Our Schools.

We are now closing one of the most pros
known. 1t is our claim that no town In the
Mississippi valley has more, or better, or
more prosperous schools than we. Four are
maintained by the city. They are taught by
our own people, and are managed to the salts
faction of the community. We all regret that
they could not be kept open for the full term.
Our Male Academy has made q great stride,
and will probably show in its catalogue an
enrolment Of eighty. Beside u or two
small schools, there are five church schools.
The Catholic, Episcopal, Methodist, Presby-
teriRn and Baptist. The last three have
boarding departments, and are our special
pride.
The Central Female College, under the
management Of Mr.. Kerdolf, ia undoubtedly
In better condition and doing more efficient
work than it has ever done. There seems q
bright future before this institution. Let US
oil work that it may be realized. The Bap.
tist Female College gave m entertainment, &
few weeks since, which showed that 1t Is do.
ing most excellent work. The f. Aull Semi.
nary has the largest enrolment 1t has ever
enjoyed, and maintains it, standard fol
thoroughness.
One plain word now to the whole commun'
ity. These are all our schools. While We
have u preferences among them, they art
all ours against all that are outside. Il so
let US work together for them. Let not the
friends of one school decry the others or take
up and repeat a scandal. Let US curb every
thing like misbehavior on the part our boys
| This may seem q tribe. But 1t Is more serioui
in its possibilities than some of US suppose.
II we wish to maintain the prosperity of oul
female colleges. the young ladies there gath
cred must not be annoyed.at church, on tn
street, or at their school houses by the boy
and young men Of the place. Parents an
public sentiment, and If necessary, the police
must prevent this.

THE BROADWAY TABERNACLE.

WHAT DR.. TAYLOR'S PARISH IS DOING
ITS GROWTH FROM SMALL FREE CHURCH To ITS
PRESENT INFLUENTIAL POsrTIoN-DETAHs OF
IT'S WORK.
On the east side Of the square formed by the in
tersection of Broadway, SiXth-ave. and Thirty
fourth-st. stands the well-known Broadway Taber-
nacle, whose congregation has grown in less
than ifty-three years from a mere handful OF wor-
shippers to one OF the largest most influential and
most energetic church organizations in this city.
Beginning at the time Of the first free church
movement in New York, it vent steadily forward
under different names, in various houses OF wor-
ship, with different pastors, first as Tree church
next az a Presbyterian Church. and finally, rs now,
Congregational society, until it has attained its
present position of power in every department OF
rell yOus work.
Tie Gr3t free church was formed at Dey and
Washington sls in 1880 by Lewis Tappan and
few Others. Two years later a small number of the
Dey Street Church people united with others in OBJ
tairing the old Chatham Theatre as place OF
worship aud called the Rev. Charles G.. Finpey as
their pastor. For four years Mr.. Finney preached
in the theatre, many times to congregations of
$500 people
r. 1885 the famous Broadway Tabernacle was
finished on the east side of Broadway between
Leonard and WoIth-sts. The building and
grounds cost 5000. The audience-room was 100
fees square with a capaclouS gallery all Its sides.
and had seats for 5000 persons. IL was built
chiefly as place of worship but it was also used
for the May festivals and large public meetings In
the twcnty-one years of its existence 1t became
famous throughout the country on account of the
great public gatherings within its walls. The
building was first occupied a church by MIR.
Finncy and part of the Chatham Theatre congre-
tt,o oC La, -
THIS society was in the main Congregational. Mr.
Fmney remained as pastor Of the church about
year, aud in 1885 colony from the First Free
Church came to the Tabernacle. The Rev. joel
Parker was made pastor and for two years the
church belonged to the Presbyterian denomination.
AZ the end OF that sine mortgage was about to
be foreclosed and the church was bought by David
Hale, 4 member Of the congregation and the editor
OF The Journal Of Commerce, for 3l,3G3.
