Show TRUTH. 10 with a very, scrigus. condition.. The peril of the situation is enhanced by the fact that our ministry and churches have. not grasped the facts concerning the appal ing destitution of- Ministers." Rev. Mr. Hill of, the of Indiana lias gathered some Synod statistics that ought to awaken solicitude and stir to action. He reports mere than 1,100 vacant pulpits in the Presbyterian church, and it would apof these pear that almost one-hachurches have very little prospect of for a church securing pastors, that cannot supply its own ministry has been smitten with dry rot and is nigh to end its days." The Pennsylvania Methodist said in an editorial that the Methodist church was dead at the top, and the Christian Advocate of March 30th this year, says there are many vacant pulpits in the Methodist church, and they have no preachers ' to fill them, etc., etc. Can not you see that your old bows and arrows of scoff, sneer, t ander and ridicule and your old flintlock muskets of creeds and dogmas, jealousy and hatred must be changed to the of peace, love new and goed will toward men? Let me give you some examples of what the latter haR done. I will first point you to the 'Catholics of this city. They have two magnificent schools that any city would be. pvoud of; they have two grand hospitals where the sick and the wounded can go and And rest; they have built an orphanage where poor motherless children can go and find mothers, plenty to eat and a soft bed. They are now building a grand and beautiful cathodral that travelers and tourists who visit here will say is a monument to the city. And back of the Catholics of this city is one that has been here many years, one whe lias been In nearly every town and hamlet in the state with a mission of gentleness, love and cheer, who, unlike Preacher McMillan, never carried a revolver snd never ridicu'ed or got up a petition against the Mormons or any other denomination. You all know who. I am referring to. It is Bishcp Scanlan. We know that some of his members a few. weeks ago, in hall, joined the A. P. A., but we will wager a Bear farm that Bishop Scanlan did not approve of it. Let me show you 1 ess anolhe-- . than two years ago there came to this city an educated, quiet, unostentatlcus man, whose mission was to upbuild, uplift, educate and, make humanity better. He found only a. handful of followers here, but they all went to work, and today. they have a beautiful iitt.le church on Second East street. I refer now to the Bev. Mr. Fish and the Unitarian society. This society has a. motto. I have not seen It. and I may net quote It correctly, but It is somethng like tills: "Thou shalt not rubber or stretch tby neck abcut anything that pertaineth to thy neighbor. Mr. Fish dops not belone to the Ministerial association or hate the Mormons. He preaches every Sunday morning .at 11 oclock. Go and hoar him. And last, but not least, I will cite you to an orthodox preacher who stands out from all. the rest like a ray of sunshine on a dark and cloudy day. I refer now to the Rev. Mr. Goshen of the Mr. First Congregational church. Goshen has no dogma and his creed Is 'imlted. He would not Join the Ministerial association if lie were invited. He has no grudge against the Mormons, or any other denomination. Ho doesnt care whether Joseph Smith translated the Bock of Mormon from tablets of gold or whether it Is Spauldings romance. On a dark and stormy night when the wind blows piteously down Brigham street, he is not afraid to leave the University club for fear that a band of Mormons with masks on their faces that cover their whiskers will grab him and rush him to the endowment licusq and compel him to. marry at least: one wife. eel - lf Krag-Jorgonso- n Bam-berge- anti-Morm- on .. . . . . rs every Sunday imagine his conceit!
