He Is st. Paul'S First Pastor, and
the Church Is the First Charge
of a Young and Very Eloquent
Divine.

Rev. StowellL. Bryant, but recently gradu
ated, began his first regular pastorate yes
terday at st. PauTs NJ. f. Church. Be
ginning at the same time the congregation
listened TO it's first regular pastor.
The organization of this denomination
was made less than a year ago, and mp
to this time has been not under a regu
lar pastorate, but with services conducted
by supplies
Bishop Hurst was in the pulpit with Mr.
Bryant yesterday, but took no part other
than the remainder of the Congregation in
The services except TO perform the formal
ity, which was very gracefully done, of
introducing the young pastor to his young,
butnumerous congregation.
Mr.. Bryant took his text from John xx:21
-" Touch me not for am not yet ascended
10 my Father, but say unto them, ascend
unto my Father, and your Father, and to
my God and your God
Beginning with various narratives OF
Jesus the pastor gave III its true sense a
gospel Sermon based upon the theme
OF the personal supplicationS of the Chris
tian TO God, and that the idea of these
narratives, with the same principles as
expressed in Jesus talk with many that
is given i'll the text, must be d portion or
every one who expects the divine blessings
OF salvation.
He applied the story of the prCdigal
son to show that the same relations eXt
isted bet ween God and man as between
father and son, and that individual pra yer
is necessary in the same manner to receive
the pardoDS and blessings which result
from penitence and confession OF sins.
There can be no real successful Chris
tian life Wit thout close personal relation
with God, for he is not q GCd of a
particular section or of a particular sect,
that there must be no peSsimism, but
indelibly must the conviction be stamped
ON every heart that the church does not
make us, but by our individual relations
with personal God are the seeds OF sal
vation strewn abroad
1t is the individual that Christ desires.
He leaves the church TO find the repenta mt
soul imploring forgiveness, as the shepherd
of the parable leaves his ninctieth and ninth
to find the sheep that has wandered from
the folds.
A personal communion with God and
personal righteousness before men are the
necessary elements of salvation.
He says we need something more than
legislation, as it works from without, while
the present need is something working from
within. The church is failing to accomplish
some ofitSevident work because the personal
relation with God and individual action
is not made. We should stand before God
stripped OF everything but our individual
righteousness.

CROWS THAwED OUT.
Frozen TO Death, But Revived in the
Heat OF the Kitchen.
Chfrnrn Rccn..H

A very curious incident of the recent cold
weather a Niagara Fails has come TO light
distancing ali stories regarding the mer-
curry freezing in thermometers and Of the
hen being frozen stiff on her nest Just as
she was about to lay her egg. This one,
in the New York J ournal. is in regard to
some crows.
The Niagara gorge this winter has been
infested with these birds in large number.
They usually go South. but this winter they
decided to hibernate in the gorge, where
they fly about, picking up whatever they
can, and at night roosting in the pine
trees and evergrcens. Their uncanny
cries are heard at all times. and frequently
they indulge in noisy and fierce fights,
and not a few have been killed. IT is
estimated that there are close TO a million
OF these black fellows up and down the
length of the gorge, covering about three
to four miles.
On the night of the blizzard the cold
in the gorge was intense. The wind
swept down there with a fearful force.
The severity of the weather may be UNDER
stood when it is known that the running
water over the mighty. cataract actually
froZe. and when morning broke 1t was
discovered that no water was flowing
over the Luna Island Fail, and access
to the Cave of Winds could be had.
Down on the bridge was wilne essed a
peculiar sight. Some OF the old river men
disccrncd Il number OF black objects, and
on closer inspection with the field gla IS
these objects seem to be birds. Jack
McCIoy and John Barlow made a trip
down on the bridge and picked up a number r
of crows, for such the birds had proven to
lie, and concluded that they had frozen to
death. The crows appeared to be ifeless,
and the men brought up several frozen
crows as proof OF how cold it had been
that night.
Barlow left his crows in warm place in
his kitchen for n short time, and some time
later was surprised to hear lively cawing
a1.l fluttering Of wings. He went out to
the Kitchen and there found that the crows
had revived and were as lively as ever.
Many other black beauties were found
under the trees, where they had roasted
during the night, aud many, no doubt,
dropped into the river and were swept
down through the rapids 10 the lower river.

his new charge at Trinity ". E. Church.
on Fourth street southeast. There was a
goOd-siZtd audience in the pews when
he arose TO speak, and his sermon obtained
close att ention.
His theme was the Pursuit of Happi-
ness There was a suggestion of the
coming Easteriidc in the modest decora-
tions of he pulpit, a cluster of yellow
and white flowers being placed on either
side Of the sacred desk, and pouted plants
adorned the space next the walls.
7 he pastors text was quoted from
Lamentat ions. iii. "a: The Lord is my
portion, saith my soul; therefore will l
hope in Him.
DR.. Hobbs said that happiness is mans
chief pursuit. God has so constituted the
soul that nothing short OF happiness can
satisfy its immortal longings.
There is no such thing as happiness
without some object in view to produce
it. 1t is an effect, and must have it's
producing cause"
Reviewing two classes of persons, whose
modes in searching for real pleasure he con-
trasted, his attention was first given to
those who traverse channels leading TO
earthly bliss.
Many persons be said. ''make long
voyages, Others again eXpeDd large for
tunes in quest of such happiness as the
world affords, while not a few place
life itself in jeopardy in their pursuit.
The speaker added that there are two
propositions made plain in the contrast
ing of mcthods-first, that those who go
in the channels first named bad sought,
and VIII ever seek, in vain; second, that
true happiness is found only in the re
ligion OF the Lord Jesus Christ.
He warned young men and women gainst
depending for happiness upon the pleasures
to be found in he ballroom, and said if
he who did so would retire TO his private
apartment and mediate before God upon
his actions he would be led 10 exclaim:
80, wretched man that l am, who shall
deliver me?''
The prodigal son was at last reduced
10 vocation which, to a Jewish koul
was most repugnant, land how many
there are said DR.. Hobbs, who, like
him. have met with grievous disappoiBt-
ment.''
Others said the speaker, 'seek hap.
piness through the honors of this world
history and experience show that the
more honors you confer upon a man the
further you drive him from Cod
Examples were cited to Illustrate this
point. and Agrippa, the Jewish ruler,
named in the Bible: Alexander. who went
=
to conquer. and Napoleon, OF France, who
achieved earthly renown only to drag
out miserable existence at ST. elena.
and finally to die from the effects of
drugged liquors, were included in the
list.
Earthly hopors avail nothing said
DR.. Hobbs: mo degree of worldly honor
can constitute true happiness. Gold
corrodes and silver cankers in the human
soul.
Vain man may boast of his gold his
broad acres. his white-winged vessels
but these cannot endure
The apostle Paul was named as an eX-
emplar of the true idea. That religion

When the Boston Symphony Orchestra

return 10 Boston on a special train, which

Nobody around the station had seen any

REV. W. G. CASSARD
ARD REV G. W. LEECH REV. S. l. BRYANT
He Told the Twelfth Street Congre-
cation That the Duty of Christians
Was to Spread the Belief Through
out the World.

Rev. w, q. Cassard, formerly OF McKendrec
Church, Baltimore, preached his initial
sermon yesterday morning at Twelfth Street
Methodist Church, where he has been called
10 succeed Rev. john NJ. Slarrow, for two
years pastor OF that congregation. He'was
greeted by large congregation.
Thenew pastor chose his te Xt from Romans
1:Xiv: Il am debtor both Of the Greeks
and barbarians; both to the wise and the
unwise." There was j human basis for
Paul's Indebtedness, he began. 1t was a
growth OF what Paul was, of what he knew
and of what he saw that Others possessed.
But Paul had highc. grounds or indebted
ness. continued the speaker, Paul was
Christian, and had had a vision OF the
brotherhood OF man ana OF the workings
OF the law OF individual sacrifice for uni
Versal good.
There are Paul's today. God has honor
ed this land nightly. How wide have
been the benefations of the true and. good
man. SO true is this law that there are
enough Christians, if all were filled with
the power, To take the world for Christ in
a single decade.
IF the Greeks and barbarians are ever
TO embrace Pauls Christ, then Paul must
recognize the debt he owes them and bring
them TO Christ.
Will be necessary that we recognize the debt
ne owe to them and carry our Saviour 10
them. We may picture the Vilest sinner
ina ginable and yet he is not too low for
us to carry Jesus to him in order TO bring
about his salvation. If we are superior
10 hIm ali the thanks are due TO the blessed
Christ, who can as easily save him and
raise. him to our own level. Oh, brother,
stop living self alone and try TO live Christ
The discharge of this debt that lies i'll
MS a it did i'll Paul is the principle that
allies us with God. The devil can easily
he selfish. but it is God alone that in
spires usefulness. This virtue is a lead
ing divine characteristic and has more
promise of divine power than any other
grace. Let US ever remember that 1t is
more blessed to give than TO receive
when this debt Chri stians owe is
paid, the heather, the barbarian, the in
fidel, the agnostic, and they shall all be
conditions of the past. l want a part in
the chorus OF triumphant rejoicing"
A God i'll words alone, said he, without
deeds and actions to back it is an empty
expression of divine attributes. He closed
by pointing TO Christ and his unselfishness
as the only criterion man could safely
follow for his lfe's journey.
At the close OF the services Mr.. CasSard
was the center of a large circle of church
members who gathered to greet him for the
| first time and TO extend a hearty welcome
and assurances of mutual assistance.
Mr.. Cassard preached again last night,
| choosing his text from Acts, Xx.24. A
large congrc cation listened to him.
The morning times., 1896-03-23

Rev. DR.. e. W Leech, who was as
signed at the recent conference TO the
pastoral charge or Grace NJ. T.. Church,
in pla ce of Rev. DIR. Watson Case, is no
stranger to the people of Washington.
Fourteen years ago he filled the pulpit
at EbeneZer, now Trinity, Church, and
later was in charge of the flock a Uni on
Church. Recently he has been pastor of
the church ut Goventown,B Baltimore county,
Nd, and comes here after ardu Gus and
successful work in that charge.
For the present he is the guest or his
son, DR.. Leech, of this city. The nc W
pastor Will occupy the parsonage when
il has been vacated by DR.. Case, to whom
and TO Mrs. Watson Case Il farewell re-
ception will be given tomorrow evening
at O'Clock at Hillard Hall, 1927 Sew
enth street northwest
Rev. DR.. Leech made an excellent i'm
preston on his new congregation, which
was pre- sent numerously He spoke a
Few words before the sermon, saying that
he was not in his new position through
any plan of his own, but in simple accord
ance with the appointment by the bishop
He asked for the prayers and assistance OF
the congregation He desired that he and
they should labor together harmoniously for
the spiritual welfare OF the church.
He congratulated the people on their
church organization and its auXiliaries, es-
peclally It's EpWOrth League, and concluded
with the fervent aspiration: May God be
with me and may God be with you"
In the opening prayer he asked the Divine
blessing on the retiring pastor in all his
fields OF labor.
The sermon was on the fact of the
creation of man taken in connection with
the clothing OF the crea ted being with moral
and spiritual attribute s. The preacher
discussed the attainment of man to the
ideal in these days from three points OF
view, as factors in such attainment.
First, man must have clear and right
conception OF the theory TO be ACHE we'd,
which is spiritual character: second, he
must exercise his will aud best efforts to
that end; ana third, he must be disciplined
by experience and suffering, Man moving
along these lines of thought and action
realizes at last the soul, than which there
is nothing grander or mghtier In the uni
verse. May God grant it for you and for
me, for every one of us, for Christ's 81 ke."
DR.. Lecch is speaker OF great force and
eaRneStness. His sermon was instructively
conceived, and was elaborated in striking,
harmonious language. It's philosophy was
! thoroughly practicaL
The excellent music of tite services was
by a choir directed by Prof ". c. Steven,
with Miss Virginia Emety as organist.
After theservices the congregation greeted
the pastor personalls i'll the most cordial
and hospitable manner.
