ECHO OF A SERMON.
"What's the Matter With the
Church?" Creates a Stir Among
Church People

this CITY as to 'What is the Mat
ter With the Churcn?" is creating
no small comment both in press
and social circles.
II must be remembered that he |
has only made special mention OF
one fault" as yet, and that there
are more things than one the mat
ter with the church. This same
able pastor remarked not long
since. "All religious people are
not Christians, )" and so | venture
to suggest that all persons who are
apparently trivolus are not in re-
ality worldly minded"
1t has been quoted that this
same pastor declared, THAT all
card playing, dancing and theater-
going people should be turned out
of the church, and that the great
est revival that he had ever known
in a certain church occurred when
seventy five members were ex-
nelled for their immoralities.
That this reverend gentleman does
disapprove, in the strongest pos
sible terms, of these things as a
violation of the rules OF the
Methodist church, is a seli-evl-
dent fact, yet we hardly believe
that he intended TO convey such
broad idea as the wording OF the
quoted paragraph would indicate
"Whist parties and dancing

fact that they are violations oil tn'
rules of the church, can hardly o'
