HE STOOD THE TEST.
The Chicago Preacher Succeeded in
Pleasing Plymouth Church.
New York Evening Sun.

New York Evening Sun.
When the Rev DIR. Lyman Abbott re-
signed the pastorate of Plymouth Church
in Brooklyn the difficulty of obtaining a
successor Immediately presented itself. 1t
was a peculiar difficulty in this case. Now
DR.. Abbott. has been famous for his sur
priseS Nobody ever knew what his ser
mons would contain in the way of criti-
clsm or exposition. Whatever might be said
a apo ms orthodoxy, all mad to admit that
this preacher had the courage of his con-
victions, or, rather, of his lack of convic-
tons: He took as much delight in going for
st. Paul with a club as in denouncing the
world the flesh and the devil. Dogmatic-
ally DR.. Abbott was a perpetual surprise
and joy forever to those who liked that
very. sort of thing that his congregation
liked. So, as we have said, there was a
big bill to fill in finding somebody to wear
the shoes of DR.. Abbott.
A deputation was sent out to spy the
weakness of the ecclesiastical land. In Chi
cago 1t lit upon the Rev. DIR. Hills. 1t re-
ported that he was just the man for the
place but-there was something about his
pronunciation that the good people of Plym-
outh Church would have to get accustomed
TO. Wen, last night the candidate was
heard in DR.. Abbott,s church. He dis
coursed not on the inspiration of the Scrip
lures, not on the relation of Christianity
other kindred subjects which have a natural
relation to the duties of the ministry, but
on The Message of John Ruskin to the
Twentieth Century," His hearers were de-
lighted. 1t is said that the result will be
an immediate ratification of the choice of
the advisory committee. On the question of
John Ruskin the Rev. DR.. Hills is all right.
He Is as sound a bell. The earnestness
with which he appealed to his hearers to
cultivate the virtues which are advocated
by the author of Modern Painters touched
all hearts. DR.. Hilliss peculiar method of
sounding the letter "a" was forgotten.
Every great man has his popularity. Why
should not he?
1t is all very characteristic of the spirit
of the age. Certain of the churches have
given dogma the slip. Why should they
not, in making choice of parson, judge
him from his views on certain literary or
aesthetic subjects? Instead of listening to
his exposition of dark theological subjects
why not substitute mere entertaining topics
His opinion on Walter Pater on the Renais-
sance, William Morris or Dante Rossetti
might be very well taken to furnish test.
In this way, as in the case of DR.. Hills on
Ruskin. the candidate could shine at his
brightest, and even the most frivolous occu-
pant of a pew would be happy

AN INDEFENSIBLE TRADE

He Knows Nothing About the Beef

to Become Involved in 1t.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 15.-Major
General Shafter and party left here at ;
o'clock this evening for San Francisco
They spent the day in visiting the army post

Miner, of the Sixth Infantry, at luncheon
and by a concert of the regimental band of
the Sixth. Many people congregated at the
depot to see their departure Before leav-
ing General Shafter said to a reporter: 1
do not wish to mix in anybody's business,
1 have never said to General Eagan, or any
one else. that the beef over which the con-
troversy has arisen was good, because 1
know nothing about it. l only know and
only have said that the beef at Santiago
was good. L saw it. 1 do not care to
say anything in reference to General
Eagan's indefensible TRADE on General
Miles, The matter has reached an acute
phase, and it is not my wish or province
to have anything to say in connection with
it further than to disclaim having made to
General Eagan, or any one else, the remarks
attributed by report to me-
