ut Is strange how small thing win,

said q minister connected with Trinity:

vertiser reporter, but the in
which a young clergyman sprang into
prominence was truly remarkable. ind
now he is rector of one Of the leading
Episcopal churches in Orange As
soon as he left college, he being an
active man und the champion athlete of
his college. he set right down to hard
work. He had for his first charge q
small East side mission, which q
like 4 ray Of sunshine among the dark,
murky tenement houses. Some young
men who attended the mission belonged
10 an athletic club. and, Us their min
lister entered into all their social affairs
with vim. it was rot hong before he re-
ceived an invitation TO attend o scrap
lie went, and before he left he boxed
with some of the lads in the club and
beat them all. The clubs best boxer
was absent then, but the members ex.
tracted a promise from the young min
lister that he would go around and spar
with their star man. The only stakes
was q promise that If the clergyman
lost he should become a member OF
the club, which was Offset by n promise
that if he won all the members of the.
organization would attend the church
Tor a month The night of the light
came round, ard there vas q large
crowd of East side sports who went to
see the parson licked. Three rounds
were sufficient to prove that muscular
Christianity. represented by the minis.
ter. was victorious. The result was
that the men of the sporting club paid
their bets by going 70 church regularly.
Many OF them go now. and the church
Is q hourishing one"

1892. aged about iifty-two years. The
deceased was an old and highly e.
teemed citizen. lie was known 10
