Mann, the producer of "The Fighting Parson," from the pen of John A. Preston, offers something out of the usual rnn of melodrama.

The ignorance, poverty and prejudices he encounters would discourage a leu* de­ termined man and compel him to hnnt pastures less strenuous, bnt opposition seems only to arouse this yonng minister to greater efforts.
