PASTOR AGAIN HITS
THE CRAP SHOOTERS

IN st. Paul's A. M. f. Church, East
Eleventh street. last night, the Rev.
DR.. Albert Price again raped crap
shooting and others forms of gambling
while preaching on "The Way Is
Opened" He said:
you have asked me what right the
preachers have to meddle with you.
Il is the minister's business to cry
aloud and speak against games, crap,
policy and other evils, that affect the
interest of the community in which
he lives. 1t is his business to point
men to the way to the open door. We
ought to be able to adopt some way
to assist the authorities in their at
tempt to reach those who lead our
young boys astray and from their
homes, playing games and using
, language which should not be used in

SHOULD PREACH AS
REPORTERS WRITE

ST. LOIS, Aug. THE novel COM
bination in the pulpit of a newspaper
mans training with the equipment of
a minister is the up-to-date idea of
the Rev. W. H. Jordan, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Jerseyville,
ILL.,, suburb. Yesterday he visited
newspaper office here TO see how a
daily is gotten out.
THE bright and breezy way in
which city reporters write up an
event makes people read the story
through with interest from start to
finish" said Mr.. Jordan. Il have often
thought that If ministers, in their
sermon writing. would try to adopt
newspaper methods to the extent Of
turning out more interesting and
vivid copy they would make more
impression upon their congregations
and attract more to the services.
IF certain events related in the
Bible had been covered by men like
the newspaper reporter of today, how
eagerly we would read them. l be-
lieve many persons now repelled by
he style of the King James version
would read such an account, if IL ex-
sted. with the keenest interest and
leasure."
