The pulpit committee of the house Of
Hope church will within a few days
call a meeting Of the congregation to
select a successor to DR.. Egbert.
Since DR.. Egbert's resignation in the
fall the committee has made thor
olgh canvass of the field and has con-
sidered the names of some of the best
known clergymen in the country, but
its deliberations.
There Is no possibility Of DR.. Egbert
returning to st. Paul, as his health,
while somewhat improved, would not
warrant his making the effort and his
physicians consider that an absolute
rest Of a year Or two will be the only
thing which will restore him to health
once more. At present he is at Ashe-
vile, N. c.
DR.. Paxton, Of Philadelphia, who has
filled the House of Hope pulpit for two
Sundays, has created a very favorable
impression and is regarded by many as
the coming man. He is a comparative
ly young man and well known in eccle-
siastical circles of the East Perhaps
no congregation in the city is as crit
ical and strictly theological in it's ideas
as that which attends the House of
Hope, and for this reason the pulpit
committee is finding it no easy matter
to fill DR.. Egbert'S shoes, who not only
filled the House of Hope pulpit salts
factor1ly but was a man Of national
reputation.
Dr. Paxton is the most likely candi-
date at present. He is an earnest man
and an able speaker, but perhaps has
more magnetism in a personal way
than in the pulpit. A majority of the
congregation favor DR.. Paxton for their
church leader, and it is quite prob
able that this majority may prevail at
the congregational meeting, which will
be announced in few days.
Rev. DR.. Davis, dean of Manchester
college, has preached continuously for
couple of months at the House Of
Hope since the pulpit was declared
vacant by the presbytery, and is very
popular with the congregation. Being
man of scholastic pursuits, having at
heart the interest of the college which
he represents, it is doubted if he would
consider an offer of pastorate, even
one as desirable as the House of Hope.
1t is matter of regret among many
that Dr. Coyle, of San Francisco, was
unable to come to st. Paul and preach
He is unquestienably an able and
brilliant representative of the clergy on
the coast and thorough scholar Re-
garding the wishes Of his family, he
decided to remain on the coast
Until the congregation has decided
upon DR.. Egbert's successor DR.. Davis
will continue to occupy the pulpit.
A well defined rumor at the House
of Hope church says that the church
is to lose the services of Rev. Carl W.
Scovel who has been assistant pastor
for the last five years. Mr. Scovel is
an energetic and untiring worker and
in addition to his work at the House
of Hope has had full charge Of the
Hope chapel mission on Bradley street,
which recently put up a new 500
edifice on the corner of Partridge street.
The congregation of the Hope Mis-
sion," as it is popularity called by
House of Hope people, has doubled
since Mr.. Scovel took charge.
