QUEER TITLES FOR SERMONS

That eccentric preacher, Lorenzo Dow, once preached to thoughtless young women who with their gorgeous bonnets had taken the highest seats in the room, from the text, “Topknot, Come Down.” One of the most brilliant preachers of a generation ago, now a “castaway,” preached to young people from the text, “Let Her Drive.” Several years ago a bright

preacher advertised to enlighten his people on Sunday morning by “Lessons from Croquet.” Last year it was “Lessons from Golf.” “Born too Late; the World Has the Start of Him,” is the form of an offer of enlightenment to young men. “A Love Song,” “A Love Adventure,” and “Lessons in Courtship,” of course attracted Instant attention.
