CHATTER. (Being the personal opinions of the writer and for which no one else is in any manner responsible.) Rev Dr. Albritton, pastor of the First Methodist church of this city, who by the way is an able minister and a very affable gentleman, in a three column dissertation on The preaching demanded by the times, published on Sunday morning last, among other statements has this one: The times demand preaching that reveals the wickedness of the wicked and the ex- ceeding sinfulness of sin.

Two weeks ago the daily papers contained figures taken from the records of the county commissioners showing that one fourth of the revenue derived from county taxes go to feed the poor. That is a shocking state of affairs, when we remember all this talk of prosperity, but up to date I have not heard of a Salt Lake minister arising in his pulpit and telling his congregation tha,t Though they speak with the tongues of angels and and have not charity they of men are become but as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. Neither do I observe anything relating to it in The preachThere is ing demanded by the times. a whole lot of stuff about being born again, but not a single expression anent the saying of the Master The poor ye have with ye al way. Perhaps it is the desire of the ministry to let them alone in order to keep them with us. There is ample comment on Sabbath Desecration but divil a word on I was an hungered and ye gave me no meat. Perhaps it is God's business to attend to the poor, foi: we are taught to pray Give us this day our daily bread, and maybe that should settle it. ftlfft Now, Doctor, for some years, in my weak, homely way, I have been trying to hammer some sense into the hard headed clergy of this country. In some cases it worked, too. Let me suggest the government plan of rejuvenating humanity. It believes the well fed man makes the best soldier. He does. And the fellow with the full dinner bucket ; is the best citizen. It is the hun rrv chap who becomes the anarchist a man with a stomach full of bacon and eggs may not be as spiritual as the clergy would wish him to be, but he will listen to the message of Divine love longer and pay more attention to it than the poor chap who hasnt had any break fast. The man who surrounds a zood dinner will be more kindly disposed to receive the teachings of the gospel than the person without a pie card. You make up your mind that the preachW demanded by the times is the gospel of love and hammer it into your congrega- tion until they take baskets of food and clothes to those who need it; send coal to the chilly and warm stockings and shoes to the barefooted, and when you have got them comfortably fixed you can reveal the Divine plan of salvation 'to them with great success. Tell them the story of an undying love by all means, but give them their breakfast first. Preach to them that Christ died to save sinners, but furnish them a blanket to sleep under. A half frozen erson isnt one-haas afraid of hell re as you would think. He would take a chance just to get warm. Get the other ministers to stir up their flocks. Tell them they are the ones who have to fear the brimstone pond if they do not look up the needy and help them, for has not Christ said: Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me. Never mind the wickedness of the times. Your listeners will find it out soon enough. Hammer some goodness into them. If all the ministers would do that there might come a time when the good would overbalance the evil. Take pattern by the Mormons. Have fast days, not to 'mortify the flesh, but to save something from your own for the benefit of others. lf 5 V r ... f-- v K . . : is the gospel of love. ft ft a It is with sad heart that I write today of one who has penetrated the veil which divides this from the other and pay a last tribute to Judge William S. Arnold, who died on the 18th of this month and was laid to rest on Tuesday last. His public history has been told in the newspapers, but his private life is known only to his friends. Faults he had, and many, but he was ever ready to acknowledge them. His virtues were legion and among them was one which made of him a favorite.
