HONOR TO HIS MEMORY

HONOR TO HIS MEMORY.
 Loving Tribute Paid to the Late
 Bishop Brooks-He Was Not the
 Creature Of One Day or One Gem
 eration.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-People of all sects and creeds gathered at Carnegie Music hall to night to do honor to the memory of the late Phillips Brooks, bishop of Massachu- setts. The memorial services began at o'clock. An hour before that time the hall was crowded as never before. It became necessary to shut and lock the doors long before Rev. David H. Green, the chairman, announced the commencement of the serv- ices. On the platform were men prominent in church and in state, among them being Bishop Edward 0. Andrews, the Rev. Dr. George Alexander, ex-Mayor A. s. Hewitt, Eiwsrd King, Rev. Charles L. Thompson, Rev. Theodore 0. Williams, Frederick R. Coudert, the Rev. Father Ducey, the Rev. Dr. J. R. Day, Rabbi Gottneil, Rev. Rich ard s. Storrs and Rev. Lyman Abbott. The musical portion of the service was rendered by the chorus and the orchestra of the church choral society under the leadership of Richard Henry Warren. Af- ter Chopin's Funeral March prayer was of fered by the Rsv. Dr. Thompson, and the hymn "Jubilste Amen" was sweetly ren- dered by the choir. Rsv. Dr. Green in his opening address said:
 This Is indeed a unique occasion, seldom, if ever, has there been anything like it. We are not met here to celebrate the mem- r>f tad ofa great captain, but we are here to pay our loving tribute to the memory of one who, though personally unknown to many, YVES yet known by his work to all, one in whom living, we all rejoiced, one whom dead, We all mourn with 8 sense of great personal loss. The sense of that personal loss Is the unique feature of this gathering. He was brilliant and eloquent and gifted and he charmed us with these gifts His message was catholic; it WAS not provincial in its accent; it was message not for | some, but for all; 1t was always high, sl- l ways spiritual, always hopeful. In the death of Phillips Brooke Massachusetts has lost her bishop. the Episcopal church has lost its most distinguished son; American Christianity has lost its greatest preacher" | Letters of regret were read from Bishop Potter, who had been called to another part of the diocese, from Rev. Dr. Van l QykS, WHO spOkc OI Dlsuup DIOOhs hs shepard who laid down bis life for his flock, and President Low of Columbia, whose tribute was that Bishop Brooks "hsd been one of Gods prophets | Joteph H Choste, vho represe' ted tte Harvard club, spoke eloquently. He said: | "There is here 8 goodly array of ministers, Protestant and Catholic, Christian and Hebrew, to pay tribute to the memory of Bishop Brooks. His heart was large and broad enough to embrace them all. They honor themselves as well as h.s memory. Truly he was born great, but 8 greatness different from that achieved by some men.
 He was not the creature of one day or one generation"
