Where Are the Great Preachers?
Does New York Know Her Own Pulpits?

This ?s the tenth in a series o)
Monday morning articles on the
well known preachers of New York.
They aim to answer the questions:
Wiiere are the great preachers?
Does Neiv York know her own pul?
pits or is the tradition lost?"
The articles will not attempt to
distinguish the great preachers or
to determine the greatest among
them. Their purpose is to present
the preachers as they present them?
selves. Readers must form their
( u~n conclusions.
The nine preceding articles have
portrayed Dr. Harry Emerson Fos
dick, preacher of the Old First
Presbyterian Church; Chaplain Her?
ibert Shipman, rector of the Church
of ths Heavenly Rest; the Rev. Dr.
Neivell Dwight Hillis, pastor of
Plymouth Churcli, of Brooklyn; the
Rev. r^r. William Laurence Sullivan,
of All Souls' Unitarian Church; the
Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, of the
Free Synagogue; the Right Rev.
David H. Greer, Bishop of the Epis
< opal Diocese of New York; the Rev.
Dr. Nehemiah Boynton, pastor of
the Clinton Avenue Congregational
Church, Brooklyn; the Rev. Dr.
Ernest M. Stires, rector of St.
Thomas's Episcopal Church, and the
Rev. Dr. Joseph Silverman, rabbi of
Temple Emanu-El. Next Monday's
article will deal with Dr. Felix Ad?
ler, of the Ethical Culture Society.
The "Skycraper Church" has many
exterior effects to suggest a house of
worship. But within?well, there is an
electric elevator; there are offices;
there are lounging rooms, and oven
living rooms. It is difficult to believe

tions laid by the apostles. Yet the
Broadway Tabernacle, at Fifty-sixth
Street, is not a "modern" ?hurch in the
broader sense of that term. In fact,
"modernism" finds no place in those
up-to-date ?walls.
A stern, puritanical pastor preside?
over the destines of the congregation.
Strangely enough, ho is the author of
the building's being. He is responsible
for grouping all the activities of the
church in a building so tall that there
is actual need of the electric elevator.
His features are clean-cut, thorough?
ly pastoral; his speech is careful, pre?
cise in intimate conversation almost to
the point of distraction; his manner
masterful. He is the embodiment of
Puritan tradition.
Pastor a Baseball Fan
In thoroughly modern surroundings,
he is a survival of the clays when the
pastors exercised a larger sweep of au?
thority than is their wont to-day. They
did it in those days because lordship
was the heritage of the pastor. He
does it to-day because they did it.
The pastor of the Broadway Taber?
nacle is the Rev. Dr. Chnrles Edward
Jefferson, who, with all his Puritan
impulses, is?a very enthusiastic base?
ball fan!
His church attracts enormous crowds.
In fact, it is one of the best attended
churches in the city.
The Tribune editorially has called
his pulpit utterances "lectures." Com?
menting on one of his sermons on war
this paper said: "All of the lecturer's
departures from this single thought
(military preparedness is perilous be?
cause of the effect it has upon the
hearts of nations) are only apparent,
He wanders at times, and at times ap?
pears to be approaching actual condi?
tions, but no sooner does he come in
contact with plain facts known to all
the world than he relapses again to a
consideration of the national heart,
and the importance of leaving it un?
disturbed.
Urged Conciliation in War
"It is a little difficult at times to
reconcile realities with Dr. Jefferson's
teachings, but apparently his aim is
to show that realities do not matter
If his theory is right the facts must be
made to fit, and if the facts will not fit
it then they must be dismissed from
our minds as unworthy nd more or
less disreputable."
Before America entered the war
before the war clouds broke at all?
Dr. Jefferson was one of the leaders
in the movement for internationa
conciliation. His addresses had e
wide appeal. Yet he had been clear
visioned enough to realize that event;
were shaping themselves toward e
period of great bloodshed. One of nis
most extensively quoted addresses was
upon tho plans for a 'naval holiday,' as
proposed by Winston Churchill. Dr.
Jefferson led his hearers upon a visit
to the parliamentary assemblies of the
world, accomfunied by a man from
Mars. He bad his hearers peer, with
their Martian companion, into the
meetings of one of The Hague confer?
ences. He had them watch the prep?
arations for the dawn of world pence
and had them hear the speeches in fa?
vor of disarmament.
Then he took his hearers and their
Martian companion to the British
House of Commons and to the
Relch?tag. In those legislative bodies
he had them witness the spectacle of
the same men that were participants
in the Peace Congress argue for na?
tional glorification. Finally he hnd
his hearers listen to a farewell
message of the Martian visitor, who
could not understand the duplicity of
this world, and who, to hide his confu?
sion, boarded a celcstinl expres3 for
1 his home in the other planet.
Dr. Jefferson Idealist
When America finally entered the
| war Dr. Jefferson readjusted his
I thinking to make the best of the sit
' nation. He visited many of the campa
I and cantonments and proclaimed to
i the soldiers his theory that the great
I war must be the last war. His audi
| enees in the camps were neither large
! nor particularly enthusiastic, and one
chaplain at a Southern camp during
; the National Guard mobilization felt
! impelled to take Dr. Jefferson's utter
i anees and dissect them.
There lias never been the slightest
doubt of Dr. Jefferson's sincerity. He
is an idealist, something of a dream?
er; yet in many things intensely prac?
tical.
In the work of building the great
edifice for the Broadway Tabernacle he
displayed a rare quality of executive
and administrative ability.
He is a real orator and is happy in
his possession of that rare quality,
magnetism.
His oratorical gifts were displayed in
his youth. He won first honors in a
State oratorical contest in the year of
his graduation, 1882, from Ohio Wes
leyan University. His triumph was a
great surprise, for he had been looked
upon by his college mates as inca?
pable of great warmth.
Was Destined for Law
He was destined for the law and had
actually entered law school when he
came under the influence of Bishop
PhillipB Brooks. Soon after meeting
that great t.reacher he severed his con?
nection witl, :he law school and entered
a theological seminary. While there
his oratorical gifts attracted such at?
tention that he was called, immediate?
ly after being graduated, to the Cen?
tral Congregationui Church, at Chel?
sea, Mass. There he did a great work
and when the Broadway Tabernacle
found that Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, of
Chicago, could not accept tho call to the
vacant pastorate, the membership
turned almost unanimously to Dr.
Jefferson.
On coming to New York he found a
church that was living almost wholly
in the past and that was stifling in a
neighborhood quite unfavorable to
growth.
He made certain demands, among

? ITTERED streets, uncovered gar?
bage cans, indiscriminate spitters,
and peddlers who sell unwrapped can?
dies and food from push carts are the
objects of a city-wide crusade now be?
ing pushed by the Merchants' Associa?
tion. The health of the community
and danger of tire have prompted the
association to take action. In the last
month IJ71 complaints were made.
In nearly every block in the city the
association has a designated block* cap?
tain, whose duty it is to enroll his
neighbors in the campaign for a clean?
er and healthier city. Fire under?
writers have indorsed the movement,
and the Health Department is lending
its aid.
The fire hazard is found chiefly be?
hind billboards and in basements. It
also is incroased by circulars tossed
into the street or behind fences.
them the acceptance of his plan for a
building that would meet the needs of
a great institutional church. All of
his demands were granted and, with
a three months' option clause in his
call, he began his pastorate. Neither
Dr. Jefferson nor the membership of
the Broadway Tabernacle has ever
thought of exercising the option to
sever relations.
The work is crowing under his hand
as it has grown throughout his whole
ministry here, which began in 1898.
Has Austere Appearance
As Dr. Jefferson is seated in the
pulpit he impresses-one as being aus?
tere, cold. But all this austerity dis?
appears when he lias begun his sermon.
He holds attention from start to fin?
ish?and this is quite a test of his
oratory, for he does not believe in I
short sermons. To him the sermon is
the chief feature of the service. The
music is rich, appealing; but it is sec?
ondary to the sermon or the service.
As he readjusted his thinking to
actual conditions, se he readjusted his
practice. His church has been one of
the most, active in its efforts to make ,
the soldiers in the city comfortable.
The church has conducted a canteen ?
and has attracted uniformed men by ?
the hundreds.
In one of the recent issues of the !
parish paper it was stated that 100,000 ?
men had been within the walls of the ;
church, attracted by the programme
for the soldiers and sailors. So grate
ful have the uniformed men been that
they are planning to put up a bronze ;
tablet to show their appreciation.
Says this same issue of the paper: I
"When the canteen finally closes, as i
close some day it must, there will be "
deep loneliness in our hearts, bright
aned, however, by pleasant memories
of the men who have eaten at our
tables and sunc around our niano."
Pastor Has Big Heart.
In a letter addressed to the "mem?
bers of the Broadway Tabernacle who
are still scattered abroad waiting for
the government to toll them to go
home," Dr. Jefferson says:
"We shall be ready for you. We
have already seen a wonderful parade
?but the parade T am waitinK for
with unusual impatience is the parade
of all of you down the Broadway
Tabernacle aisles to your pews. Then.
will be no arches like those erected
in Fifth Avenue, but there will be
arches in all our hearts, and while we
can promise no bands of music, we as?
sure you that there will Vie abundant
melody in our souls. We have not yet
begun the great drive for a hetter
New York, we are waiting until you
come home. Wc are laying up muni?
tions and perfecting our plans, and
we count on you te* teach us how to
go over the top. Several of our long
absent ones have already returned, and
their presence with us makes us all so
happy we are all the more eager to
have you here, too. If you look as
well as they do we shall feel that war
is a great picnic."
That letter somehow proclaims an?
other paradox. Behind the austerity
there is the heart of the old-fashioned
pastor, the man who lived among his
people, who shared their joys and sor?
rows.
Believes in His Church
However men may have differed from
Dr. Jefferson in his utterances, they
have been compelled to admit the ap?
peal of his heart qualities.
He has great faith in the future oi
the Church. He believes she has beer
the victim of much slander, but thai
she will emerge triumphant from bei
testing in the war.
In an article in "The Independent'
recently he said:
"These critics muy fool one another
but they cannot, fool the people. I:
the Church were half as petty and be?
nighted and bigoted and selfish and un
brotherly as sundry truth-loving met
assert it to be, how could so many mill?
ions of sensible Americans respect i
and love it? Calumny always seem?
about to win, but it never does. Go<
will not let it. The Church may bi
asleep, but it is surprising how it get:
on?it walks, as it were, in its sleep
Indeed, it leaps and runs. The Churcl
of to-day may be in a stato of deca
dence, but it is astonishing how mucl
ahead it is of the Church in any preced
ing epoch of the Christian era. It ma;
be dead, but it is astoundipg how ac
tive the corpse is. It is doing a thou
sand more things dead than it eve
tried to do in the days of its moa
abundant vitality. Being dead, it ye
speaks, and also acts as if it were alive
It may be negative and narrow an<
stupid, but have you noticed the slzi
of the Scheines which the churches ar
just now launching?"

Jugo-SIavs Have Benefit Concert
at Aeolian Hall and Folk?
songs Are Sung
The Jugo-Slavg had & "benefit yeater
, day afternoon at Aeolian Hall. There
were no Italians in the audience and
Fiume was not mentioned. The oc?
casion was peaceful and artistic. Be?
tween the 'wo parts of the programme
George G( -don Battle m3de an ad?
dress, in v hich he appealed for funds
to aid the war sufferers in the Jugo
Slavic countries.
The programme was replete with
folksongs, among them a Slovene drink?
ing song, admirably sung by Emilij
Blazevic, a barytone with an excellent
voice, and a group of modern Croatian
songs of Ruzi?, given by Nikola Zan,
i who also possessed a barytone voice of
fine quality. Then Obrod Djurin,
i tenor, sang a group of Serbian folk
I songs, ?and the Slovene Ladies' Tam
. burica Orchestra played a number of
I Jugo-Slav folksongs. The audience was
: not large, but its enthusiasm was in
1 fectious.
Xavier Dimarias gave a piano re?
cital in the evening at the Princess
? Theatre. He played Beethoven, Chopin
and Liszt in the manner familiarized
by the average piano student. A small
audience appeared to like "his playing.
Mine. Gaili-Curci Thrills
Crowd With French Songs
French songs, old and new, predomi?
nated in Mme. Galli-Curci's concert
last night at the Hippodrome. There
was lesa display of vocal agility and
greater emphasis upon the romantic
note than has been her wont. Some in
the audience may have come to hear
more runs and trills, but they should
have been compensated by the admir?
able singing of Debussy's "Romance"
and other modern songs.
Mme. Galli-Curci was assisted by
Samuel Berenguer, flutist, and by
Homer Samuels at the piano. The
audience was large, filling both audi?
torium and stage.
-
On the Screen
"Daddy Long-Legs,'" at Strand.
a Triumph for Mary
Pickford
If i here be any one who does not care ]
for America's sweetheart let him stay
away from the Strand this week, for
"Daddy Long-Legs" has more of Mary
Pickford in it than any picture which
she has done in recent years.
There is considerable of Marshall
Neilan in it, too. Mr. Neilan's direc?
tion is always an apparent and easily
recognizable thing. He has a way of,
allowing the story to go hang while
he introduces some quaint, humorous
scene which often is enoujrh to lift the ?
whole picture out of the mediocre. We i
strongly approve of Mr. Neilan and his
direction.
In the case of "Daddy Long-Legs" ;
he has introduced a long prologue (
showing Judy's life in the orphan !
asylum, which gives Mary a chance ?
to do all of the things which people
love to see her do. She drank apple?
jack and gave it to the other little
"orphans," and she dropped one of the
children down in the well and squirted
water on the visitors, and she hid
under the rugs.
We found this comedy too long,
though probably we stood alone, not
being exactly in a mood for it; and ]
sometimes the titles seemed to be
straining a bit hard for a comedy line.
As, for instance, when Judy asked one
two-year-old inmate- if he had a "tum?
my ache" and he replied "Ain't nothin'
in it to ache."
But it was amusing if a trifle bois?
terous and Judy kept her sense of
humor even after she got educated.
This part of the picture we liked the
best, but we wondered if there was
any one among the spectators who did
not know that Jarvis Pendleton was
"Daddy-Long-Legs." We were glad to
welcome back Mahlon Hamilton, not
having seen him on the scren since
he appeared with Petrova. He was
Daddy-Long-Legs and a very nice Daddy
he was, too. I
Marshall Neilan was seen as the

other lover, Jimroi? McBride. He
l walked on the screen looking about
eighteen years old, with wavy hair and
a dimple in his chin and all of the
other juvenile-lead attributes.
Percy Haswell interested us, too, not
so much for what she doe8 in this
picture as for what she has done in
the past. It is a charming and most
, amusing picture.
On the programme are also a Mack
\ Sennett comedy, "When Love Is Blind,"
i and the Strand Topical Review.
The overture is taken from Victor
; Herbert's '-Red Mill." Ann Rutledge
' sang the "Moonbeams" song. Redferne
: Hollinsbead sang "Like Stars Above"
and "You'll Find a Shamrock Blooming
Lin Every Irish Heart."
It is comedy week at the Rialto. and
Hugo Riesenfeld has made a wise se
: lection. One of the comedies which
| are shown is a Charles Chaplin, "The
, Cure." This is almost his funniest, and
j every one will remember it because it
I is of such recent vintage. More re
I cent than that of the liquor with which
| Charlie charged the springs at the re
' sort when he went to take the cure.
It has not the conventional happy
pending, for the hero loses his life, but
j apparently he dies with no regrets, for
I he has a sweet smile on his face as he
I sinks beneath the charged waters of
! the well.
The other comedy is "Harold, the
: Last of the Saxons," and it is the best
i one we ever have seen of Mr. and Mrs.
I Sidney Drew. It is complete and much
j more elaborate than any of their pre
I vious pictures. A speech was made, in
? which the management stated that it
! used the picture as a testimonial to the
| popular actor who had died so recently.
?Marguerite Clark in "Come Out of
the Kitehen" is the feature. The
, scenario is by Alice Beranger. and we
j liked it better than when we saw it in
I its stage form, possibly because we
like Marguerite Clark better than we
did Ruth Chatterton.
Another pleasant feature of the pict
? uro is the fact that Eugene. O'Brien
is the hero, Burton Crane. He has all
! of the bored aloofness which we are
! sure a man would possess who hires
; a fine old Southern home for the sea
' son and then demands that the colored
! servants be discharged and white ones
secured to till the vacant posts.
This is the way that Claudia Dain
gertield, owner of the estate, happened
to be acting as cook. The real cook
refused to live in the country and there
had to be a cook, of course.
Perhaps another reason why we liked
the silent version better was because
one was not compelled to listen to a
badly enunciated Irish accent. Even
the written words did not ring true,
and at one time sh? forgot her accent
entirely -when she was indignantly de?
nying the theft otf Cora's hat. Of
course, the story is a perfectly obvious
one, and any one could have supplied
the plot after the first reel, but it is
amusingly done and well directed. The
continuity is all that one could ask
for.
The overature is "The Merry Wives of
\\ incisor." that delightful opera, which
was produced only a montn before the
death of Nicolai, in 1849. Hugo Riesen?
feld conducted. Emanuel List sang l
"Down Deep Within the Cellar," and
there is a jester's dance arranged by
Adolph Bolni, with a special setting by ;
John Wengerr. The organ aolo is ;
"Album Leaf" in E, played by Arthur
Depew.
At the Broadway "The Unpardon- I
able Sin" is seen. '*Fires of Faith" is i
at the Harris. At the Rivoli, Norma
Talmadge plays a dual r?le in "The
New Moon." This will be reviewed to?
morrow. H. U.
Miss Morgan Engaged
To Lieul. C. E. Dodge
Mr. and Mrs. William Fellowes Mor?
gan, of 139 East Thirty-ninth Street,
announced last night the engagement
of their daughter, Pauline, to Lieuten?
ant Cleveland Earl Dodge. Lieutenant

land II. Dodge, of 90 Park Avenue. He
went to France about a year ago, and
served with the 304th Field Artillery
Regiment of the 77th Division.

W?lliam Fellowes Morgan, for sev?
eral years president of the Merchants'
Association, has taken an active part

Will Rogers, of the "Frolics." kas ar
! ranged for the publication of a series
of books by Harper & Bros. Some of
Will's '"wise cracks" are: "Grammar
and I get along like Russian and a
bathtub," "There are so many books
on the war that no two people will
have to read the same book," "The
thing that hurt the Kaiser worse tn.au
losing the war was that in all the
armistice terms they didn't even men?
tion his name," ?n'd "There w*s so
much argument about who was to go
to the peace conference, that Presi?
dent Wilson says I'll tell you what
'We will split 50-50; I will go and. you
fellows can stay.' "
Frank Bacon, star and co-author of
' LightninY' is striking out for the
lightweight golf championship of the
theatrical profession, and Frank swings
a wicked niblick.
His devotion to the game ia so ar?
dent that he resents the encroachment
nine performances of "Lightnin'"
make on his time every week. He ad?
mits defeating many stage golfers, but
thinks it safer and saner to withhold
their names.
