The Plight Of The Modem Evangelist Serious Situation Among Those Who Appealed To Emotional Stimulus. From The Columbus tGa.) En-' qulrer-Sun. I Under the above caption, the Macon Telegraph analyzes a com plaint made by Rev, Charles C. Patty, of Chattanooga, at the gen eral conference of evangelists of the Methodist church, south, in Memphis. Mr. Patty asserted that the lack of employment has creat ed a serious situation among the evangelists, and added: “Some thing must be done to enlist the sympathy of the bishops, presid ing elders and ministers to open the doors of the churches to us. Unlike the ministers with pastor ates, we are entirely dependent on our own resources, depending on infrequent calls from pastors for our daily bread.” Bishop Darlington, who was present at the conference and probably having in mind the pover ty and struggles of Christ and his disciples, replied that “the prime consideration of the minister is the saving of souls, and evangelists should subordinate the economic to the spiritual phase of their v.ork.” There was little comfort in Bishop Darlington's statement, and we venture to assert, it failed to take note of another phase of the evangelists’ plight — the pass ing of this type of exhorter. On this point the Macon Telegraph of fers an explanation wnich seems both true and logical. Says the Macon newspaper: "The plight of the evangelist is not hard to understand. He is be coming obsolete and does not real ize it. ft used to be customary when everybody in a church got ennui, including the pastor, to call INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY New York, December oth, 1928 I'he Board of Directors have declared a egular quarterly dividend of one am ihree-quarters per cent (1%%) on tl Jumulative 7% Preferred Stock of In L'ompanv, and a regular quarterly dir. .lend of one and one-half per cent 11 }*%) on the Cumulative 6c'n l’re (erred Stock of this Company, for th< current quarter, payable January la. 1*129, to holders of rec ord at the close ol business December 26, 1928.

Ladd, Jjj t Treat. in an outsider and have two weeks j of hell-fire and damnation prearh- , ing; two weeks of exhortation and' emotional stimulus. The adept evangelist knew his audience and j knew how to set in motion the mu-1 chlnery ; knew when to play the j soft music, and make the whisper- j ed plea. The world has grown away j from mechanistic religion. The re ligion of this day is made of stern- j er stuff. It must stand against its ! critics on intellectual, as well as j emotional grounds. Religion necces-1 sarily has to have emotion, but it j must be a higher type of emotion than is generated in the average, revival meeting. "The old revival served as a charger of jaded emotions; the new rival must serve as a charger, for the faith because its doctrine j for the fatlh because its doctrine, is reasonable. Because so many | revivalists have failed to adapt themselves to a changing worl they find themselves relegated me and more to the fringes rat In than to the center of religious ac tivity, and to those sections where emotion and ignorance still hold sway. “For concrete evidence of the decline of evangelism of the old form, witness the Gypsy Smith meetings in Macon. The 1916 meet ing shook the town; the 1927 meet ing hardly caused a ripple. It is not because the city is indifferent, but because it was offered a form of worship that it has discarded.” There have been outworn creeds, and there are undoubtedly out worn methods in creeds that are very much alive^,— methods that changing time and the diffusion of education have made obsolete. This applies to many things—the bom bastic, flutter-mill orator has pass ed off tlje stage; the telegraph op erator has made way for the auto matic typewriter; the horse retir ed in front of the onrush of the automobile; and the airplane has succeeded the sled in the Arctic ex ploration—changes in a changing civilization.

A motion picture signifies GEORGE WHITE action, whether it- be good. bad. or indifferent—but action. To watch and hear several players converse in hollow tones at great length is as boresome as seeing someone pre pare a baked potato for palate gratification.
