ton belongs to the stage coach era.
This is an electric age. demanding
electric speech. Brevity is the soul
OF cioquence nowadays. The direct
nervous |utterance is the speech of
the busy day. And Robert G.. In
gersoll, IL he may be mentioned i'm
this connection, did as much as any
one to fix the condensed style, the
short, simple words OF modern ora
tory.
The same tendency is seen in the
later newspaper editorials. 1t vas a
great shock to the literary folk when
Arthur Brisbane began to write edi-
torials uncommon everyday things
and cut out all the long words. But
that style OF editorials has won out.
II the pulpit is TO keep in touch
with the times It must adapt Itself.
The modern audience Is quick to
catch on. The preacher need not
spend unnecessary words to tell the
old story OF love and sacrifice. And
only the speaker OF unusual charm
is able to hold an audience longer
than thirty-fve or forty minutes.
Before all else the future man of
the pulpit must stay by the gospel
themes-the themes hat touch mems
hearts and hopes. He must have
something vital to say. And he must
say 1t without unnecessary rhetoric.
The man with a real message can say
enough in thirty minutes to keep his
audience thinking for a whole week.
The day OF the ,onderous polished
essay in the pulpit is over. 1t has
gone with the prosy. padded, long
winded editorial.
This is the day for the Say-When
sermons.

The ancient Greeks and Romans

STsAO's NOVEL IDEA.
would Have British spend $500 900 {.
Year Amusing Foreigner.

William Il. Stead. editor OF the Brit.
ish Review or Reviews. informs the
London correspondent Of the Chicago
News that he has secured pledges from
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman aud
other government leaders that they viii
recommend to parliament the estab-
lishment OF q national hospitality
fund for the purpose OF welcoming
and amusing foreign arrivals and send
ing them home with an enthusiastic
opinion Of British ways.
Dir. Stead proposes that England
shall devote to the entertainment fund
annually | per rent OF the total out
lays for the naval and military arma-
ments. averaging about 100000 $500
O0o). The promoters think that when
England has taken the lead in hospi-
tally such n thing as 4 stranger In u
strange land will be unknown. Mr.
Stead says:
England made a great huhNub n

that the mayor OF Portsmouth had TO

Mr.. Stead adds that one OF the cardi-
nal features OF the idea is to give TO
the arriving foreigners In humble cir
cumstances n welcome an assistance
along the lines or the broa' democracy
OF the present regime In England.

THE SAY WHEN SERMON.

whenever you think l have
preached long enough 1 want any OF
you to say SO, and l will immediate
ly announce the last hymn. 1t is
not always possible for a preacher to
tell just when he should saw off,
and /. for. one would be grateful for
suggestions. You will not offend me
by calling time. Say when and I'll
stop"
So said the Rev. Charles Clarkson, OF
Detroit, to his congregation.
He is a wise parson who knows
when to quit.
This preacher eveidntly wants to
preach the gospel so thai It will stick
in his peoples minds. He can't do
much to tired minds. Therefore he
must guage his IN to suit.
The tendency of all public speech
is toward condensation.
