Expressions from Those Who Knew

v
MyrOn w. Reed as NeiEhbOrs.
w. P. Fishback was a neighbor of Rev.
Myron w Reed during the years he was
in this city as the pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church. Mr.. Fishback became init
mately acquainted with the preachers early
history and obtained a close insight into
his characteristics.
ION one OCCASION said Mr. Fishback.
Reed, Oscar McCuloch. pastor of
Plymouth Church, and David Swing, of Chi
cage. had dinner at my house. Swing, him
self known everywhere as one of the bril-
liant pulpit orators, told me that he be-
lieved Reed had produced more original
thought and expression than any other
preacher in America. So peculiar was Reeds
style he could never repeat one of his SER
mons to the same congregation. His hearers
would al once remember hearing his words
before. Reed always wrote his sermons
Saturday night after the children We're in
bed he wrote his sermon for the next MORN
ing. using loose paper and a lead pencil He
never numbered the pages and took but
little care of his manuscripts Sunday after
noon, when the children had gone TO Sunday
school, he wrote his sermon for the even
ing. A single sitting sufficed. He wrote rap
idly.
Some people used to crticise Reed for
what they considered his radical ideas He
was accustomed to speak of this AS an age
CT 'millionaires and tramps.' He cared but
little fer such criticism. He used to say that
it appeared to him that man whose great
great grandfather had fought in the Cana
dian war: whose great grandfather fought
in the revolutionary war, whose grand
father fought in the war of 1872 and who
himself fought in the civil war ought to
have the right to speak his mind freely And
he generally did lie had the most intense
sympathy with tramps. He was once
tramp himself and knew what ii meant TO go
hungry and without a bed. He ran away
from home when a boy of about seventeen,
leaving his fathers home, in Vermont. One
night he entered a big hotel in New York
sleepy and hungry. He curled UP i'm a big
comfortable chair, but about midnight the
clerk came along and turned him out. Reed
wandered down about the docks. He smelled
the oder Of bacon frying on a fishing smack
and went aboard and asked the captain 10
give him something 10 do. The captain took
Newfoundland. Nothing more dreary than
being compelled to blow a fog horn all
night long to keep from being run down
by big ships could be imagined, Reed used
to say. Then he spent the daylight cleaning
halibut and cod. He read with deep interest

you know, which depicts scenes like those
through which Reed passed.
AT last he was hack in New York and
went to Horace Greeley to ask for something
TO do. He told Greeley he had had no experl-
ence and yet his evident intelligence and
Willingness appealed TO the editor. who gave
him letter TO the chairman OF The sfate

As A PULPIT ORATOR.
What an indianapolis Periodical Said
of Mr.. Reed Years Ago.


The Western World, a periodical pub
ished in this city several years ago, printed
Dec. /. 1881, a character sketch OF Myrou W.
Reed. Following are several extracts from
it:
He has felt the sharp edge Of fortunes
displeasure and can enter into the feelings
of the unfortunate. This seems 10 be the
secret of Mr.. Reeds power-he appreciates
the value of a soul. lie has something of the
faculty Of Carlisle to see the real man under
the clothes, whether they be aL-wool or
shoddy. But better than Carlisle, he has
heart as tender and sympathetic as
woman's He realizes the pain of others and
suffers with them. He knows the circum-
stances which surround men and therefore
does not pretend to judge them, but covers
their shortcomings with the generous mantle
of charity. He made the address al the
funeral of John Thompson, the gambler and
so kind and considerate. yet manly were
his thoughts. that he won the respect and
admiration Of the sporting fraternity, many
OF whom may be seen in his sunday night
congregations Oppression or abuse of power
enrages him. Jealous of the rights OF the
weak and defenseless. he has been often
misrepresented by those who lackey to the
influential
His indivdualism is the striking fea-
ture of his character and power. He IS like
no other preacher, and, so far as we know,
no other orator, political or forensic. His
thoughts come out like cannon baus, not
merely one at a time, but each complete
in itself and as compact as granite His
sermons read ike cOlleCtlOn OIL dpHOflsIlS.
The transition thoughts, the connectives,
that other men use to make subject flow
continuously he rarely employs, cOnse-
quently his style is abrupt, but always clear
and fOrcible
aside from his marked popularity of
style is rarely original quality of brains
that never fails TO force out OF the most
unpromising subject not only an idea, but
a treatise, brief of course, that nobody ever
thought Of in such connection. But the sug-
gestion is always pertinent. He may step
to one side of his subject but he always
moves parallel with its purpose. His origin
atty frees him from platitudes. lie is
never commonplace, never drags, never
relaxes his grasp. The moment he has said
what there is to say he quits. Though at
the moment it may seem to be with an UNI
finished thought, it never is He pays no
tribute to the graces His mind labors with
too much force for that So he cares little
to round off a sermon, or blow whistle 10
tell that he is going to stop.
In the pulpit, as out of it, Mr.. Reed is
the least pretentious clergyman that ever
wore the cloth He puts on no style
His manner is quiet to sameness, but for
the masterful vigor of his thought. he
rarely gesticulates, he never declaims, lie
reads in level tone always easily audible,
never impressive by force of voice.

Just as Of old,-with fearless foot
And placid face and resolute.
He takes the faint. mysterious trail
That leads beyond our earthly hail.
We would cry, as in last farewell,
But that his hand waves. and a spell
Is laid upon our tongues: and thus
He takes unworded leave Of us.
And it Is ftting:-As he Jared
Here with US, so is he prepared
For any fortuning the night
May hold for him beyond our sight.
The moon and stars they stlll attend
His wandering footsteps to the end
He did not question, nor will We.
Their guidance and security.
SO. never parting word nor cry
We feel, with him, that by and by
our onward trails will meet, and then
