One of the most popular preachers in New
York is one whose name gets the least into the
papers, and one whom the general public knows
the least about. He never does anything sensa-
tional: perhaps that is the reason. But he does
a great many interesting things that are
widely. talked about among his large con-
gregation. Rev. Mr.. Rainsforth came down
here from Canada some two years ago,
and took possession of st. Georges Church, on
Stuyvesant square. The former rector of this
church was Rev. DR.. Tying; but DR.. Tying was
old and feeble, and his congregation fell off one
by one till, by the time Mr. Ransforth took pos
session. there were not TWO dozen people in the
church at Sunday services. Dr. Tying was re-
tired on handsome salary and Mr.. Rainsforth

Cambridge University and perfect type Of the

a very large man. who enjoys the best of health
To keep himself in this fine health, he is devoted
to all sorts of athletic exercises and it is told by
the policeman the beat that any morning,
before sunrise, Mr.. Rainsforth and his curates
may be seen running round Stuyvesant square
in their jerseys. After two or three runs around
the square. they have their bath and their break
fast, and are then ready for days work. The
church is open all day long, and there are serv-
ices every hour or so. weekdays and
Sundays The consequence is that instead
of beggarly array of empty pews that
used to be the rule at st. Georges, the sign

that change of administration would rather
help than harm them. and such seems to be the
case. For every Republican that leaves two Dem
ocrats will come The class of rich and idle
people who buy winter homes here will not be
affected by the change, and to them will be
added great number of rich Democrats drawn
by the attractions of their own party being in
power. 1t is true that the Cabinet officers will
give up their houses, but there will be Demo
Gratis ready to take them. Mr.. Frelinghuysen
has offered his house for sale. Secretary Lincoln
has given up the lease his. The others will
