GENERAL READING IS RECOMMENDED A Tew of the I'romliiont I'Mlori of Omnlm Trll How Tlirjr 1'rcpnro lliclr IMilpIt lUicoiimcd Oca- criil Clitirch Now * . Do people who occupy church pews over wonder bow long it takes the minister to prepare 1m Sabbatn morning sermon ! Do they ever speculate , mcntnlly , upon the jours of study nnd lho days of general read ing that n flno sermon bas costl These nro thoughts that tnny well claim tno considera tion of every thoughtful and Intelligent church Boor. A very peed story is told of Henry Ward llccchor , that is called to mind by the remark mndo by Kov. W. U. Mackoy in this column. As the story nms Mr. Dcocbcr was rusticating ono summer in n.i out-of-thc-wny place nnd ho attended n rural church without making known to tbo nudl- once his Identity. The youcg ranmtor ' who filled the pulpit delivered a fervent - vent discourse that appeared to Jill the entire nudionco with admiration for hli eloquence nud profound sclioiarshlp. At the close of the services Mr. Beochor asked the young man how long It took him to prepare the sermon ho had delivered , with an air of great Intellectual superiority the young minister said ! "Oh , nbout three days. " "IS thotsoJ" remarked Mr. Becchor. "It took mo nearly twenty years wnon I prepared - pared that sermon. " Hero is Dr. W. J. Harshn's plan of preparing - paring hi * excellentsotmons : It has been ray custom ninco ray college days to kcop a series of what are Known as 'Commonplace Books : ' but I keep thorn on a plan of my own. A text or theme that strikes me as significant or useful 1 put at the top of the pnso , mid tbon us I road dur ing tbo xviiok 1 note down any thoughts or aupgcstlons , poetry or illustrations that maybe bo broucht to ray attention. In that way I am working on 200 or aoo sermons at once. When the time comes to select them 1 usually Imvo n great mass of material from which my only trouble is to eliminate the bad and preserve the good. My morning sermon 1 go over rarefully with pen in hand writing down full notes , tbon 1 dtctnto it to a stenog rapher and rood it from the type-written copy , Mv evening sermon I deliver without notes. The Ideal method I bellovo to be , to write out the bcrmon in full , then road lho manuscript over carefully several tiraos , then throwing It nwav and standing up in the strength of the spirit of God , preach the rjuro gospel out of a sincere and honest heart. WII.I.UM J. HAKMIA. " Kev. P. S. Merrill of the first Methodist church has the reputation of being a fluent and ofTcctlvoYponkor without notes. lioro is what ho has to say about bis method of sermon building : "I sometimes have a subject nnd tbon find B text to suit it ; generally I start vrltk some text The lint work is to analyze it and make an outline. Then 1 road all within my roach bearing upon the different divisions of truth. This is done , when I bnvo my way , early in thu xvcoU. After that I ponder on thoHUbJocts in baud. I never xvroto npcT- snon to proucb. I make an outline contain ing less words than I hero xvrlte. I gather only subject matter before hand and depend on the moment for words. P. S. MEIUHI.U" Rov. A. J. Turkic , pastor of the Kountzo Memorial Lutheran church , is ono of the most interesting speakers among tboyoungor paitors of tbo city. Ho gives bis Ideas upon the subject of preparing sermons In the fol lowing words : "in answer to your question , How do I prepare my sermons ! 1 shall say nothing of the previous acquisition or knowledge both blbllc.il nnd general. That Is essential. But when 1 am ready to prepare taj sermon 1 must , bo In my study , at my desk and pen in band. Sometimes I then select a text and work out my sermon , foraging lu literature and experience for facts to Illustrate tbo truth. Again I want to present a certain subject und select a passage of scripture fore o text that will help to olucldatonnd enforce. But I nearly always xvrlto out my sermon in full. I never rely on inspiration in the pul- Elt. I bcllovo In Inspirations most heartily ; ut 1 believe they coma to these who work on the preparation not to these \\ho shirk. A. J. TUIIKLE. " Kov. T. J. Mackoy , rector of All Saints Episcopal church is a very effective and on ergotlc pulpit orator. Ho says : "I keep a commonplace boon lu which I Jot down thoughts as they occur to mo upon all sorts or subject * . I keep adding to this stock of > random thoughts , kooplnc them arranged under proper heads , until I hnvo the frame vrork for a number of discourses. In this \vay I am always accumulating materinlupon a wide rungn of themes , and when I take ono up for development I often find moro in It than I at flrst imagine. I rrad every good thing I can got hold of bearing upon tbo sub jects I take up for consideration. T. J. MACKcr. " Rov. W , R. Mnckoy of Pittsburg , brother of Rov. T. J. Mackoy of this city , has boon holding a mission at All Saints Episcopal church during the past week. His many ex cellent sermons during tbo past week have boon board by largo audiences and have created atod a deep impression. Hov. Mackoy is a scholarly and aggressive ttjlnkor and his style of oratory is forceful and direct. Ha deals with a great many practical problems that arn eschewed by the majority of minis- tore. Speaking of the length of time bo usually spent in preparing a sermon , ho said : "If you ask mo how long it takes to prepare my sermons T will sny thirty years. Every thing that has helped to rouko mo helps to maKe my sermons. My sermons are the re sult of thirty yours of growth. It would bo impossible to state Just where and when 1 acquire this or that element of my dis courses. Sermon building 1st man building. It Is tbo result of progress along Intellectual " "v pod spiritual lines. " / Among Kollglous Workers.

Ho preached a sermon Sunday before last en titled , "Poops Into Holt ; the Dark Sldo of San Francisco , " in which ho gave n terrible , though true , picture of the nelhtr sldo of llfo in Sun Francisco. "San Francisco is wicked , rotten , " writes a correspondent. "Thoro are good people in it , virtuous , high- minded , homo-making , duty-doing people , but the mass is mndo up of small-brained , selfish , monoy-at-nny-cost creatures. The muss drinks a great deal , gambles , cheats , swears and is thoroughly Vila In short , San Francisco is an average product os our Christian civilization. Ono of the particu lars in which it is conspicuously Inferior to most other cities , however , is tbo intellectual poverty of ils pulpit. Wo have not even ono preacher whoso name is known outside of the state , or whoso abilities would fit him In secular life for higher duties than counter- Jumping or persuading others of the laity to insure Iheir lives.

There is no doubt that "Sinbad" is a su perb sconlo display. Its most striking scenes are the port of Balsora at daybreak , tbo dock of a pirate ship , a tableau repre senting tbo ocean depths , a cannibal island , the frozen valley of diamonds , Sinbad's pal ace and the transportation scene , "The Morning of Lifo"roportod to bo a most mag nificent scenic picture. "binbad" has two trrand pageants , "Tho Winter Ballet , " led by three premier dancers , and "Tho Wedding Procession , " a march of 100 people attired in lho costumes of dtftorant nations. The piece is full of catchy music , the most talcing songs being "The Bogle Man , " "I haven't Got it Now , " 'Thcro are Moments Wbon Ono Wants to bo Alone , " "That's What the Wild Waves nro Saying. " and " a parody on "Maggie Murphy's Homo.

The special feature of the performance is tno woi.dcrful dancing of the famous English twins , "Tho Sisters Leigh , " wboso specialty called the "Delusion Dance" bas excited much comment throughout the countrv nnd is conceded to bo a most wonderful per formance in the dancing lino.

Mr. Conrled wanted something novel-different from tbo general run of comic operas and tbo idea struck him that ono with an Ameri can subject , devoid of the picturesque and gorgeous costuming , which is considered the necessary adjunct of comic oporu , would take In America. No sooner said than done , and "Poor Jonathan" was the outcome. Either Carl Mllloeckcr became very much Ameri canized or Mr. Conrled convoyed to biro bis idea in very complete form , for it must bo admitted that the production is thoroughly permeated with the ilavor of Americanism.
