New York Times.)

In 1866 DR.. Deems came to New York.
He had in his mind the founding Of a
newspaper, with the mission of healing
the wounds the war had inflicted, and
by religious and literary ways, to bring
about better feeling between the two
sections. The first issue Of the paper,
The Waterman, was Of January, 1866,
and it failed, and it was the first, maybe
the only, failure, in DR.. Deems's career,
but he wrote in December of that year:
"a week Of darkening prospects,
but my faith in the Heavenly Father
that He will over-rule all things for my
good is triumphant" Now comes the
supreme point of DIR. Deems's life.
One Sunday in New York he went to
a church. He was tired and he wanted
seat. The sexton refused to show him
a seat; he must wait until the pewholders
were in. "He stood twenty minutes, I'M
til he became so weary that he was COM
PEELED to return to his room without hav-
ing the comfort of the sermon" And
then it came about-hashed through his
mind-how glorious it would be if there
were a temple devoted to God where "no
man should have to stand one minute who
came in one minute before the service
was opened" and then was born the
Church Of the Strangers.
Once DR.. Deems had conceived an idea
he followed it up. Out of his own slen-
der means he paid for the use Of the
chapel Of the university, and the first
prayer was listened to ON Sunday, July
%, 1866. There We're sixteen persons
present. The next Sunday there were
thirty listeners, and ON Aug. 5 seventy.
On the 18th Of the same month the chapel
was packed. The movement grew apace.
Here was man who preached of that
''blessed liberty wherewith Christ hath
made US free" Among DR.. Deems's
hearers on certain Sunday were two
women-Mrs. Crawford and her daugh-
ter. In 1869 the younger of these ladies
became the wife of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt, and the Commodore looked
on the work Of the little church with
favor. To him it had the merit, perhaps,
OF originality. "Seats were free" How
the matter came about that $4,000 was
given to DIR. Deems for the purchase
| OF the Mercer Street property is happily
! told. The money was ready for DR.
, Deems, and even receipt for it was moi
asked. "He looked at me, straight In
, the eye, and said, Doctor, TIL give you
i the church. and DR.. Deems's reply was
, Commodore Vanderbilt, you don't know
me. There is not any man in Americs
rich enough to have me for chaplain.
After all, the old Commodore loved mar
who could be up and down and asked
no favors which. if granted, lowered thu
, manhood of the recipient. And so
| thanks to Commodore Vanderbilt, tn,
Church Of the Strangers became an act
| uality.
After that matters went on admirably
and the good work done by that churcl
had the happiest of influences.
| DIR. Deems died Nov. 1S, 1893, and hi
last ineligible words were "My-faith--
holds-out," and may the memory Of thi
good man be forever recalled.

 They were still six miles from the nearest saloon and it was already four III the afternoon. They were seated by the roadside, resting. On the other side of the road was hay field in which were two invitingly restful haystacks. mad 1t not been for the anticipated pressure of the beer the haystacks would have wooed them from the road.

 He had left school three months previously and had been In search of a situation where he could begin in a very small way and gradually rise in the esteem of everybody as he had no- ticed was the case in the biographies he had read, until he should have junior partnership thrust upon him and final ly be known as a merchant prince.
 He had now formed connection, as they say, with substantial retail furni- ture store and was endeavoring strenu- ously to merit the favor of his employer. What if he could rise at one bound! The mere thought of it filled him with an ecstasy that nerved him into a tentative plunge.
 He saw clearly that the house was too conservative; it needed to be pushed. The small display of goods at the door should be placarded. Merely to mention this would be small glory for him. He must paint the signs him. self and then, when the surprising re- suits had been disclosed, he would be called into the office and duly recog- nized for his far-seeing, merchant prince-like sagacity. He dreamed of it that night. In bis fervor he reached the store early. The goods were arranged at the door. One neatly lettered placard was pinned with nervous hand to a roll of carpet. He had seen the same sign at many other stores.
 His employer came and went several times during the day without observing the sign, but Tom noticed that passers- by ypointed at it. In the evening he was called to the door by the proprietor.
 Do you know who put that on there?"
 Tom assumed an air of modesty. The reward was already his. 1t was dang ling before his eyes.
 "Yes, sir; did"
 Well, don't let me catch you at such tricks again. I suspected that some street boys had done it. The idea of sign like that on a roll of carpet!"
