BEECHER'S CHURCH.
PLYMOUTH is ABOUT TO CELEBRATE
ITS SeMICENTENNlAL.

History Of the Most Famous Church In
the City OF Churches--The Work of
Beecher and His Worthy Successor,
Lyman Abbott.
On Nov. IL, so 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 powerful and
influential factor in national life
The plain brick building, without
tower or steeple o, any outward sugges-
tion of its character, was built ON Gran
berry street, Brooklyn in 1928, and was
occupied from then until 1S47 by the
First Presbyterian church In the latter
year the edifce, having become insult
ed to the uses of the fashionable congre-
cation of the Rev. S H. Cox and hav-
ing been abandoned for q 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 $20,000 and
joined hands in forming society to
occupy it.
This movement was begun in May,
1S47, and on May l6 the church was
opened for services. Mr.. Beecher, who
was then young and almost unknown
preacher, was pastor of q 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. Beechcr went back to In
dianapolis, and the business of organic
ing the new society went on. On Mon
day evening, June ii, the church and
society met to choose a pastor, and en-
Enthusiastically voted to extend call to
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher At that
time the society had just 2l members.
During the summer the church was
kept open and the pulpit supplied by
various clergymon. On Aug. 10 Mr.

The RICHEST WOMAN
MRS. RICHARD KING HAS MORE MONEY
THAN HETTY GREEN.

She Is the Cattle Queen of Texas and
Owns the Largest Ranch In the World.
Employs an Army of Cowboys and Lives
with Great simplicity.
The richest woman in the United
States lives in Texas. She is richer than
Hetty Green, and her name is Mrs.
Richard King. She is cattle queen
and the owner of the largest ranch in
the world. Figures convey but indis-
tinctly the extent of Mrs Kings do
main. For instance, unless you are
surveyor, you will probably fail to real
ize the greatness of her possessions from
the simple statement that she owns
1880, 900 acres, or nearly 1000 square
miles of land.
1t may convey the idea more clearly
to say that her ranch is larger than
some Of the New England states and
that her front gate is 10 miles from her
front door, as the crow flies. She has
40 miles of water front, and her barbed
wire fences stretch out over 300 miles.
She could drive in a straight line 6j
| miles without trespassing on the prop
| erty of her neighbors or leaving her
own ranch.
This vast estate, over which Mrs.
| King is absolute monarch, is located in
that southern point of Texas which
seems to project down into Mexico.
Her seacoast lies along Corpus Christi
bay. Should Mrs. King ever wish to
secede from the Union, she could an.
chor big fleet off her possessions. She
already has a standing army of 300
cowboys, who are supplied with /, 200
| ponies for their sole use. The cowboys,
however, are employed in the peaceful
pursuit of looking after Mrs. King S
great herds of "scalawags, or long
horned cattle, which number something
like 200, 900.
Almost in the center of her estates
the palacelike chateau of this cattle
| queen stands. IT is on an eminence and
surrounding it, after the manner of an
cient barOnial estates, are the numerous
and modest cottages of her hundreds of
dependents. Beyond them are acres on
acres Of titled fields, which a short time
ago were green and gold with waving
corn and grain. In the distance, stretch
ing far out of sight, is fertile wilder.
ness on which grow mesquite and cac-
tus and over which Craze her great
herds
During the best part Of the year Mrs.
King lives on her ranch, and her home
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-10-28

there is supplied with every luxury and
convenience to be found in any mansion
on Fifth avenue. When she wishes q
change, she moves down to Corpus
Christi, a city just on the edge of her
domains, where she has another palatial
residence. She built the branch railroad
which has its terminus in Corpus
Christi.
Mrs. King is widow and is now
about GO years Old She is a daughter
Of the late Rev. Hiram Chamberlain, u
missionary who established the first
Presbyterian church south Of the Rio
GraudC, and who went there with Biblo
and staff to preach to the Indians.
When a young woman, she met and
married Captain Richard King, who
was one of the pioneers of the great
southwest He was born in 1925 in New
York state and when u boy of 10 ran
away from home to become q sailor. In
lS47 he appeared on the Rio Grande as
pilot and later became boat owner.
Captain King was an adventurous
speculator. He foresaw the possible fu-
ture of that great country, and with the
profits Of his steamboating business he
purchased the Santa Gertrudes ranch,
then in itself vast possession. By
shrewd management and daring busi-
ness ventures which turned out success
fully he was able to add to his posses
siOns from time to time until at his
death he had acquired a big slice Of
this part of the Lone Star State. On
his broad acres graZed 80, 900 head of
cattle, 10000 horses and 20, 900 sheep.
Besides thl. he had accumulated a great
deal of personal property and had big
bank account The whole vast estate,
of which the land alone was worth
So, 900, 900, he left in fee simple to his
widow.
This big fortune Mrs. King has man
aged with rare skill, and it has greatly
increased in value until it is now diff
cult to estimate just how many millions
she is worth, 1t is doubtful if Mrs.
King herself knows. She does not
spend even a small part of her great
income, for in spite Of her great pos
sessions and fine houses her tastes
are simple. She does not yearn for
the social prominence which her money
would command in any of the east
ern centers of civilization, nor does
she show desire to dazzle the folks
of southern Texas by display of
magnifcence, She is a lady of kindly
instincts and admirable characteristics.
AS most of her neighbors are landed
monarchs like herself, she has little OPP
portunity for doing charitable work,
but it is said that she is generous to her
employees and opens her purse freely
when occasion requires

PLYMOUTH CHERCn.

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 Plyr-
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 $l6l 500, during the sec
ond ten years to $423,2O9 and during
the third decade to $554, 500.
In the meantime Plymouth church
had become 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 edifice on
Cranberry street, which looks the same
today as it did half a century ago, we~a
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 passerby one Sunday morn
ing, How can l find Plymouth church,"
"Cross Fulton ferry and follow the
crowd, Twas the terse reply.
1t 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, a talented and world
FAMED Congregatlonallst. 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
