VAUDEVILLE, IN THE PULPIT.

The y. y. Freemen's Journal, under
the caption OF "prostituting the Pull
pit" has an editorial in last week S
issue based on an item of news in the
st. Paul Pioneer Press relative to the
undignified antics of Rev. G. l.. Nor
rill of this city. AS our esteemed New
York contemporary obtained its news
from the Pioneer Press 1t naturally
supposed that Mr.. Morrill, held services
in st. Paul. For the information Of
the Freenan's Journal let us say that
the irreverent preacher in question be-
longs to Minneapolis and was formerly
pastor OF Calvary Baptist church. AZ
ter leaving that church he started the
Peoples Church" and holds his
weekly meetings in the Unique theater
on Henncpin avenue every Sunday
morning. The theater Is usually over
flowing with an audience OF monde
scripts who apparently belong to no
religious denomination. and that il
why Morrill, calls it the Peoples
Church." When acting as pastor OF
Calvary church twenty years ago he
attracted wide attention by assaiing
Catholicity hut he has abandoned that
altogether and now attends strictly to
the creedlcss masses who love every
thing Of sensational nature. With
these remarks We give the Freeman
Journals editorial as follows:
The Rev. DR.. Morrill, recently gave
a specimen Of vaudeville in his pulpit.
He had made arrangements with two
chorus girls to give illustrations OF
"ras" dances in the Peoples Church
of which he is pastor. They were to
show his congregation the intricacics

| last moment the chorus girls backed
out. The pastor Of the Peoples
Church was determined, however
that the members OF his congregation
should not be deprived of the enter
tatnment he purposed giving them.
As the chorus girls would not be OF,
hand, the ST. Paul pastor determined
to do the dancing himself and supple.
ment it with sermon. He seat for
dancing teacher, who not only went
through the dances with him before
the sermon, but stationed himself in a
place where he could coach the dane
ing minister. The public announce
ment that chorus girls were to enter
tain the congregation of the peoples
Church" with an exhibition Of the
turkey trot' had the effect of draw
ing an immense crowd. From the
local paper which furnishes us with
! these particulars we learn that there
was 40 disappointment when the pas
tor began dancing and giving his SER
mon at the Same time
A Protestant minister gyrating in
his pulpit to illustrate the character
OF an indecent dance, is the up-to- date
development of the system Of sensa-
tioaal preaching. which Henry Ward
Beecher and other Protestant preach
crs inaugurated generation ago. That
style Of pulpit oratory for many years
kept within the limits Of decorum
which We're narrowed more and moss
as the Bible lost it's ancient authority
with the Protestant sects. The vaude-
Vile antics Of the st. Paul preacher is
the latest exhibition Of what that loss
has brought in it's train. The press
dispatch dealing with it informs us
that the assembled congregation, who
had come to see chorus girls illustrate
the turkey trot" We're not disappoint-
eli when the minister began dancing
and giving his sermon at the same
time.''
Why should it be disappointed? The
members Of the peoples Church
| came to be entertained and the dane
ing pastor filled the bill in a satisfac-
tory manner. Neither he nor Ills rci-
low sensational preachers could hold
congregations if they confined them
selves to the Gospel preaching that
appealed to Protestant churchgocrs O!
former times. The latter crowded their
churches to hear "the eternal vcrities,'
backed by the authority Of u book they
believed to be divinely inspired
preached to them. Today their de-
scen1ants, not possessing their faith,
demand of their pastors radically
different sort Of instruction. Hence
the sermons on politics, socialism and
other subjects that ministers Of former
times never thought Of discussing il
their pulpits.

HOME RULE AND THE ARTS.

N One OF the benefits that may be ex-
Hpeetcd confidently from the granting
Oh seif-government to the Irish peo-
pie through Home Rule is their stimu-
lation on lines not legislative or Geo.
nomic. 1t is likely that this political,
Victory SO long fought for will bring
about sort OF renaissance of the ma
tonal genius. resulting in noteworthy
accomplishments il the fine arts and
IN the field Of the intellect, says the
Chicago Tribune OF Sunday last.
For several years the stimulation of
Irish talent has been apparent. The
Abbey tlleater enterprise, whose
unique art is now being presented for
the second time il Chicago through
the visit Of the Irish players at the
zine Arts theater, and. the dramatic
and lyric work of Yeats and Synse
OF Shaw. of Ale. and OF many other
gifted writer's in Ireland, the move
nent for the revival Of tho Irish
tongue arc all encouraging signs OF
a period Of esthetic creative energy
which will make Important additions
to modern culture.
This hope is indeed IL selfish one not
confined to the Irish, for what peoples
do in periods of revival Of heightened
energy, belongs to tho world. 1t is
from this point Of view that Lady
GrcgorH's letter in regard TO the Dub
iii collection Of modern paintings is
important. This collection ranks very
high and unquestionahly il it be made
permanent will stimulate Irish talent
or lines, as MIR. Bernard Shaw points
out. peculiarly sympathetic to it. The
collection, especially Sir Hugh Lanes
unequaled examples of the art Of
Manet and other modern French mas
tiers, will do far more good in Dublin
than in London or America, where it
is likely to find itself piecemeal unless
tho Irish project succeeds.
Perhaps some prosperous Irish
American will save the day. though
for that matter why need it be an
lrishman": The developments OF Irish
genius Will be- shared by all civilized
peoples. Yeats is easily among the
first of living poets. Syngc. though
cut short In his career. had given us
some OF the most striking or con.
temporary plays. and the Irish thea

tcrprises in the contemporary thea

that the race transplaated by King

safely assert that Cork county alone
