SERRT PRAISES
ifrom his success, were made today by
Blthop Joseph F, Berry, head of the Con
rreas on Evangelism of the Methodist
Church In mis country, jvmong uie lea-
tures of such campaigns wmch the Bishop
mentioned as objectionable were, the
"knocking" of ministers during the early
week of tabernacle campaigns, the "vul
ir display of presents from the people,
tni wholly Inadequate provision for In
structing the converts and guiding them
ito a real heart experience of personal
MUiTfttlon."

tendency to take away from the pastor
fels evangelistic leadership and "the dis
position to discount the church building
Lla a centre of evangelistic activity and
L, magnify the tabrrnaclo shed" Is to bo
fteptored. Further, he objected to the
tendency l" ujiiiiiiciviauu HUB new
jnethod of tabernacle evangelism by many
tl the leaders.
I NOT ATTACKING "BILLY." '
f At the same time the Bishop Insisted
thst It be made plain that he was not
itucklng Ellly" Sunday personally, and
tirt ntt attacked him In Minnesota, as
had been "eported In press dispatches pub
lished throughout the country. It was
(or the purpose of setting himself straight
M regal ds these dispatches that Bishop
Berry consented to Issue a public state
ment of his present attitude on taber
MCle evangelism. He said that he wanted
r clearlv explained that he was not at
tacking persons but methods.
iThe Bishop declared his belief that the
Sunday campaign, conducted tn this city
kit winter, was of much value to tHe
tptrltual and civic Improvement of this
community. He said, "Billy" Sunday waa
the greatest reformer In the country, and
that great good was bound to come to
iny part of the country In which he
labored But, he said, better .results
would come through a change of methods.
Regarding the news reports that the
Blthop attacked Sunday, Bishop Berry
Hid.
The press dlspatc was a blundering
sjTalr. I made no attacks upon Mr. Sun
day, and said none of the things they
reported me to have said. I was deliv
ering series of addresses on 'Pastoral
Evangelism' at the Minnesota Confer
ence, and In one of these I deprecated
the grov lnjf tendency to take away from
the pastor his evangelistic leadership.
If "I also expressed regret that there Is
l growing disposition to discount the
church building as a centre of evangel
istic activity and to, magnify the taber
pacle or shed.. I expresed my confidence
In tho sincerity nnd- devotion of Mr.
Sunday, and repeated that the usefulness
of Jils work was modified by certain ob
jectionable features which now seem to
be Inseparable from all this tabernacle
evangelism.
b "Of these features I specified the habjt
of evangelists, during the first "weeks of
Ithelr campaigns, of 'knocking' ministers
and churches, the reception In public and
(Jhe ulgar display of presentB from tho
Ipeople, and the wholly Inadequate pio
,lilon for Instructing tho converts and
Eilldlng them Into a real heart experience
fil perronal salvation "
f In explanation of his feeling toward tho
commercialization of tabernacle evangel
Isnv Bishop Berry continued:
l "I expressed sincere "regret that i this
f new method of tabernacle evangelism war.
DMiig commercialized by many of Ito
leaders, and cited some Instances of this
which were startling and deplorable."
GAmong the Instances the. Bishop said
ike had cited were those of an evangelist
who had offered a minister $50 com mis
ton on each campaign he "arranged In
churches in his conference, of another
yho offered a minister 10 per cent, of
Ms tabernacle thank offerings, and of
the growing tendency of young men to
HGOme tAhrnnnlA AirntifrAllot- -,L-..
'M Ifian paqtors of churdhes. He asserted
ffM ft&t it was rilfflrlilt fn ct un.inw .. tn
lecome regular ministers because of the:
iwmmerciai lure or evangelism, and that
p bejieted there were enough evangelism
n oi me lanernacie class, and the
wrenes or nta denomination would be
r better off If no more of them became
bernacle preachers at this time.
"In the address referred to I criticised

makes the daily
shave a picnic
First, there's a good, healthy
lather that doesn't fade away
on the right side before the left
is scraped. Then somehow the
tazor always seems just a little
sharper when it's slipping
through a lather of Resinoi
Shaving Stick.
But better still is the way it
speeds up tho shave by cutting
out "soothing" applications and
tedious steaming and soaking
your face simply doesn't need
them, because the Resinoi medi

impossible.

RICHMOND'S FOES
SCORE IN TRIAL
Deposed Vestryman Testifies
Rector Scorned Members of
Girls' Friendly Society
The Rev George Chalmers Richmond
told members of the Girls' Friendly So
ciety of St John's Episcopal Church at
a fleeting In 1312 to "clear out," and ac
cusefl them of associating with men of
questionable character, according to the
testimony today of Charles A. Brown,
deposed estryman, at the Richmond ec
clrslnstlcal trial.
This jlolnt was the only new evidence
brought out by Mr Brown, who has been
on the wlthess stand for three days
PreMoUfc efTorts to hae him tell of al
leged convcrsatlonc with Mr. Richmond
have been futile. The prosecution won
a victory on that point today.
Mr. Brown teatlricd that he asked Mr.
Richmond In 1912 If he had not told mem
bers of tho girls' society that they were
"unfit to be In tho church," that they
were "girls of the streets" and "asso
ciating with men of questionable char
acter." "Mr. Richmond's answer," said Brown,
"was "Yes. Charles, I did say that. That
la bo,' "
Mr. Brown's testimony today was un
der the cross-examination of the prosecu
tion Most of tho time of the ecclesiastical
court was taken up listening to discus
sions and arguments on the points of
the testimony. Technical objections
wero inlscd to every bit of evidence of
fered by one side or another. Mr. Rich
mond seemed to be deeply amused over
the long arguments
It was brought out that St. John's
Church really received $300 left to It In a
will There hnd been some question
about the receipt until today, when the
pnpers showing It were produced.
