MANKATO MINISTERS tRESENTs - -
INTLMA TON THAT PLLP[TS ARE VI
FILLED BY <SLSSlES;;' THEIR SAY

Are the pulpits filed by sissies?
That is a question that has been
agitating the minds of many of the
prominent divines in ST. Paul and
Minneapolis.
Rev. 0. A. Luce of the Central
Park Methodist church of st. Paul
is gaining some notoriety for himself
by statement which he made in
his pulpit week ago, when he said:
Eve are sissies, all of us, and | in
clude myself. We lack heroism. cour-
age and power. The minister of today
is incapable, and knowing he is up a
popular singer to sing popular
jingles.'
Last Sunday Rev. T. w. Stout of
the Calvary Methodist church of
Minneapolis answered this charge in
directly by saying that the churches
want advertisement for the ministry
reads thus: Men wanted, no sissies
need apply. If man won't set the
truth above promotion, honor above
salary, manhood above promotion
and God above all, he had better
keep out"
Opinions BY Mankato Preachers.
Six MankatO pastors were inter
viewed today and their opinions on
the statement were asked for. The
general opinion as expressed by them
was that the work of a minister is a
big work and that the percentage of
men who are not working for the
good of humanity alone was very
small, that except they work for the
advancement OF the kingdom of God
there is little reason for them to
continue in the ministry
Not A Social Ornament.
Rev. T. Ross Paden of the Presby-
terrain church said: The ministers
have the widest and largest job of
any men in any profession If
Sissy he doesn't measure up to his
job. The only way for a minister to
make good in his calling is to be
man. There is some temptation for
a minister to become spoiled by pet
ting.
"a few men are carried away by
the pleasure in public applause, but
the demands of today require stall
wart manhood. Not only must the
minister of today be scholar and a
speaker, but he must also have ad-
ministrative ability. The demands of
the profession call out all that is in
a man as much as any other profess
sion. The feeling that ministers are
fact that many people are not ac-
quainted with the work that ministers
are doing. Once in while there is

fist church believes that the minis
try has the largest opportunity for
genuine service of any profession.
If man is really a man IN the
ministry the fact need not be pub
lished and if he is not a man that
fact becomes evident. Pastors rank
high as hardworking, earnest, sin
cere men.
Rev. E. L. Heermance of the Con-
gregational church said: "We are
hardly the men to discuss this ques-
ton. My impression is that the minis
ters are as free as any men in a
community to say what they be-
lieve to be true, and probably more
free, and that they generally make
use of their opportunity.
When Rev. C. B. Osgood was asked
for a statement he said he believed
that more could be accomplished by
trying to overcome any evils which
might exist than by making them
public.

''In LIS conference there are young

gone and taken a B. A. college de-
gree and then completed the course
in theological seminary. Many OF
them are denying themselves the
actual necessities of life to get an
education to carry on the work of
the ministry. Does that look like
sissy business? Two young men
joined the work last year who were
successful high school teachers, and
neither receiving as large a salary
as when in high school work by
several hundred dollars. Why do
they do mis-? Certainly not because
they are 'sissies.

REDEEM LOST SOULS;
WORK IS NOT IN VAIN

One of the institutions in Mime
sofa that is doing a great deal OF
good for humanity, is the Home OF
the Friendless in Minneapolis. The
home is in charge of Rev. James
Parsons, formerly pastor of the Con-
gregational church at Owatonna.
Mr.. Parsons has now been in the
work for the Society for the Friend
less for three years, and is superin-
tendent of the Minnesota division,
while Mrs. Parsons is matron. The
work has developed so rapidly that
Mr.. Parsons was provided with an
assistant this year, and next year
will have to have a second assistant.
Has Been Busy Man.
During the year 1910 Mr.. Par
sons has visited almost all parts of
the state. He has made LOG Jail
visits, interviewed 600 prisoners,
written hundreds of letters to pris-
oners or in the interest of the work.
He has interviewed 1491 persons to
secure employment or raise funds
for the society, and to interest school
county attorneys,
probate judges and other selected
persons in special lines of prevent
i've and relief work. Many volunteer
workers have been aroused to &C.
tivity. Aside from the special work
done in jails and prisons 1S9 address
ses have been delivered before
church, school and other gatherings
to over 10000 persons.
Men Placed in Useful Occupations.
Forty-five men have been placed
in useful occupations, and seventy
five more assisted in various ways,
often with that which was harder to
give than a job of work. The flu
ture will show all larger results in
finding by reason of the
large and increasing amount of pre-
liminary work.
The entire expense of the work
for 1910 was $2,67S.S6. This includes
travel, rent, homing of men, r. r.
ey loaned, salaries, printing and
The calls for service have
so increased that added helpers are
needed at once, and at least $4,000 90
is required for the year 1911. The
work of the society is supported by
the voluntary gifts of those who
wish to help.

ROAD FROM
''QfRT LEA TO WEST
>ssrs. Knight and Doyle, the

,ssrs. Knight and Doyle, the
1omoters of the Sioux Falls and
fSouthern Minnesota Traction COM
pany are now closing up the final
ty, says The Fairmont Sentinel.
To the Sentinel Mr.. Doyle stated
that they began the promotion work
Nov. 9th, 1910, and have spent the
entire year in working out the prob
lem. They now have the entire right
of way secured from Worthington to
Albert Lea, with the exception of q
few sections that will have to be
procured by condemnation proceed
ings.
Cost $4,000 Per Mile.
The road will cost approximately
$4,000 a mile. AS laid out it will
include the following stations: Worth
ington, Spofford, Sioux Valley, Loon
and Spirit Lake, Petersburg, Ceylon,
Silver Lake, East Chain, Pilot Grove,
Moore's Lake, Blue Earth, Brush
Creek, Wells, Alden and Albert Lea.
Mr. Doyle states that some of the
actual construction work will prob
ably be done this fall, working west
ward from Albert Lea. He says
that the bonds are all ready for the
market and that there is plenty Of
interested capital to buy them as
soon as the right of way is ready
to turn over.
Plans Are Prepared.
The plans are ready for the con-
sideration of contractors and that
there is nothing further to prevent
the work going rapidly forward.
Mr.. Doyle says that number OF
branch lines to connect with the
main line are contemplated, one Of
which is to connect with Fairmont,
but that probably the first they will
work on is one from Albert Lea to
Owatonna.
From the reports furnished by
Messrs. Knight and Doyle it appears
that the road is actually to be built,
and that soon electric passenger and
freight trains will be whizzing across
Martin county.

fellow among the ministers to en-
courage this feeling, but there are
also many who perhaps work eight
cen hours a day. Surely no other
business man does more. The major
ity of the ministers are doing a
large amount of good by enduring
hard knocks
Neither Sisses Nor Heroes.
Rev. P. K. Edwards of st. Johns
Episcopal church, speaking of the
statement made by Rev. Luce, said
that man must make up his mind
to put truth above ambition if he
enters the ministry. The ministers
are not a set of heroes and don't
pretend to be, but they are certainly
not a bunch of "sissies" either The
feeling generally prevalent among
ministers is to advance the kingdom
of God and in a right and legitimate
way. In comparing the personnel of
the ministry with that of an other
profession and it is found to be at
least equal.
