in the profession, promised to give as good
bill as that presented last night all the
season round. The Funny Six" combi-
nation, from Tony Pastors Opera, New
York, gave the initial performance. Their
eccentric acting and superb singing
brought down the house. In addition to
the Funny Six," twenty or thirty other

REV, DIR. BELLOWS.
The Life work of n Distinguished
Diytnc CrCsesy.

Rev. Henry Whitney Bellows, whose
death in New York was announced in yes
terday's CRITIC, was born in Boston, juno
II, 1914, and was educated at Harvard and
the Divinity School in Cambridge, where
he completed his course in 1887. On the
Cd of January, 1885, he was ordained pastor
of the First Congregational Church latter
ward called All Souls Church, in New York
city, in which relation he continued up to
the time of his death, period of forty-two
years, He officiated for the last time on
the 18th inst, and on the 18th he was pres
ent at the Sloane-Robbins wedding in the
Church of the Saviour, in Brooklyn. He
was the chief originator of the Christian IN
quirer, Unitarian newspaper of New
York, in the year 1916.
In 1864 he received the degree of D. ID.
from Harvard University. OF his numer-
Gus pamphlets and published discourses,
the most conspicuous are his Phi Beta
Kappa Grafton in 1853, and his noted de-
fense of the drama in 1857, His occasional
contributions to the reviews, and especially
the Christian Examiner, are marked by in
dependence of thought and boldness of ex-
preston. In 1857 he delivered course of
lectures on the Treatment of Social Dis
eases" before the Lowell Institute, in
Boston, attracting much attention by his
vigorous remarks on many subjects Of deep
interest
In 1850 he published volume of SER
mons on "Christian Doctrine, and in
1859 tho account of an extended Eu
ropean journey, under the title of The
Old World in its New Face. :" During the
civil war he was the principal promoter
and first president of the United States
Sanitary Commission, which was of iu-
calculable service among the sick and
wounded Of the Union forces. DIR. Bellows
had long been troubled with chronic con-
stipation, induced by sedcntary pursuits.
About month ago he became ill., but got
over the first attack. A few days later n
second attack convinced the Doctor that
intestinal distinctions of serious nature
existed, which finally ended in his death.

Metropolitan M. Il. Church.

The meeting at the Metropolitan Metho-
most interesting of the series. The OPEN
ing prayer by the pastor was solemn and
impressive. The evening exhortation by
his assistant was appropriate. The sing
ing, led by the organist, was excellent in
deed. A profound degree ofsolemnity pre-
vailed throughout the congregation. The
venerable senior elder of the church deliv-
cred most excellent commOn-sensed, phil
osophical, and religious address, after
which several ladies came and knelt at the
railing for prayers-one of whom entered
joyously into the life of faith. The meet
ing will be continued through the week.
