But that course would be as fair as it is to place all theaters, all actresses, all actors, and all plays upon the same degraded level as the low saloons and halls which our municipal govern- ments license as theaters and permit to exist amonu; us ! The trouble with too many occupants of our pulpits is that their view of life is in- 38 THE PRESS, THE PULPIT, variably gloomy. Unlike the poet, the preacher is made, not born, and too many are made in the same mould. You can tell them as far as you... can see them, and frequently you can recognize them in the dark by the intonation of the voice. They ask you to be joyful with a countenance that looks like a cloudy day and in a voice that leaves you in doubt as to just where their pain is located. When they say, " let us pray, " it is with a manner calculated to remind you of hard work which must be done, or implying anger at the good Lord for having inflicted the bur- den of life upon their hearers. There are just about exceptions enough to prove the rule, and they are refreshing when found.
