THOSE HOLY MEN


Religion has many good preachers,
upright men of God dispensing its
blessings. 1t is splendid venture, on
the basis of something which is not a
venture. But good preachers, upright
men Of God, are being hindered in
their work BY monsters Of the type
mobbed recently in a Tennessee city.
Religion has an encouraging array
Of intelligent clergymen, stalwart cit
liens whose moral enthusiasm keeps
them active in civic affairs. Yet the
heroism and exalted devotion Of these
ministers are too often overshadowed
BY the preacher busybody in politics.
The pulpit monster and preacher
busybody are moral, social and eco
nomic pests Of every American COM
munity south. north, east and west
One makes "speakeasy" Ct his
church, and masked as shepherd
plays wolf in preying upon the inno-
cent girls and foolish women Of the
flock. The other is the thinble-
headed gump, whose pulpit rantings
keep church-roers from real knowl-
edge and clear, thinking on Sundays
He does this to make an easy sale Of
the votes Of his congregation by lying
to politicians the remainder of the
week.
There will be a measurable increase
OF happiness, peace and prosperity in
every community when good preach
ers. upright men Of God, and intelli-
gent cIerEymen. stalwart citizens,
worthwhile laymen join hands. Then
they can clean out the puIpits effec-
lively, preserve the dignity and res
pect Of the Christian ministry. It can
be done.
Fortunately churchgoers and many
who do not 60 to church, are abau-
doning the belief in hell and in the
depredations Of a personal devil. This
modified belief is weakening the in
Huerce Of the pulpit profteer whose
stock in trade has been rearing and
tearing" to excite his hearers to
spasms Of emotion.
Most certainly there is yet great
work for consecrated ministers and
Iaymen Of the better sort to do. They
can rid pulpits Of wolves who prey
upon innocent girls and silly women
They can also protect the ballots Of
church congregations from being
traded by grating preachers to venai
politicians.
Only good men and true, stalwart
and far-sighted citizens are fit TO
stand IN the pulpit. They will work
honestly, sincerely and unselhshly for
the spread Of religion, the advance
ment Of public morality in politics. "A
good cleaning is often as much needed
in pulpits as the holes Of communities.
The record shows "hoIy" men in both.

preachers dabbling in politics need as
much watching as other men doing
