Yellow PuIp;tism.

If one will glance at the column of
religious advertisements in almost any
paper in almost any city on Saturday
mornings or evenings, he will find
abundant confirmation of what an an
noymous writer in the Independent
calls advertising the gospel" and
yellow pulpitism." The music, of
course, is largely advertised as a
drawing card and the preachers them
selves, whenever they are famous
or notorious, but the worst feature is
the choice of sensational texts. "Here
are some instances" says the writer,
taken at random and set forth in
terms of their literal wording. They
are all genuine. Not one is my own
invention. / could not have invented
them if had tried. I am not at all
sure that I got all that were singular,
nor even that 1 have chosen the most
startling, for, by the time that 1 had
read the list half thru, nothing any
longer looked strange or surprising:
when taken out of their setting this
is how they look in cold print: Seek

series of Trumpet Blast Addresses !;
Nathan Said unto David, Thou Art

A Religion of Culture for the Common
People.

A discussion was recently prectpita-
ted in st. Louis by the statement of the
Rev. Robert A. Holland that when
ever Methodism becomes fashionable
it ought to become Episcopalian," and
that "the Methodist church wastes
much of it's immense missionary
achievement for lack of Episcopal
culture" In his reply to the charges
of the Episcopal rector, Rev. James w.
Lee, pastor of st. Johns Methodist
Episcopal church, south, says in an
interview in the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch: "Methodism was never for any
distinct class: from the beginning it
was a movement in the interest of the
human race. John Wesley said that
the world was his parish, and he con-
sidered himself as having message
for the man at the top Of the social
scale, as we'll as for the man at the
bottom
Its great success is due to the fact
that the gospel it breaches is for all the
people. The church, of course, has
shared in the general changes and
social progress of the times since it
began to work more than $50 years
ago. IL HAS III elle WoIlu louay tStudi

of piety today for Methodist women
to continue to wear poke bonnets and
for Methodist preachers to wear uni
form characteristic of them in the days
of Asbury. Like other people, Method
lists have learned some thing in $50
years.
