PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

Beecher accepted the call, but did not
commence his labors until the first Sun
day of the following October.
From the first the attendance was
large in spite of the fact that the church
of the learned, eloquent and popular
DR.. Storrs, of the same denomination,
was only short distance away. But
the congregations increased until Plym-
outh church began to be filled from the
pulpit to the outer doors, as it was for
more than 40 years
During the first ten years of Mr.
Beecher's ministry the pew rentals
amounted to $161, 500. during the Sec
ond ten years to $423, 2O9 and during
the third decade to 1854, 800.
In the meantime Plymouth church
had become a power in the land and
had broadened out locally until it exer-
cised an important influence throughout
Brooklyn. Missions, clubs, societies and
other relative organizations were estab-
lished which brought Plymouth church
into close touch with large number of
people in the great city.
But it was the pulpit utterances of
the pastor, his broad, liberal views on
national affairs and particularly his
bold utterances on the slavery question
which spread the fame of Plymouth
church over two continents. After his
famous trip to England in 1868 it is
safe to say that few individuals of the
English speaking race remained who
had not heard of Plymouth church. In
that plain, unpretentious ediice on
Cranberry street, which looks the same
today as it did half century ago, were
spoken words which thrilled the nation
words which even found an echo on
the other side of the ocean
A stranger in New York, it is said,
asked of a passerby one Sunday morn
ing, ''How can find Plymouth church?''
''Cross Fulton ferry and follow the
crowd, " was the terse reply.
It is small wonder that after Mr..
Beecher's death portion of the congre-
cation doubted that any man qualified
to fill Plymouth church pulpit could be
found in America. So call was extend
ed to Rev Charles A. Berry of Wolver-
hampton, England. talented and world
famed Congregationalist. He visited
Brooklyn, but declined the call He
will, by the way, preach the golden
jubilee sermon on Nov next
Rev. Lyman Abbott was finally
chosen. and he has in a remarkable de-
gree won and held the confidence of
Mr.. Beecher's old parishioners and kept
Plymouth church from lapsing into
mediocrity. ANDREW Downs.

some, for there are several others in the
arena. Among them are General Lew
Wallace, Governor Mount and Congress-
man Steele.
Mr.. Taylor was recently appointed a
member of the monetary commission
and was chosen vice president of that
body. He has been for years promi-
nent lawyer and politician of Indiana,
and his senatorial ambition is by no
means a new one. Mr.. Taylor was born
in Chillicothe, O., in 1888, but has
been resident of Indiana ever since he
was years old and citizen of Fort
Wayne since 1859. He was admitted to
the bar in 1860 and was judge of the
court of common pleas from 1868 to
1870. In 1871 he represented Allen
county in the lower branch of the Iegis-
lature On the election of General Har-
rison to the United States senate in
1881 Judge Taylor succeeded him as a
member of the Mississippi river COM
mission, and he has held that position
ever since. He has given much time to
the study of the problems connected
with the improvement of the river and
his published papers and addresses on
the subject are regarded as most impor-
tant contributions to its literature.
In the Republican caucus of the
present year Judge Taylor was a candi-
date for the nomination as United
States senator, but was defeated by
Charles W. Fairbanks He submitted
gracefully, but then announced that he
would be a candidate again. He is by
no means a novice in politics, for, while
he has had busy and successful legal
career, he has always taken an active
part in the spirited campaigns in In
diana and has the reputation of being a
good political general.

BEECHER'S CHURCH.
PLYMOUTH IS ABOUT TO CELEBRATE
ITS sEMICENTENNIAL.

History of the Most Famous Church In
the City of Churches-The Work of
Beecher and His Worthy Successor,
Lyman Abbott.
On Nov. II, 80 years ago, Henry Ward
Beecher was installed as pastor of Plym-
outh church. and it is that date rather
than the one on which the church was
organized which has been chosen as the
time for holding the services in COM
memoration of the semicentennial 1t
is delicate tribute to the great preach
er, without whom the church would
never have become such a powerful and
influential factor in national life
The plain brick building, without
tower or steeple or any outward sugges-
tion of its character, was built on Gran
berry street, Brooklyn. in 1928, and was
occupied from then until 1847 by the
First Presbyterian church. In the latter
year the edifice, having become insult
ed to the uses of the fashionable congre-
cation of the Rev. s. H. Cox and hav-
ing been abandoned for a larger and
finer structure on Henry street, was
placed on the market Three wealthy
business men, members of existing Con-
gregational churches, united in pur-
chasing the property for 5000 and
Joined hands in forming a society to
occupy it.
This movement was begun in May,
1847, and on May IS the church was
opened for services. Mr.. Beecher, who
was then young and almost unknown
preacher, was pastor of a church in In
dianapolis, but was in New York for
the purpose of attending some church
anniversaries. He had made several ad-
dresses. and among his hearers were the
men who were about to launch the new
enterprise They were impressed with
his simple, direct, earnest eloquence,
and they invited him to preach at the
opening services. He accepted and, sin
gular as it may seem, preached to big
audiences at both the morning and
evening services, although the event
had been hastily and scantily advertised.
Then Mr.. Beecher went back to In
dianapOlis, and the business of organic
ing the new society went on. On Mon
day evening, June IA, the church and
society met to choose a pastor, and en-
Enthusiastically voted to extend a call to
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher- At that
time the society had just 21 members
During the summer the church was
kept open and the pulpit supplied by
various clergymen- On Aug. 10 Mr..

Mayhap it was only fad-a brilliant,
unique, inspired fad. If so, he was a
genius.
For fortnight now Mr.. Goo1d Hoyt
has been the central figure among the
gilded youth of the metropolis, and he
has seemed to enjoy it. 1t has been dis
covered that he is an excellent whip,
that he is popular cotillon leader and
that he is one of the best dressed young
men in the town. His clothes are not
merely vivified fashion plates; they are
tinted sonnets. If his suit is of brown,
his gloves, tie, hat and topcOat are in
shades of the same color. Sometimes he
affects symphonies in lilac or brown
Then he is gorgeous.
Goold HOyt has been asked thousand
times why he wears a veil when he
drives His answers are never the same.
With each new one the mystery deep
ems. It may be that he has taken vow
or made wager. He generally wears
one of green or brown. The material is
said to be barege, whatever that may
be- He defends the habit stoutly and
says that he has tried on all kinds of
wells. Brave Mr.. GoOld Hoytl

Why did he wear veil? Was it to
