between tho Rev. DR.. Brady. pastor Of the
Franklin Street Methodist Church. Newark.
and the Rev. DR.. Grove. pastor OF the Univer-
salst Church Of the Redsemer. also Newark.
there RACES. and has been raging. and will
continue to rage. a fearful and. to tho lay
mind. theological and personal battle. the end
o. which no man can see 1t began away last
winter. and has been growing In heat and fury.
through fair and frowning weather. until all
RELIGIOUS Newark is agitated and alarmed.
The Rev. DIR. James Boyd Brady is man OF
most genial and kindly nature. His gray eyes
beam with love and gentleness and the gen.
eral benevolence Of his aspect is increased by
pair Of light brown. almost reddish. side
whiskers OF goodly length and body. and by
the comfortable proportions OF that which
covers his bones He has a mind enriched
with the retentions from largo and numerous
and most instructive books. and from adyen-
lures In all parts Of tho earth. But the Rev.
Dr. Brady loves his Bible and his creed be-
yond oil things He believes in tho Bible from
It's first word TO it's last. He believes that 1t was
inspired and that 1t was written much as II
stands.
Upon his inspired Bible no rests his hon"s OF
eternal salvation. and lie spends his iiie IN
trying to bring others Co the SAFETY anu com
fort OF his rock Of faith The chur'h OF "nieh
he lis pastor. the second Methodist church IN
age. is noted for its fonGness Tor the ancient
customs OF Methodism. It is called inc re.
yiyal church, because 1t believes in the good
old.fashioped exhortstion. in the wringing OF
hands over sin. and in the loud uplifting OF
the voice over conversion. Toward the latter
mart Of last winter Dr. Brady began series Of
revival meetings protracted meetings is the
technical term. Each night the faithful gath
ercd with such Of the unfaihtul or unbeliev-
,rcas could tie brought. and there was sing
Ing, rrayer. and eXhortatiou. followed by
Invitations TO come forward. to kneel at the
n,ouruel 5 bench. and 70 plead for new heart
and an awakened and enlivened faith.
As these meetings went on from week to
week their power increased. and the Franklin
street church enjoyed IL great spiritual re-
t,eshin:. pr. Brady and the elders and the
newly converted labored with the uncon-
verified in the back of the house. and knelt
with the convicted OF sin at the mourners
bench. At the end Of three months. when the
mc.,iuC> were brought to close. 800 souls
had been saved and the church had Nsen to
ls!ow Of religious zeal.
Only one thing marred the Joy Of DR.. Brady.
In .oiDs about through The crowded consre-
cation each night of meeting. he talked with
many who absolutely refused to listen to his
pleadin:s
We don't believe any OF that stuff" said
they. I'VE have got away beyond it. We
lave heeE 10 hear Dr. Grove and he shows us
that II IS all trash"
This creved DR.. Brady greatly. Hitherto he
had only known OF DR.. Grove in a general way
