one knowing boyish enthusiasm may
be sure that the prescribed one is by
no means his limit, as the following

A few mornings ago in New York a
half blind old man was walking along
near where construction work was be-
ing done Pieces OF lumber were being
carried out of the building. Three
youngsters. seeing the old man making
his way feebly along and fearing ne

helped him pass the dangerous spot

were boy scouts they said. Yes, rua'an.

And the boys of other nations are be-

The Preachers Coat.

AT the shenandoah conference VI
Methodists Bishop Neeley found oc-
casion to remark upon the dress of
the clergymen assembled and to call
attention to what seemed to him. a
disposition toward unpreacher-like
methods of dress. The fact seems to
be that the preachers, most of them,
had arrayed themselves like other
men in sack coats of variety of
colors, gray predominating, the or
binary business suits of ordinary
mankind The bishop stuck for the
black coats and the paraphernalia
of the profession and severely criti-
cised those who had gone wandering
after the strange gods of sack coats
and half peg trousers.
The bishop might have used his
time to better advantage. His criti-
cism will not bring back the long
black coat and the doleful expression
which went with it in the days of
somber glory. Neither will it Danish
the comfortable and sensible sack
coat from the minister's week day
wardrobe. The sack coat, like other
sensible and comfortable things has
come to stay. The long coat and the
long face once affected by profession
al men have passed into the discard,
if the bishop knows what the discard,
is. The DOCTOR. the lawyer, the
preacher all wear. sack suits for daily
wear and are going to keep on doing
it. People like them better that way.
And, anyway, there is no reason why
a preacher should go about of week
days in long coat and plug hat, ex-
posing himself in this Iowa country
to suspicion on the part OF strangers
that he is peddling spectacles or
practicing as a professional hypnot-
list.
The fact is that the preacher never
gets next to the world he is endeav-
Oring to aid, comfort and counsel un-
til he gets out of the long coat and
into sack both literally and figura-
lively. We, the more or less unre-
generate people, are seeking preach
ers who hold the sack coat attitude
toward humanity. We are looking
for them for our pulpits and for as
sistants and as points wherein the
great sack coat movements of relig-
ion and public welfare may dress
ranks. This is day of sack coat
religion when men are asking off
usefulness rather than raiment.
There is a general impression OBJ
tanning nowadays that the good Sam
aritan wasn't fashionably dressed
and probably wore sack coat. There
is general demand and expectation
that the church and religion shall
take of the long coats and get into
working clothes.
\ In conclusion: There is no more
reason why the preacher should wear
q long black coat every day than he
should walk on Observation-Disclosures
