whose serious illness has been reported, died
Sunday night at the age of 66-lacking only
three days. DIR. Chaplin was born in Wash

and after completing his studies, began
preaching in Richmond, Va In 1910 he re-
moved TO Charlestown, Mass. in 1916 to

where he has since been the successful pastor
of the Fourth Universalist church. In 1896
Dr. Chaplin received the degree of ID. ID.

discharge of his duties as pastor and preach
err. he has published several volumes, among
which are duties of Young Men," Duties
