The Letter to Pastors.
DEAR BROTHERS.:
r. J. HOOPER,

A man named
w. II. Wallace, calling himself "The
American Evangelist, has recently
passed through this town, ION his trip
across the continent" Before his ar
rival We were notified that he was a
dangerous man and to have nothing to
do with him: but each correspondent
failed to specify in what particular
they based their warning upon. He
came to our town, attended his meet
ings, took such part in them as | con-
sistently could and watched his con-
duct closely. lie appears 'as an ang-
el of light" and is calculated "to de-
ceive even the elect Hence it is no
marvel that he makes many friends.
| am compelled to state, however,
that he is Il liar, tibet and deceiuer.
Now for the facts:
Evangelism is only a means to an
end. Avarice is his main object. He
edits (?) and publishes a paper "The
Bugle,' the subscription price of which
is 80 cents per year. He told me the
circulation had reached 10000. This
brings him handsome revenue. He
makes the statement in this paper and
in his public utterances, that every
word in it is originating padding, no
advertising, nothing but Il strictly non
sectarian religious paper filled with
bright CrisD savings a sermon bV the
editor-The American Evangelist
and an interesting account Of our trip
around the continent each MONTH"
Investigation reveals the fact that
his claim to originality is on par
with his perverted idea of truth. The
sermons he has printed and sent out as
his own for the last four months are
stolen bodily from Dr. Talmage and

Entertaining Fiction.

One advantage of reading serial
story in Il daily newspaper is that an
installment of convenient length is re-
ceived every day that does not CON

The Chicago Record-Herald, popu-
lar feature of that enterprising Chica-
go daily. Among the successful stor-
les which have recently been enjoyed
by Record Herald readers are "Graus-
tark," by George b. McCutcheon;
when Knighthood was in hower," by
Charles Major; and "Alice of Old Vim
cennes," by Maurice Thompson. Ev-
cry issue contains also short illus
trated "human interest story on the

This is sufficient to establish the

indorse what others say of him, viz:

and superficial, but the biggest

the necessity and the utility of such an

But the field of evangelism is not oc.
cupied wholly by such men. The

out the land. His principal stock in
trade consists of number of cant
phrases. having semblance of ortho.
doxy. These men usually have some
scheme to graft upon the community
sometimes represent an Orphanage,
or Rescue Mission, but often, only a
private financial enterprise in the ma
ture of a religious (?) paper, so that
when they have worn themselves out
by excessive labor in evangelistic tours
they will still be able to keep in touch
with the thousands (?l Of converts and
friends made during their journeyings,
and incidentally make money enough
out of it to support themselves. If
anyone is able to discover the motive
of such men, and has the courage of
his convictions strong enough to OPP
pose such schemes, he brings down up
on his innocent head storms of vitu-
peratiOn and villitication. Such "evan-
gelists' are usually Past Masters" in
the art of invective and innuendo, and
their vindication of themselves would
indicate that they use a good deal of
vinegar and gall in their regular
diet.
The writer happens to be in the way,
geographically, of one of those trans
continental gospel tramps. He has
just closed IA ten days meeting, lectur-
ing evenings only, on some catchy,
sensational theme, calculated to excite
the curiosity Of people. Then when
the crowds gather, he takes his oppor-
tunity TO advertise his paper. 1t is a

inches, and the subscription price is

ious paper, filed with bright, crisp
sayings, a sermon by the editor, The
American Evangelist and an interest
! ing account of our trip around the con-
tinenu each month";"
The striking difference in the Ian
guage used on the written page, in the
various articles, and the contrast be-
tween it and the "butchered English
of his oral address, first aroused our
suspicious of his honesty and truthful
ness. Investigation shows that his
claim to originality is on a par with
his perverted idea of truth. The
deadly parallell' reveals the fact
that the "sermon by the editor" in the
April number of his paper, "The Blu
gle" is taken verbatim from the Chris
tian Herald of July l1th, 1897 by Dr..
L. De Witt Talmage. The sermon in
the May number of his paper is on
Marrow Escapes, text Job 10: 20, also
by DR.. Talmage. The sermon in the
