Our neighbor, the Voice, meets with mis-
adventures in its campaign against the coll
IegeS which would mortify q less impas-
stoned organ. 1t lately proclaimed that
Bishop Vincent had declared that he would
not send son to Yale; but Bishop Vim
cent has written to say that the only son
he had he did send to Yale, and has no
reason to regret it. So in its account of the
dinners of the Amherst and Princeton
alumni in New York, Voice printed para

and the Rev. Richard d. Harlan, of Roch-
ester, which Mr. Harlan has felt con-
strained to characterize as "a lie out of

Care should be taken not to confuse zeal
for prohibition with righteousness. A good
many prohibitioniSts are very good people
who love righteousness, and try hard, ac-
cording to their lights, to promote ii. But
while zeal for prohibition is not inconsistent
with high character, it seems not to be in
itself especially conductive to high moral
ity. Individual prohibitionists are some
times sadly lacking in virtue, and cheat
and lie and behave improperly, just as
other bad people do who are not interested
in prohibition. An experienced person once
said TO the present paragrapher that he
used to think that liquor was at the bottom
of all evil but that while shut up at An
Jacksonville during the civil war he discov-
cred that high degree of wickedness could
be developed without the Intervention of
rum.

which give ground for hoping that the
ministry may again be lifted to its former
place in public esteem. A short time ago a
Young man applied to a Western associa-
tion for appreciation to preach. A commit
tee of five, TO whom his case was referred,
reported unanimously that he be advised to
study further before licensure But the as
ISOLATION decided to examine him, and aft
erward, by vote of II to H. granted him
q license. This candidate, however, proved
to be a man Of ability and practical good
sense He refused to accept the license,
and went at once to theological seminary
where he is preparing to honor his calling,
The gospel of salvation through Christ is
not less divine or powerful or precious now
than in former days. When those to whom
1t is committed place just value on it, men
will not refuse to listen or withhold their
esteem. The future of the church dsnends
not on the number of her ministers, but on
their character and attachments.

ABOUT ADVERTISING.
Extract from Speech by Wanama-
ker's Partner.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
The column of a newspaper is the mer-
chants rostrum. 1t is his pulpit. 1t is his
stump. From that he addresses the public
at large. From that he speaks to his con-
stituency. He speaks to his audience. Ad-
vertising is the channel through which the
merchant speaks to the people he desires to
Ills advertising is the test of his charac-
ter. 1t must be true. AS he speaks, and as
the people have an opportunity to judge of
the truth of his printed utterances day by
Character His character is branch of his
advertising, and, therefore, 1t must always
be true.
But if a man is not going to waste his
stupid 1t should be put in simple and
forcible language. One of the most distin-
guished ltterateurs of the country, ad-
dressing class of students at one of our
foremost colleges in Massachusetts, laid
great stress upon simplicity and force in
the use of the English language, reaching
all the way from the advertisements to the
leading editorials, and selected the advertis-
ing of our house as an Illustration to be
presented to this mass of learned young
men who were receiving the highest educa-
ton obtainable in this country.
This confirms an opinion that have very
long held-that advertising has taken it's
place in the literature of the land. II is one
of the marks of the development of the in
telligence of our country. Intelligent read
erS are looking at it, not only as mere ex-
plotting of merchandise, but as characters

that you have the American editions of the

it for several reasons. 1T interests me as
reading. 1t interests me on account of the
high character of illustration, and it is one
of my means of gauging the material pros
perity of the country"
In order to gain the respect OF an intelli-
gent community, advertising must be in
first-rate English. That cuts both ways. 1t
not only commands the respect OF the intel
ligent and the critical reader, but It conveys
its sense to the ordinary reader. To the nm

THE DECADENT MINISTRY.
The Future of the Church Dependent
on Its Ministers.


Its Ministers.
Congregationalist.
The ministry as divine calling in recent
years has been declining in public esteem.
For this decline ministers and churches are
mainly responsible. They have determined
the standard of value have decided what
qualities they want in a minister, and what
preparation is necessary to mt him for his
position. People generally have accepted
their standard. generation ago the min
istry stood highest among the learned pro-
fSSSiOns. To-day it stands lowest. The
Massachusetts Bar Association would treat
as ridiculous application for membership
with degree of preparation in law which
in theology would satisfy a Massachusetts
ministerial association Medical or dental
associations would prosecute men who as
sumed to practice medicine or dentistry
with no more knowledge OF their business
than the knowledge of theology which
would make a candidate acceptable to min
istelial associations. The Congregational
ministry has suffered the greater relative
decline as compared with some of the other
denominations. Methodists, for example,
have increased their requirements for ordi-
nation. and have enriched their equipment
for theological education. Many of our
stronger churches have sought and found
able leaders from among men trained in
of good moral character, by securing the

Time was when a minister counted At a
worthy distinction to have been the pupil
of some teacher who had gained distinction
in theological scholarship. But now some
of the most vociferous critics of biblical
criticism have studied the Bible only in

evangelists, and they seem TO be regarded

PLAY BILLS THIS WEEK
acUBA,s vow, COMES TO THE PARK
AT AN oPPORTUNE TIME.
Eieut. Peary Gives His Great Lecture
at the Grand-Engiish's Dark All
Week-Empire's Offering.

The big melodrams, "Cuba's Vow" comes
20 the Park this week, when everybody is
interested in Cuba, and it will no doubt
pack the theater during the three days of
its stay With it's dramatic story and it's
scenic and mechanical Accomplishments,
''Cuba's Vow is one of the strongest at
fractions the Park has had this spring.
The prologue shows the hacienda Of Antonio
Verona, in Bahia Hondo, Cuba, and it is
here that the slaughter occurs of the Gu
ban planter, from which the name of the
play originates. Cuba Verona vows venge-
ance on the slayers of her parents, and the
next act finds the principal characters in
Barcelona, Spain, and some OF the incidents
Of fete date are portrayed in connection
with the festivities, the gayly dressed bull
fighters, citizens and students forming
pretty tabeau. The next act shows the en-
campment ~ the Cuban army at Bahia
Hondo and the arrival of ms flibustering
steamer Three Friends. .2le third act,
which is in three scenes, shows the interior
Of Cabanas prison, at Havana, a ruin near
Guanabacoa and "Satan's bridge" The last
act shows the interior Of the Castle San
Severino, also beautiful view of Havana
harbor, with Moro castle and the bay
where the Maine was blown up. These

and accurate. Terese beagle heads the cast

"A Romance of Coon Hollow" with
scenes of the mountains and glens of east
ern Tennessee. will be at the Park Theater
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 1t has a
wealth of scenery and mechanical effects
The typical Southerner is a character ever
interesting to the people Of the North, many
of whom only know him through the me-
dunn of stored and stage pictures, and the
women of the South are particularly at
tractive. In Coon Hollow they are given
a personation not in the least overdrawn
or distorted. A steamboat race on the Mis-
sissippi between the famous Robert E. Lee
and the Natchez, with the boats lighted
and under full steam is a scenic feature
A view of Coon Hollow at night with
electric, calcium and limelight effects is a
new feature. Two quartets, a band of
buck dancers and a large company are
used iii this big production.

To Coates Kinney.

Friend of my youth. the comrade years
Have sworn US to each other;
A surer bond than blood endears
Thy soul to mine, leal brother
In high discourse or idleness
Or creamery together
In sunny calm, storm and stress,
We've taken fortunes weather;
We've seen the drama. Life. its wars.
Its love, joy, grief and glory;
We've watched the everlasting stars
To con their cryptic story;
We've Quaffed the fountain at it's source
OF passion, pain and pleasure;
If proffered hemlock comes in course,
Drink-heili the brimming measured
Much have felt and pondered long,
Problems profound and tragic;
From chaos rose world of song,
Orbed by your poet-magic.
Stay through the play and see it ALL
Behold its bliss, its sorrow,
Until the sable curtain fall
Wen seek new scenes tomorrow.
