“Yellow Pulpitism” Decent people are dlsgueted with yel fc.w Joumiliim. but there la a "eellow pulpitism’ which fa no leas reprehen sible than yellow journalism. Rabbi Phillpaon. of Cincinnati, has re tently given tt a moot juat. although moot scathing, condemnation. Among »ther things which he said is this dis criminating paragraph in his discourse: '•Now. not every utterance of a preacher that creates a sensation la necessarily sensationalism. Troth la often sensational in that it startles and attracts attention. But this is altogether different from the striv ing after notoriety which marks the sensational preacher who degrades the pulpit in order to attract notice to himself, and who brings religion into disrepute with all high-thinking people by using the clap-trap meth ods of the quack advertiser. For there are qimcks in the ministry as well as in the medical profession . . . Recently a pulpit quack of this kind advertised a baseball sermon, to which he gave the title. ‘Won at the Plate; the Home-run of Salvation.’ The sermon was altogether In base ball llrtgo, and was illustrated by baseball scenes Os course the church was crowded by curiosity mongers, and the preacher gained his end of wide advertisement, but he had done religion a sorry service." The Rabbi then spoke of the sermon topics which appear in almost all the Saturday evening papers. Inserted by Ae pulpit quacks who seek to profit by tech yellow methods: ‘Seeking Grass lor Mules and Finding Elijah’; anoth er. "Nathan Baid to David. Thou Art the Man.’ or the Crack Detective"; and still another. "Out bf the Frying Pan Into the Fire: A Study of a Recent Suicide." Such debasing stuff can not be cen tered too severely. It degrades the dig nity of the pulpit, and dissipates the au thority of the solemn troth which Is sup posed to be the source of all proper pulpit discussion. It turns the preacher, who ought to be and who claims to be God's messenger, into a mere pulpiteer »f a very low order. It smothers the prophetic inspiration, and puts a buffoon Into the sacred place where the prophet only ought ever to appear. Rabbi Philp son has done a service to the entire reli gious community in his denunciation of such profaneness and indecency in the pulpit. When a man who calls himself s preacher descends to "yellow pulpit ism." he proclaims his utter want of moral purpose in his work. He shows that he is in the pulpit, not to rescue the perishing, but to entertain the friv olous and godless for such monetary re wards as they may incline to give him. It ip Incredible that any sane man can believe for a moment that real re ligious results can be achieved by such methods; and he who adopts them there by shows that he does not aim at the achievement of religoius ends. He can not possibly intend anything higher than k poor show—a sort of theatre comique on Bunday in a church. The people who attend his shows do not intend or desire any religious benefit; they simply go as a matter of diversion to see a sorry ex hibition in a place of worship on the day when other places of cheap amuse ment are closed. However they may praise the clerical showman who amuses them for the hour, in their Inmost souls they can not respect him as a man of God. Such methods show also an utter want of faith in the gospel. Many men are seeking to employ in the pulpit some- Do People Shun You ON ACCOUNT OF FOUL BREATH FROM CA TARRH? THEN READ BELOW. l||||||W -My. kwttT Why Don’t Tow Hava Sanaa Cura That Catarrh?"

Os what use is It to draw a crowd to church. If nothing is done to draw them away from sin and draw them to Christ? Getting a mob to as semble in a place of worship, with no thought of God nor care for salvation, is not a thing worth doing; it is rather a sin to be avoided. Now. the gospel is the power of God unto salvation; and when a preacher aims at the salve * tion of men he will rely solely on the gospel; for he has nothing else that will in any wise serve such a purpose. But if he has no such purpose, and only in tends to ’draw” and divert a gaping crowd, the gospel is of no force for the accomplishment of such a design. He will rely upon "current topics,” second hand science, shallow philosophy. or pretentious discussions of popular lit erature to attract the crowds whose presence he so intensely desires. He will cater to his customers according to his conception of the things which will most strongly appeal to them. It is at this point we come upon the birth-point of the evil of “yellow pul pitism'’; it arises when a man begins to account himself as one who has some thing to sell to the people, rather than as a messenger of God commissioned to proclaim the will of Heaven to the people. It is this misconception of the office and work of the preacher which has shifted the center of gravity in many pulpits. It lies at the bottom of all the disposition to do pulpit adver tising. An advertiser is one who seeks patronage; but a messenger of God can not ask patronage of men. and when a preacher consents to ask patronage for himself or for his message, he de scends from his high calling of God to become a mere caterer to men—a poor purveyor of Sunday shows and cheap diversions. He will adopt the methods of “yellow pulpitism", or do anything else to retain his customers. For all this evil the people who call for such stuff and patronize it are much to be blamed. They create the demand, and forthwith weak men in the pulpit Original Wilson Man Found 1 Proves To Be a Womanl (By Associated Frees.) JOLIET, 111., Nov. 9.—John C. Baker, of Manhattan, was the happiest man In | Mill county over the election of Wood row Wilson to the presidency because he fulfilled a prediction made by his sister, Mrs. Mary Russell, more than forty years ago. ( Mrs. Russell was Mr. Wilson’s teacher when she was ten years old, in Tileston school, Wilmington, N. C„ and at that time predicted that the boy some day would be president She did not live to see her prophecy fulfilled. She died three years ago at Leesville, N- C., at the age of eighty-four. As a token of his esteem, Wilson pre sented his teacher with a little fretwood picture frame, which is now in the Ba ker home. Mrs. Russell watched Mr. Wilson grow to fame and with each ad vance changed the picture in the frame. When she gave the frame to her brother she remarked : "You will want to keep this, for when he gets to be president you will be very proud of it." Baker said that Wilson's father. Rev. Joseph Wilson, visited him at Manhat tan at the time his son published his first book and said: "Well. I don't see where Woodrow gets his smartness.” GOMPERS IN ROCHESTER FOR BIG LABOR MEETING fSv Associated Press.) ROCHESTER. N. Y.. Nov. 9.—With the arrival of Samuel Compere and Sec retary Frank Morrison today, plans for the annual convention of the Federation of Labor, to open here Monday, began to assume definite shape. The metal trades and union label branches of the presentation to the federation. , The executive council of each depart ment will meet to prepare subjects for prcrer.V’tion to the 'ecratiou.

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1912. BY BISHOP W. A. CANDLER furnish the supply. The mania for amusement has gone to great extremes in our day; and it is not surprising that it has entered the churches and demanded to be by the very men who ought to rebuke and exorcise 'it Men and women, who finding life hanging heavy on their hands, have been rushing from one diversion to an other all the week, can hardly have any desire for serious religious services on Sunday; they wish the pulpit to amuse I them until the play-houses can open again on Monday. They would like the sermon to be short and "spicy", and the music to be as much like that of the opera house as possible. And alas! there are weak men, clad in clerical garb and professing a call to preach, who are ready to yield to the imperious require ments of this vulgar horde of amuse ment fcuzzlers. Hence "yellow pulplt ism” points to yellowness in the pews, just as yellow journalism reveals a lot lof yellow subscribers. The pulpiteer < Is out for patronage, and he offers the kind of goods which his patrons call | for. They pay for what they get, and they get what they pay for..* But Christ ■ abhors such trafficking in the house of God. Only once in the life of the Saviour do I we see him moved by such indignation as approached violence; he drove the traders from the temple. But the wares offered by the traders, whom he drove from the temple In Jerusalem, were far ! and away better for selling In the house 'of God than the products of ' pulpitism". Oxen and doves were need ed for the sacrifices, and people who came to Jerusalem from over the seas, or across wide distances on land, were pleased to find offerings waiting for them at the temple’s gate. Moreover, i they would require to have their foreign money changed before casting their gifts into the temple treasury. These consid erations gave some sort of plausible ex cuse for the commerce in the temple which Jesus drove from that holy place. But what possible excuse can be made for trafficking in unclean "yellow pulpifr ; ism” in a church? It would be bad enough to offer it for sale anywhere, but it is doubly criminal to use a church as the market-place for such shoddy I stuff. It lies with the people to put an end to this evil. It will disappear as soon aa public sentiment destroys the morbid demand for it; and that ought to oa very soon. Let us no longer offer a premium for sensationalism in the pulpit. Let us rather esteem more hlghlv those seri ous and earnest men who bring home to our hearts the great things of God’s word which belong to our salvation and make for our peace. Let us prefer above all others the man of God who deals faithfully with us, and warns us against sin and shows us the way of salvation. There Is a current complaint that we have few great preachers and few great sermons in the churches of today. In so far as the complaint is well-found ed, It may be explained by the long continued prevalence of “yellow pulpit ism”. Frivolous minds, exercised on selecting odd themes and treating such themes in eccentric ways, can not by any possibility produce great sermons. • A real sermon is a most serious and sol emn thing; perhaps, it would not be too much to say that a real sermon is an awful thing. It is utterly beyond the conception of a clerical merry-andrew and quite out of reach of a pulpit I clown. Party Leaders Shower Victor With Telegrams (By Associated Press.) PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 9.—Tele grams by the hundreds piled up at the home of President-elect Wilson today. Congratulations came from Republicans. Progressives and Democrats alike.

From Governor Eugene Foss, of Massa chusetts: "Hearty congratulations on your vote. It is the most remarkable tribute ever paid to an American public official.

A sample of your Swamp-Root having been left at the house at the time, I resolved to try It, and as it agreed with her stomach, I continued using it, with grateful results. The in>- flammation began to subside after she had taken the first fifty-cent bottle, and after she took two large bottles she was pronounced cured by the doctor, and has been in good health The doctor came to see her every day and examined her every second day until he pronounced her kidneys In per fect condition. Now, then, the doctor was under the Impression that I was giving my girl his medicine, but as his medicine had failed to do a bit of and desiring not to offend him, I did not tell him I was giving her Sw’amp-Root, and he did not know the difference.
