PASTOR ADMIRES
CRANKS IN Church
Clergyman Eight Miles from
Anywhere" Tells Why in
Letter to Flock.

In letter to his congregation from
the Connecticut woods, where he is
spending his vacation and where he
says he is eight miles from any
WHERE" the Rev. David De Forest
Burrell, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain Church, South Orange, states
that he has been thinking in the
midst of the question of the most
strenuous thing he knows and one
of the very strenuous things he
deeply appreciates-the crank. The
cleric tells his flock that he likes
the crank because he is an enthusiast
with convictions to back his zeal,
If nothing else.
The Rev. Mr. Burrell, referringfto
the crank, in part says:
Il have no desire to talk of his
faults. AS a matter of fact, the
Crank has one advantage over other
people-he wears his faults on his
coat sleeves, where everyone can read
them. They are usually easily dis
coverable But l wish to speak of
his 'crankiness,' the very thing for
which most people criticise him. On
the whole, looking over the not in
considerable list of so-called Cranks
I know, I am inclined to admire them,
and to pray for more of the same
sort, and this for reasons.
The Crank is not afraid to talk out
In meeting, be 1t prayer meeting. con-
gregational meeting or what not. He
he he crit he
much speaking, but-and this is his
virtue-he speaks because his con-
victions make him speak,
THE Crank has reasons back of his
opinions, and he gives them. There
are many people who can talk, but
few who can talk nationally, in the
truest sense of that word; but 1
have seldom met a Crank whose
statements in public assembly were
not based on convictions.
1.-THE Crank stirs up discussion He
is not afraid to put the fat into the
IRE, and very often the fat needs to
be put into the fire! There are too
many of us willing to sit silent in
meeting and talk when all Is done,
but the Crank's convictions won't let
him wait
''The Crank does not count the cost
of his attitude to himself. Here is
where he excels most of us; we are
counting it all the time. We are
afraid to do or say what ought to be
done or said, for fear of public opin-
ion or some other bugaboo, but the
Crank is not afraid of anything but
his Conscience; he will speak out,
though the sky falls.
And we need more like him. He
gets things done. He moves the
world. He moves the church. And
he does it, not merely because he is
an enthusiast, but because he is an
enthusiast with convictions to back
his zeal. Peter the Hermit was
an enthusiast, Luther was a Crank
or would have been one, If the word
had been invented. God give us
morei Men and women fired with a
God-inspired zeal and filled with God
given convictions!"

composed of that class OF peo-
pie who are capable of Judg-
ing the ability of artists of
this line. The performers
proved themselves TO be mas
ters Of all the musical instru-
ments-and there was an
abundance of these, on which
they performed. The vocal
ist was one of the best ever
heard in Denver. The music
both instrumental and vocal
was of a high order and those
who attended the entertain
ment had a race musical treat
