men Inside those very pulpits have
not felt themselves bound by any
fine point of ethics TO refrain from
rebuking sin, even when the reproof
strikes home IN the pews in front OF
them. 1t is not believable that any
great proportion of ministers of the
gospel are selling their convictions
for the pottage of their salaries.

Good for Her.

Mrs. Potter Palmer is chiefly
known to the ordinary world at
large as a lady of great wealth and
eorrespondingly great social aspira-
lions, which she has exercised both
here and in the less difficult field of
Great Britain, where Yankee gold is
very powerful. 1t comes, then, with
a mild shock of surprise TO read a
Chicago dispatch TO this effect:

A Religious Enthusiast.

Rev. DR.. Madison c. Peters, late of
the Epiphany Baptist Church, New

power in his denomination, has be
come a sort OF John Storm in that
he has cut entirely adrift from his
church to do religious work of his
own, and has given to the world his
reasons therefore. He must become
a minister for all who need him, he
asserts, instead of remaining "a pri-
waite chaplain of the privileged
classes" His Indictment of what he
believes is the Pretense of the pulpit
is severe:
