{{Style S-Small capitals|The}} Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, U. S. A., is not a minister, although he posts himself as such on his show-bills that are displayed on the hoardings of the cities he visits. He travels with an agent who transacts his business for him, the same as the agent of a theatrical star. He is designated by his admirers as “the Great Champion of Orthodoxy,” but by those who look beyond the surface of things, who have followed him in his career, he is seen as “the Destroyer and Distorter of Christianity.” He became popular a few years ago in Boston, U. S. A., by the delivery of a series of lectures given at noon every Monday. His popularity in Boston was not of long duration. He afterwards crossed to England, where he delivered a course of lectures, or read them from a book, or delivered them from memory, where they have become stereotyped by constant repetition. Even as the theatrical star plays only a certain numbers of play, so also does Joseph Cook deliver only a certain number of lectures, and confines himself within a certain boundary, from which he never steps forth. As the Rev. Joseph never fails to impress upon his audiences a most pleasing and brilliant picture of himself and his career, perhaps it will be well for us to take a glance at the reverse side of this pleasant picture, and see what is said about him by the people and press who have not such a personal interest in his work as himself and his orthodox admirers. | {{Style S-Small capitals|The}} Rev.
