DR.. Pentecost has preached Cor the
past two Sundays before the fremont
Temple congregation in Boston for he
pastor, Rev. DR.. George c. Loriner,
who is spending his va2tion IN Lon

Sundays at DR.. Pentscost's church
nr. Pentecost meanwhile is to occupy

| spending his vacation at his old home
ia Ireland. DR.. Pentecost has flied Dr..
JAhr Halls pulpit in this wav for three
or four years, as he prefers to spend

| The Marylebone church, of which Mr.
Ptntecost is the pastor, is located near
the junction Of May Fair ana Park
| Lane, not far from Rotten Row, ard
on the estate of the Duke of Portland
1t is in the famous west end quarter Of
| London, just off from Portland Square,
Which is the residence Of the Duke Of
| Fife, the son-in-law of the Prince Of
| Wales. Or. Pentecost said in an in
| rervew with a Waterbury Republican.
reporter, yesterday, that the church
was most cosmopolitan, being attended
alike "by dignitaries and chimney
| sWeC ns,'
DR.. Pentecost is a liberal in his polit-
ical sympathies and believes the pres
en- success of the Tories viii not be
lasting. 1t will tend to put ore the dis
establishment of the church in Scotland
and Wales. Speaking Of the liberals or
radicals, he said
'They will continue to gather force,
however, and there is practically no
doubt that the liberals will be finally
restored to power, and there is in my
own mind no doubt that the church
| of England itself will be disestablished
1 within the space of twenty-five years,
and that all church life will be put
| on an equal basis, the same as it is in
this country
| "In opposition to the liberals are the
tories. This party contains all the
ground landlords, brewers-in fact, all
representatives of the drinking interests
and monopolists of all kinds. The
liberals represent the growing radical
and democratic interests of the coun-
| try"
| DIR. Pentecost then said something
about the American community in Lon
don He said: st is estimated that
there are $4,000 resident Americans in
London. They are in every branch of
business and professional life. And the
| Pail Mall Gazette, one Of the leading
London journals, is now owned by an
american, William Waldorf Aston. And
1 might name over many big enter
| prises such as the Anglo-American Oil
company, which are controlled by Amer
| leans. One can walk down through OK
ford street. Holbourn, Regent street
and Piccadilly, which are the most
busily thronged streets of the worlds
metropolis, and see every year an in
creasing number of establishments and
shops which are run by Americans.
| 1.-THE most popular confectioner and
caterer in all London is Fuller, an
| American. He occupies much the same
place that men like Huyler and Mil
| lard do in New York and he is intro
ducing into England many of the popu-
| lar American corrections. And then
| take it among actresses and singers
Ellen Terry's principal understudy is
an American girl. Ada Rehan pleases
| the English immensely. Nine An
toinette Sterling, one of the greatest
contraltos in the world, and Nine. Belle
Cole, another great contralto, are both
Americans"
When asked something about the
Cornell crew DR.. Pentecost said that
the crew was very popular at Henley
up to the time of the race. He said
| that he was present and saw the fiasco.
He thought that although the criticisms
of the English press were at first very
severe, the American boys have been
fully exonArated from the charge of
ungentlemanly conduct.
But" said he, "the prejudice against
anything American is most intense both
among the common people and in the
press l think it is largely based on
ignorance 1t is hard for an English
man to believe anything good can come
out of this American Nazareth.
THE intense prejudice is due in large
part also to the class of Americans
who come over to England They are
very often the newly rich, and are loud
mouthed, Dragging and boasting as a
class. While on the other hand the
average Englishman is a modest. reti-
cent man. But upon the whole 1 think
the two countries are coming to know
each other better and 1 think that the
prejudice will gradually disappear"
