| Alderman Volk, who is chairman of
the plumbing committee, arose to in
ouire as to whether the orders of the
council had been obeyed in bringing pro.
ceedings against the plumbers who have
not taken out licenses, as required by
law. AT former session, the council
had passed a motion that action be TAX
en- against those who refused to take out
licenses. Four of the plumbing firms at
once complied with the law, while four
refused.
Alderman Volk inquired Of City At
torney Macy what had been done. He
was Informed that warrants for the ar
rest of the four plumbers had been filed
with Chief Of Police varney. Upon fur
ther inquiry it developed that Chief
Varney had failed to swear out the
warrants and as a result, no action had
been taken against the plumbers, not
withstandinp the orders of the city
council.
"What I want ito know is why the
chief of police did not obey the orders
of the council,'' declared Mr., volk,
"and whether there is any way to re-
move him, even if he was elected by
the people. - He was informed by City
Attorney Macy the council could re-
move an official who did not obey iii
orders.
After several attempts to bring to Q

services, suddenly ended the performance
one day by exclaiming 80 Lord, I've been
a minister long enough; please make me
just nice, nice gentleman The minis
terial air which is inconsistent with nat
uralness went far toward destroying the
usefulness of those chaplains who carried
it with them into the trenches. A sermon,
says DR.. Kelman, should not be an ex-
hibition but is rather a glorifed CONVEX
sation, in familiar speech but to larger
company than usual; and he quotes the
lament of an Englishwoman acquainted
with the greatest church orators in Great
Britain over the difference between many
of them in conversation and in the pulpit:
"The moment they begin to preach, or
even to read the Scripture, they become
formal, dead and unreal. Oh, tell them
to be natural The war has tended to
make those who were engaged in it more
simple and natural in spirit and this ten.
dency demands greater simplicity and
naturalness in the pulpit.
These lectures before the Yale School
of Religion by the Rev. DIR. Kelman, like
many of the previously published Lyman
Beecher lectures at that institution, are
full Of instruction for non-clerical public
speakers as well as for clergymen. They
contain many valuable hints and lessons
for the lawyer, the legislator and even
for the after dinner speaker. The au-
thor's illuminating experience as war
chaplain entities the volume to a place in

of the religious possibilities awakened in

THE late Augustin DAILY used to say
u that a wise theatrical manager
would relieve the monetony of Shakes
pearian reproduction by occasionally pre-
senting to the public ga drama Of con-
temporaneous human interest" Acting
on similar principle, the faculty of the
Yale Divinity School, in administering the
Lyman Beecher Lectureship on Preaching
In that institution, have wisely had regard
to some of the absorbing topics which
interest mankind at the present day.
Accordingly they invited the Rev. DR..
John kelman, minister of st. Georges
Free United Church, Edinburgh, a dis
tinguished Scottish divine who served as a
chaplain with the British Expeditionary
Force in France, to deliver the latest series
of lectures on that foundation at New
Haven, and these now appear in a volume
entitled The Var and Preaching, just
published by the Yale University Press
The title indicates the timely character of
the discourses which the volume contains,

vital import concerning the attitude Of
our fighting men toward religion.
The lyman Beecher Lectureship on
Preaching was founded at Yale College in
1871 by Henry W. Sage of Brooklyn, in
honor of Henry Ward Beecher's father.
Henry Ward Beecher himself delivered
the first three series of lectures. He has had
forty different successors in the lecture
ship preceding Dr. Kelman, many of
them men of celebrity, such, for example,
as DR.. John Hall, Bishop Greer and Phil
lips Brooks. DIR. Kelman is Scotch by
birth and Scottish and Australian by edu-
cation, having broken off his studies at
Edinburgh to visit Australia, where he
spent year at Ormonae College in Mel
bourne. He was ordained in 1891 at the
age of % and has been minister Of one of
the principal Presbyterian churches in
Edinburgh since 1907. He came from the
front in Flanders to lecture in this coun-
try in reference TO the war in 1917, and
then received an honorary degree from
Yale; so nothing was more natural than
that he should he chosen to deliver the
Lyman Beecher lectures for 191S-1919
Hence the present volume.
II.
The Importance Of reality in preaching
is DR.. Kelman's principal thesis. He
found that in the British army only about
25 per cent of the soldiers stood il any
living relation with the church. "Thc
reason why these men do not go TO church
is that they are not interested in the things
which the church provides. They are at
one with the church in many OF her teach
ings, but it seems to them that she ex-
presses her teachings in different Ian
guage from their own-diferent not only
IN words but in habits of thought as
we'll To them the church is a great
organized unreality They neither desire
it nor do they hate it. They simply leave
it alone as a thing entirely out Of thei-
line"

interest-that which is common to speaker
and hearer, that which they have between
them" The lesson which intercourse with
the soldiery engaged in actual warfare
seems to have impressed upon the mind
of the learned author most deeply is that
preachers must be real men, dealing in q
real way with real things. The technique
of pulpit eloquence avails nothing to men
to whom the language of the speaker car
ries no meaning which they can translate,
into action. A preacher can hope to be
ineligible to his hearers, in the view of
DIR. Kelman, only along the lines of human
experience; yet he often ignores all ex-
perience-his own as well as that of his
hearers. Hence his sermons carry no
message to those who hear them; they are
only words, words, words. The war has
served to emphasize the essential impor-
lance Of this reliance upon experience as
the basis of effective religious teaching,
although it is truth which has long been
familiar to the more enlightened among
the ministry of all churches
The Rev. Dr. Kelman saw two great
nations going into the war, England and
America. On Christmas day, in 1916, he
first reached the line-"the long, irregular,
lpose-fung stream of faint sedge color,
along which the men of two hostile ma
tions watched each other and in whose
strip of No Mans Land they met"
Thenceforward he served with the Allies
at almost every point along the British
front, receiving and caring for the walk
ing wounded returning from the shell
holes, assisting at the surgeons clearing
stations just behind the line and dwelling
where every walk took him from one way
side grave to another, amid a forest of
wooden crosses. He was made an officer
of the Order of the British Empire in
recognition of his services rs chaplain.
These Yale lectures show how the chap
lains, regarded by the staff at the outset as
useless membranes rather than anything
else, indicated their right to be cOnsid-
cred "among the urgent necessities of the
war" They came TO be eypertsjn making
religion real thing to the fighting men.
Gone was constantly impressed and al
most haunted by the sense that these men
were more religious than they knew" A
great sympathy grew Ip between all SEN
sible chaplains and the organizations to
which they were attached. Once on
stormy day, in a downpour of rain,
chaplain had an appointment to conduct
parade service and preach TO the troops
in the open. He began by saying: ''No
man but fool would detain you here on
such day as this" He then proceeded
to state that his text vas What Think

human nature but lover of it. Thus

ought to inspire. An attractive child

WPole Oh 1t was the same question; and
he then declared that the parade was dis
missed. 1t is safe to say that the soldiers
went to their quarters with mere food for
religious thought and better satisfied with
the religion Of their chaplain than IL they
had been forced to listen to long sermon
In the rain.
DR.. Kelman thinks it is foolish to talk
of new religion which the soldiers are to
bring back with them from the trenches.
There was seldom any conscious awaken
ing among them to religious memories;
but men could not "die daily" as they did,
without undergoing change in the ma
ture of a revelation. "YOu had mnltitudes
of astonished men aware of blind move
ments in their souls. They were finging
out, on the off chance, prayers to a neg
lected God. They were amazed by visions
which they did not understand. Under
highly mystical experience their souls lay
awakened but helpless and umcompre-
hending." Thus the war revealed in the
depths Of many hearts the foundations OF
religious faith. There was good deal Of
fatalism among the men at the front. 1t
was a common saying that if mans num-
Der was up he would be killed, but not
otherwise, and that nothing could get him
except the bullet or bit of shrapnel that
had his name on it. The fear of death,
however, appeared to vanish from men at
the front, although they did not manifest
callous indifference, nor did they want tc
die any more than before. "Apart alto
gether from religious faith they had the
firm conviction that all does not end at
the grave and that those who die are still
alive somewhere, still active and aware"
Crosses and crucifxes were everywhere,
and tile cross took on new significance
for many who realized for the first time
that it imported laying down ones own
life for the good of others. The cross
of Constantine, with the inscription, "In
hoe Signo rinceS," was displayed on the
wall Of the plainly furnished little hall
where Field Marshal Haig attended ser
vice every Sunday.
