Election on the United States. just
because the lawless element don't
want 1t enforced is expressing lack
of confidence"
Speaking OF the cooperation OF the
press, not only in this city, bu,
throughout the State, Mr.. Elliott ex-
pressed his appreciation for the great
help OF the newspapers.

seizures for the first half OF the year

THE CITY OF TOMORROW
BY c. o. YoAKuM

ing will go to the heart and make
men better? What will confuse the
issue between good and evil and
make men hate the very name OF the
church? Probably no one can say
exactly, but certainly the kind of
pulpit from which it is preached has
nothing to do with the effectiveness
of the sermon.
We have seen humble men on the
street corner preaching what was, by
every test, the word of life. And We
have heard doctors OF divinity, in
high pulpits before great congrega-
tions, preaching piffle. These are
the rare exceptions, OF course: but
the point is that the word OF life is
in the man, not in the institution.
The voice Of pride, the overtone of
racial arrogance or of class super
iority, or the twisted logic Of the
double mind make preaching foolish
ness, whether 1t be from soap-box
or cathedral.
The test is simple,-are men helped
by it? All men apply that test for
themselves; unable to follow the tor
tuous paths OF theological refine
ments, they ask only for little guild
ance and encouragement for the NOR
row. And the discourse that gives
that is great preaching. or outdoor
services it is said: "If the sermon
doesn't go the audience will" and in
the course OF the years that is true
as well of all religious institutions
and their following. When preachers
are no longer useful in the common
ways that Artemus Ward suggests,
the public viii swiftly eliminate them
The ideal preacher is a man. not
an angel His business is TO COM
municate the divine good will to his
fellows, to live it and act it and per-
suade men TO believe it. He is use
full to the city just in the measure Of
his ability to demonstrate TO his
brethren that at every turn OF the
daily path the material and earthly
impinges upon the unseen and eter-
nal. Such preaching is as beautiful as
light, as useful as water. and no city
can be sane and clean without it.
