OF tho Fact aud Offers Some Advice.
The Rev William Everett johnson. rector Of
the Episcopal Church OF the Redeome r In West
l5oth street. has not received his salary for
the months OF June. July and August He
calls attention to that fact in the Septem Der
number OF the Advent. the parish paper. OF
which he is the editor The rector says:
At the present writing have received no
salary for June. July or August. Let II be up-
derstood that am not uttering this in the way
OF complaint at all 1t is Just as much my fault
as 1t yours. am Just making the con fes on
Tor us all. This failure is not due to any pow
erty on the part OF the parish. as the books or
last year plainly show During that year We not
only paid all OF the regular expenses OF the
church. but spent considerable in repairs and
added to the sinking fund"
The present Church OF the Redeemer on West
136th street is tho result OF the consolidation.
about year and a half ago Of tho old Church
OF the Redoemer at Park avenue and East
EtChty-second street and the Church OF the
Holy Nativity in Harlem. Referring to this
consolidation. the Rev. Mr.. johnson continues
There has been times in the history OF each
OF the consolidating parishes whom salaries
were not paid because t'.ose parishes were not
able to pay them. But In the present parish we
now have really enough due from pew rents

Pastor Overton Declares His Life . New
and Living Gospel.

and Living Gospel.
The Gospel Of q Great Life. Is illustrated By
Cornelius Vanderbilt" was tho theme OF the
Rev. Daniel Il. Overton. pastor Of tho Greene
Avenue Baptist Church. Brooklyn. yesterday.
Taking for his text James iil:13 who 10 wise
and understanding among you Let him show
by his good life his works in meekness and
wisdom" Mr.. Overton said In part:
The study OF the great lives OF any period or
country 10 the study OF the history Of that pc
Rod or country.
Prominent among the great lives OF this city
has been. believe. the life Of Corn elius Van
derbilt. His life has been Q new and living
gospel In the world. Produced By the gospel
OF Christ. 1t In turn has produced a gospel for
Christ and for Christianity and for Christian
manhood IN the world. His highest glory was
not that he was railroad king but that he
was ono Of the friends Of the King OF Truth.
Religion was to him. believe. real and
vital thing. 1t was not merely cloak that he
could put on or of as occasion served. but =
thing OF life and work. tho guiding. govern
ing principle Of life.
Il speak this word OF praise not merely be-
cause he was rich and prominent, and had
large sums OF money to give away. but because
in all his prominence and wealth he remained
religious and seemed to put religion first In all
his doing and giving.
I'VE can learn m UGH from his business career
from its beginning to it's end. He was pune
tual. patient and persevering. But above all
he was pious. not with false or nam by pam by
piety. but with vital and manly faith.
The greatest lesson for US to learn. the
greatest thing we can say Of him. 10 this: He
was a Christian We ought ever to be grateful
to the man who. In noble ways In high or low
nil Mill aa ha ChFia nd
lives tho Christian life.
Prominent among the Gracss OF his life was
that OF liberality. He gave much to many good
causes and was apparently a faithful steward
OF i'm mense wealth. God grant that those who
bear his name may exemplify his virtues. and
carry on his work. and may We all learn lessons
from the gospel OF his life."

weak Postum as il was, brought me
around.
In five months | left the hospital and

cup OF Mocha and Java. found in my
absence my good wife had started to using
Postum, and coffee was stranger on the
table. "Try this" she said, off you do

so, but with an anticipated bad opinion.
"Why, that is coffee, Is ii not ?" | said

The difference was simply in the max

Reference Made in Newport Churches to the
Late Cottnger.

crowds at the churches to-day. and In nearly
every service the death OF Cornelius Wander

Presbyterian Church here. spoke on "Immor-
tally" and feolingly referred to the life OF Mr..
Vanderbilt. he said: We sorrow not for
one who was as conspicuous as some.
but for one whose life and influence has been.
and Is. the lsavsn Of righteousness in the finan-
clal and business world and in the civic life OF
our nation. Almost with his dying hand and
just before leaving this city his sent messen-
ger with check for the relief OF one whose
home otherwise would have been lost by the
foreclosure OF a mortgage. Greater than his
gifts. greater than his millions. was the man.
Future years will give better perspective to his
character. when the moral and spiritual ele-
ments Of its power. its moulding and ennobllng
influence. will even more deeply and gratefully
be seen.
The Rev. Henry Morgan Stone Of Trinity
Church. OF which Mr.. Vanderbilt was mem Der.
also paid q tribute to his memory. The Rev. J.
NJ. Rich OF St. Georges Church preached on the
life OF Mr.. Vanderbilt. and the Rev. Alexander

reported in the pamphlet number OF the combined

a stock Of dry goods in the Stewart building al
broadway and Tenth street in this city against
loss or damage by fire. This contract valid
in Massac husetts where il was made and where IL
was to be performed but the question arose whether
the effect of our insurance law was IN render II
enforceable in the courts OF this State. The APP

Ingraham, holds that the Legislature OF New
York cannot restrain the making OF an insurance
contract outside the territorial limits Of New York.
