A POPULAR PREACHER.
Favors Pool, Billiards and Other Games.
Formerly a Newspaper Reporter.

A Cleveland, o., dispatch says Rev.
DR.. Morgan Wood, the young, popular
and eloquent pastor .of the Plymouth
Congregational church of that city,
has under consideration an offer of
$4,000 from the Brick Presbyterian
church of New York.
He favors pool, billiards and other
games. He believes that it is a mis-
take for ministers of the gospel to pre-
tend that they were called by God to
certain charges, intimating that the
salary had as much to do with the
choice of positions.
His theories have been opposed by
leading ministers, but the church is
growing fast in membership.
