THE TWO-HOUR SERMON.

The ST. Louis minister who tlayed
his Co-WorkerS at meeting OF Meth
odist Episcopal ministers because they
did not preach sermons of two hours
i'll length is championing a lost cause
He is rushing carelessly where wise
ministers tread on tip toe when he
declares that the Sunday dinners oil
his congregation do not count in com
parsOn to the message he has to de
liver. He may be right, but he is not
diplomatic. In these days of strenu-
BUSINESS and hurry the thirty-minute
sermon has become the most popular.
1t has taken root firmly because it fits
eXactIy-nOt the needs-but the wants
OF the modern congregation. If this
st. Louis preacher wishes men to hear
the message, and presumably he does,
he must consider carefully the lnus-
culine Sunday morning temper.
To the average hard-working man
the Sunday morning sleep is an in
herent right and the Sabbath dinner
a well-earned luxury.
A two-hour sermon would mean
three hours spent in, and preparing
for. church. Take three precious
hours out of a Sunday morning and
either the sleep or the dinner is in
terfered with The St. Louis minister
does not see the question in this light.
His brethren have been there before
him and know these obstacles. 1t is
difficult enough to pursuade mere man
that church-going isn't within wo-
mans sphere without lengthening the
sermons.
The two-hour sermon is not an i'm
provement. Try the half-hour route.
and If your message suffers in cons@-
Quence. perhaps it wasn't so worthy
as you thought at first. Talking for
thirty minutes to man surely is
worth more than talking at him for
fWO hours In the first case ba will
come back for more. In the second
he will stay away

When the news became known that
the Peoples Progressive Improve
ment ticket had been elected there
was rejoicing everywhere among the
people. They are jubilant over their
victory, not alone because of the vic
tory itself, because that is regarded
by them as a minor matter. but be-
cause OF its significance to the city
OF Occur d'Alene. The election
means much to them, because 1t
means the carrying out the planks
contained in the platform OF the
Peoples Progressive Improvement
ticket. among the many others cf
which is the enc In fa71T of nIaniei
pal improvements. The people have
long clamored for sidewalks WIN 'cb
would be of a permanent and sub
stantial character, and the grading
of the streets. but their voice has
been unheeded. and the candidates OF
the ticket elected are each and every
one pledged to carry out this plank.
and 1t means progress and advance
ment for the city of Occur d'Alene-
means that It will take its stand with
the other cities Of the state. and the
result therefore is regarded as a
great victory by the people.
