clergyman preach. The Colonel wanted him
to make eloquent and impetuous pleas befors

ject which happens to hold him for the mo-
ment is remarkable. Literally thousands OF
people remember him as the most eloquent
aud forcible preacher In Brooklyn Of his years.
and the surprise occasioned By his sudden re-
tirement from the Baptist denomination arose
to the size OF sensation. For time he threw
himself into the Henry George movement In
New Jersey. with the same violent and per-
sistent enthusiasm which characterized his
preaching in Brooklyn. In the course OF a few
weeks he had half the State by the ears and his
addresses to the general public throughout
the state established his fame ns an unusually
powerful plsader. Men OF this stamp are al
