"The Rev. Mr.. Archibald" said Deacon
Garfield, has been conducting a series of
special sermons for Sunday night services
He agreed to obtain the concurrence OF the
board OF deacons before inviting his speak
ers. Since the board had always unani.
mously approved his choice, he >yentured
to invite Miss Pearson first, and consult
us later. He never dreamed, you see that
we would object.
at was not until Sunday morning, after
notices advertising Miss Pearson's sermon
had appeared, that we learned our evening
was u COlll6 lIOul lU6 lips VI Il
movie 'vamp' We discussed it among our
selves then took the subject up with Mr..
Archibald.
at was merely a question of different
points Of view. We argued that the pulpit
was no place for a movie vampire. We
pointed to the fact that the Baptist Church
does not believe in theatrical performances,
either on the screen or on the stage. And,
last but not least, we feared that Miss
Pearson-the estimable vampire-woud
use our holy pulpit as an advertising
medium.
"Mr. Archibald argued that Baptist
churches in New York have been featuring
talks by actors and actresses to enlighten
the public on the subject of stage morals
He declared that we should be willing to
further propaganda which would counter
act the recent explorations of the moral
delinquencies Of stage folk. We did not
think so.
Moreover, we felt that It would be
thoroughly inconsistent for us to lend our
good Baptist backing to theatrical person
in view, you see, of the fact that the
Church does not approve of the theatre
IF we permitted the beautiful woman, who
is not only a vaudeville performer but
screen vampire, to address our people, It
would seem to be an Endorsement of her
profession.
"Loath to drop his project, Mr.. Archibald
argued that he had planned to draw from
Miss Pearsons story inspiration for a ser.
mon on the stage. If she could not talk,
his inspiration, he said, could not be
derived.
STILL in view of all circumstances, we
decided that II would be better'f the lady
kept to the stage. Whereupon we in
ctructed the minister to write-her little
note expressing his regret and telling her
that his invitation must be withdrawn. 1t

Grated pulpit is not the place for pretty
actress. And wha: else could we do?"
To Mr.. Canfields explanation the Rev.
Deacon A NJ Dairy adds his little word.
THE pulpit for a movie vampire!
Never! Theatres and churches are too
far apart. Miss Pearson may be, and
probably is, a very nice lady, but VIC de-
cided, by unanimous vote, that the holy
pulpit of our First Baptist Church was no
place for her.
I'VE felt that she had no right to use
the House of God as a means of adver-
tsng herself and her show We rescued
the pulpit from becoming a vehicle for
theatrical publicity"
But after ALL some good has come from
the incident. The Rev Mr.. Archibald Ia
very happy. He's found it pays to adver
tse. And the First Baptist Church has
raised his salary 5000.
Following the pulpit incident, a great
prayer meeting was called The church
was crowded, and hundreds were turned
away. Never was there such prayer meet.
ing in that church before.
Mr.. Archibald started things by an.
nouncing that complete harmony had been
restored between the deacons and himself.
and that the affair, so far as they all are
concerned has finally ended
The Rev. Deacon Dairy then rose 10
remark that all were happy although he

had gathered. And then the meeting

rs an actress an unfit person to occupy
the pulpit of a church? Even IL the
- woman herself is of reputable charac-
ter, is 1t a desecration of the House OF
God to permit an actress to speak from
the pulpit?
No matter how blameless her character
may be, is a woman who wears low
necked gowns, silken underclothes, per-
fumes and rouges her lips and facets
such a person symbol Of evil and there
fore not to be tolerated in a spot conse.
Grated to spiritual things?
Is an actress who is q woman Of WORTH
ness and high character in private life
unfit to address a congregation from
pulpit il she has played the part on the
stage of a disreputabe woman-a vamp?
These interesting questions have recent
ly occupied the minds of the worthy peo-
pie of Nashua, New Hampshire, and the
deacons of the First Baptist Church Of
Nashua have decided that no woman of
the stage shall speak from the pulpit Of
their church.
of the First Baptist Church, did not take
this view of the danger to the morals of
his flock by permitting an actress to speak
to the congregation from his pulpit. Rev.
Mr. Archibald reads the newspapers, and
he had noticed how other clergymen in
different parts of the country had invited
representatives of the stage to occupy
their pulpits and present their views as to
stage morality and stage life.
It seemed to the pastor that this was
rather good idea-to have some frst-hand
information from a woman Of good char
actep who spoke from knowledge and ex.
perience in the dramatic world
So when Mr.. Archibold read the notice
Of the coming engagement Of Virginia
Pearson and her husband in vaudeville at
a Nashua theatre. he invited the actress
to occupy his pulpit the next Sunday even
ing. and deliver a sermon on Efforts to
Raise the Moral Standards Of the Stage"
Certainly the subject seemed a worthy
one, and the good pastor was delighted
when he found that Miss Pearson would
be pleased to accept his invitation.
So the Rev. Mr.. Archibald passed the
word around, and not only did his parish
pners hear the news with much interest
and anticipation, but also the local chap
ters of the Odd Fellows and the Rebekahs
OF the Granite State decided to attend the
services It never occurred to the pastor
that he had been lured by the devil to
invite a temptress, with the voice of
honey, a modern Cleopatra, to invade the
hitherto unstained pulpit Of the First Bap.
tist Church.
When Sunday evening came the church
was full.
Il would have been as full had It been
three times as big. Outside they clamored
for admission. Down in the front rows

not speak. They held an indignation meet

approval.

Then the pastor went on. 1t seemed
that Miss Pearson was in town at .

ton. She had accepted Then he had

abs. So far so good.
Then into the picture had stepped the
deacons of his church with astonishment
and indignation. What they couldn't un.
derstand was why screen vampire should
be asked to speak from the pulpit of their
church. They could not permit it.
Senior Deacon Raymond r. Garfield was
much distressed. The Rev. Deacon Albert
