PASSING OF THE OLD TIME
PREACHER.

One of the most pathetic scenes
imaginable in church affairs took
place recently in a prominent church
of this city. To be unthoughtful the
situation was only slightly noticed,
but to those who are accustomed to
receiving from incidents rec
ognize the gospel of efficiency or
non-efficiency wherever exemplified.
1t was on Sunday night, perhaps a
tired audience awaited an equally
tired but good pastor, who graciously
gave the privilege of preaching to the
one ''old gentleman" who proved
sweetly unable to carry out the orig
inal plan. Here is where the pathetic
part comes in. The one of the old
school took his text from the new
testament and in three minutes he
was rambling back by the burning
bush with Moses as a central figure
and the audience catching nothing
from the harangue but such morsels
as "pard'ning of your SINS my fair
beloved" burning bush" and such
happy conclusion S the ~Israelites be-
ing led by "a cloud of pillar by day"
The long hoped for climax brought
the same feeling as one who has
listened to the continuous roar of ma
chinery the sudden stop of which
leaves a strange quietness but gives
a decided relief. The inability of the
old time preacher to say something
substantial and intelligent is what
gives the effort he makes it's pecu-
liar pathos. The audience in this
case is educated up to a higher stand
ard of conception and reception than
the Reverend Gentleman" is able to
supply, hence a different duty de-
wolves on the auditors to sit patiently
and bear out the time. The truth is
that the average preacher of this class
has failed to keep abreast with the
times and therefore is a discord in
modern religious thought. He clings
essentially to the superstition and
~quackeries of the past. Is this owing
to conditions imposed on him. No,
but chiefly to neglected opportunities
to equip himself with fair knowledge.
Yes, the old time preacher has lost
his grip and in whatever veneration
we may hold him, he is slipping back
because he has stood still and the
world moved on.

The commissioners thought the idea very good one and designated the fire stations of the city IS the place where all cuttings shall be taken. After they have been received the public will be notified through the press and can cali fdr them.

Various suggestions have been offered under this head, which, in order that they may be made more impressive. viii be summarized. Then. to. there may be some who have not followed these suggestions from the teginning so they will need some light on the subject.
 Without the use of superhuous words we suggest that you begin at the curb and end at the back fence or lot line If there is a start of grass on tie strip between the crub and walk clean it of thoroughly. If it has been planted with permanent mixture of lawn grass or sodded with Bermuda there will be little trouble to ask the City Beautiful on q post card to allow you to have hauled some of their street sweapings Use these to fill up Impressions in the lawn, and, if lower than walk or curb to raise the eff tire strip. Of course all coarse stuff should be removed before applying to the lawn This suggestion also applies to the lawn proper-fill up depressions and level
