WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH THE PREACHERS?
Rev. McAIIister Will Reply to the
Question That Seems on Many
PEOPLES Minds.

Rev. F. B. McAllister states he will
reply to the question that seems to be
foremost in the minds Of a great
many. and the question which has
been. discussed pro and con in the
various magazines and papers, espe-
cially the Ladies Home Journal and
the Atlantic Monthly, as we'll as in
some Of the popular books, What is
the Matter With the Preachers?" He
contends something is the matter,
and seriously so. He asks, Has the
church lost its power to win thought
and activities Of the leading people,
has it lost its power to win inter
est and directly influence men and
women: if so, how far is the minis
ter responsible?" Is the minister
and the pulpit back issue. needed
in the Puritan days. but out1ived its
activity and today there is a demand
for something more modern2 In 9TH
er words, the pastor states, he will
raise the question Of whether the
preachers are earning their salt.
Rev. McAllister says this will de-
mand frank confession Of the real
life and desires of the minister and
his regard for his work, also the
needs and demands Of the present
time. He Will deal at length With the
minister's work and especially with
his private affairs, the relation Of
the parsonage to the work and also
the duties and expectations OF the
minister's wife. He will also ask
and answer, he states, whether the
average minister IS losing the pro-
phetic function by the organization Of
the church and its demands upon the
minister's time and erergy.
In addition to this the pastor will
give a heart to heart talk Of the woes
and experiences, humorous and sad,
that are part of the minister's life,
the characters and moods that must
be dealt with. the demands that are
made, and ideals that are placed be-
fore him. VIII there, he asks, be
a need for new message and mes
senger, or, what is the matter with
the preachers?
