OUR FOREIGN PULP1Ts.
Mote: Again does New York call for -,
English English eIergyman. This time it is the Fifth
Wowl
What's the matter with home preachers,
That to save 1t from it's SHINING
We've no Yankees strong enougb7
Must this town import it's talent
In the pulpit line. or go
Unregenerate and unshriven
To the regions down below?
Do we have d class of sinners
So obsessed that they must cali
An Englishman to save them
Or they won't be saved at auo
Is the Puritanic spirit,
That came over long ago.
Commercialized and hardened
TIL its action is too slow?
Has the higher criticism
Put its hook into our style
Till we look upon a Yankee
AS a true Satanic vile?
