10 tie Eaisor q The Tribune.
BRooELTS. Feb. 81 had All interview with
the Rev. Charles Hall Everest, who next Sab
bath morning will occupy the pulpit o1
Plymouth Church IL your city.
Imet Mr.. Everest on the front steps Of bis
elegant brown-stone1ront residence, he ascend.

7uug The door bell
In private life Mr.. Everest has very little o1
the ministerial look he is probably in the
neighborhood OF Is years Of ace, and has we'll
propoEtioned figure, which, however, is not dis
played to any advantage by the 1oose-ftting cut
away coat which he wears hahltral}y when in
the pulpit. Mr.. Everest is about six feet IN
height, and is us straight as an arrow. His
hair, which is slightly tinsed with gray, is worn
long, aud curls slightly at the end His eyes
are Of deep hazel color, and when in
close conversation With him j sligbE
cast may be observed in one Of
them. This, however, iar from being Il
defect, rather adds charm OF cunning to his
expression which is not disp1easing. His mouth,
which is Of good size though not Large, is
concealed by lcary, dark-brown mustache,
and this manly appendage, though it adds
eolnewllat to his appearance, hides the pleasant
smile which is Que Of the chief attractions OF the
man:
To talk with man like the new pastor OF
Plymouth for any length OF time cannot but
make ouc feel brighter, for never met man
who had stronger, brighter faith, and i more
concise aud cheering way Of speaking Of trouble
ana tr;als.
Opening the door after = hearty band-5hake,
