RELIGIOUS STIMULANTS.
Clinton, S. C.

An editorial in a late number of the Richmond
1tmes-DtSpdtch is so much after mind, is 80
timely so reverent and yet just reflections
on the spasmodic and sensational evangelists that
we are glad to transfer it to columns:
wandering evangelist recently conducted Il series
OF religious meetings in the city of Bristol and i'm
reviewing his work in the Christian Advocate Re-.
DR.. r. n. Price this language:
During the meeting operate troupe showed but
sold less than twenty tickets; much the inllu
ence of the meetings, and the ridicule heaped upon
our 'two-by-four opera house" The evangelist de
nounced cards, theatres gambling dens blind tigers,
clubs especially female club) until these things are
likely to roost lower for some time to come Som.
of the preachers tolerated his TRADE against these
thngs-deivered they were i'm slang and billings
gate-as necessary evil-as something necessary 10
get lis out of the ruts. And it he has cut some nf
these things out of the lives of the people of the place
he has done good.
We do not like TO criticize at this distance but II
may be that the evangcist's meeting was more arn.
~ attended than the theatre because it the more
attractive show This is said in spirit of irrever
ence or ridcue but is fact that evangeliss usual
~ give very attractive entertainments They have
large building, either tabernacle or a tent they
have choir of one hundred voices or So with piano
organ and sometimes other instruments in accompau
mcnt they have good solo singers and the evangelist
himself is to make his sermon sufficiently scnsa
tional to draw. II is a hurrah occasion and fho
people become intensely Interested not to say excited
In the smaller towns business is frequently suspcndcd
during service and everybody talks about the biz
meeting
We shall not say that such meetings do no good
but we do say they do harm If the world is
to be converted to the Christian faith it must he done
through the systematic work of the organized church
and not by spasmodic revivas conducted bv wander
ing evangeists Now, the harm comes in lust here
After the people have attended for ten days a series
OF sensational meetings such we have described
the little church meeting without the attractions Of
the tabernacle or the tent is very tame affair and
the othodox preaching Of the pastor is very tame a.
