
or covertly must the woman DC scOlded
therefor! Why mot preach against the too
common vulgarity of men who loaf on the
Street corners and whose minds run i'm
donbtful grooves? The church, rs eXem-
pinned by Hawthorne and a host of other
puiplteel's, rs prone to confuse the victim
with the asSailant. A "reSlhot" sermon
against men who cannot see q woman ON
Meycle without imagining and untering
rlDald and indecent Things would be vast
~ more to the purpose-and * would be
UNJUST to elimimate from it's reproof the
men in the pulpit amy more than the men
ON t.he Chicago Chronicle.

PREACHERS AND THE WHEEL.

An Atlanta clergyman, who, bearing the
gentle name of Hawthorne, seems TO pos
sess the fiery zeal of a Loyola. has edited
his congregation with what the press cor
respondents. justly enough, dominate a
''redhot sermon against feminine bicy-
cling" Particularly was his ire aroused
by the shocking findings that recently a
great religious convention in an Eastern
city concluded its exercises by n bicycle
race on the streets between 100 men,
women and preachers" This wholesale
unsexing of the pulpiteers comes with pc
culiar force from one of the cloth. The
classification of humanity into men. wO-
men and tenor singers has had a certain
currency for ages. but the Atlanta orator
has added a new complication. Can it
he that the church, not content with mul
tiplying sects, is going to multiply sexes
too?
