PASSING OF THE EVANGELIST
Only a Few Of Any Prominence Left
and Their Influence Has Become

Boston-The church evangelist

less conspicuous than he was some
years ago, and his influence is more
restricted. new order of worship as

transition toward a safer and more
permanent system of public express

the peripatetic preacher now, and
there are only few of them of any
prominence whatever.

their thought, and, therefore. more
and not less pious, but the difference
between their piety now and that OF
yesterday is that the preachers are
appealing more and more to their rea
son than their emotion
And this is as it should be. The
new conditions make the local pastor
a more important and influential fac
tor and give greater stability and per.
manence to the church and its agen.

modern circuit rider have come new
enterprises for propagating the faith.
They have assumed various forms and

one, for he is sole monarch of his
home and shop and none will enter
there save when hidden by his simple
device. None even starts for Crispin's
unless the device calls, for it can be
seen long distance down the roads OF
Southold town, and if 1t isn't seen
Crispin isn't receiving work.

But when Crispin is in and working

pegs in the front of the building at
either side of the door pairs Of old

the meadows or down the street have
merely to look out of their windows
or from their dooryards or fields to
see whether it's the proper time to go

in unnecessary trips. If driving they
need neither turn aside nor get out of
their vehicles for a possible futile
