PASTOR DEFIANT
"Hot Shot" Johnston Organizes
New Gospel.
Three Lose Jobs Expounding
1t i'm Pulpit.

Baltimore, Oct 2.-The Rev. Mer-
Ger Green Johnston who resigned the
pastorate of Holy Trinity church.
Newark, N. J., rather than preach to
please the sinners. arrived here today
ito organize a fellowship of clergy
who shall fight for freedom and
preach the gospel of social righteous
ness
My vestrymen wanted me to run
my church like a grocery store-to
Mr.. Johnston, and l couldn't quite
do it. 1 turned loose some real re-
ligion. The church wanted the con-
ventionaI and it objected. / imagine
this element in the vestry represents
the real desire of the congregation
for brilliant piffle,' as / have heard it
described. A phonograph and a few
well chosen records could deliver the
kind of religion they want. Then, too,
one can control phonograph with a
touch of the hand
It's Straight From Shoulder Kind.
The idea of preaching straight
from the shoulder religion" came to
the Rev. Mr.. Johnston prior to 1914
when he with Richard Wallace Hogue
the Rev. A. w. Arundel of st. George
New York, and a dozen others delib-
erately planned to preach twentieth
century religion from the Episcopal
pulpit and take what consequences
were coming. Mr.. Hogue left his
church and Dr. Arundel resigned from
Trinity Pittsburg in 1913.
The Rev. Mr.. Johnston will be asso.
ciated with Hogue in his work in Bal
timore. 1t is possible that he may take
another parish but only on warm in
vitation from all members and with
the frank understanding that he viii
speak his thoughts without Limitation
from the church members.

START PLAY IN BOSTON
BcanviIIe Very Likely to Get Opener
of the World Series.

New York, oct. At appears al
most certain that the opening games
of the world series will be played at
Braves Field in Boston, beginning
October or Z. The suggestion has
been made that the formality of toss
ing a coin for the privilege of staging
the contests be dispensed with and the
first two games awarded to the Bos-
ton Americans The suggestion is put
forward by the officials of the latter
club and the National league club
owners are considering the PROPOSE
ton.
Braves Field is ready for the OPEN
ing games while neither the Brooklyn
nor Philadelphia National league club
is justified. in view of the closeness of
the National league pennant race, in
installing additional stands and boxes
until it is settled which of the two
clubs will meet the winner of the
American league pennant.
