The Presbyterian ministers Of At.
lanta have res0rted to preaching in
the streets after the manner of the
Salvation Army. They do so, as they
claim, to reach the people who do moi
attend church. They know that some.
thing is wrong because churchgoing
has fallen off so greatly in Atlanta
and they have hit upon this expedient
1t appears to ms that they are mis-
taken ms to the cause of empty
benches in the churches. Atlanta has
elegant churches with comfortable
seats and good singing and we are oil
the opinion people quit going to
church because they hear nothing
from the pulpit that viii do them any
good. The modern style Of preaching
will never hold an audience in the
street or anywhere else.
People do not attend church to be
entertained by anecdotes nor TO hear
criticisms Of the Bible nor TO listen
at frothy oratory. They go to church
TO worship God, to sing His praises
and to be instructed as TO their duty
II they count on none Of these priv.
leges they grow Indifferent and cease
to attend church. The majority OF
people regard religion as n solemn
and important matter and they are
not satisfied with frivolous declama.
