DIR. BEHRENDS DEAD.


Brooklyn's Wen Known Pastor Sue
cumbs to Bright's Disease-His Re-
cent Address on "Creeds.
New York, May 22.-Rev. DR.. A. j. F,
Behrends whose address on "Creeds
before the recent Ecumenical confer
ence in Manhattan stirred the religious
world, died at S:45 o'clock this morn
ing at his home, No. 96 Brooklyn ave-
nue., Brooklyn, of Bright's disease. AT
his side when he passed away were his
wife and his daughters, Mrs. Cook and
Misses Jessie and Minnie. A son.
Frank Behrends Is a resident of Buff
falo It was not thought necessary to
send for him up to an early hour this
morning, as the condition of the pa
tient had grown no worse since yester-
day, when it seemingly took favora-
Bile turn.
DR. Behrends was a strong and able
preacher ana for many years and up to
the time of his death had held the pas
torate of the Central Congregational
church on Hancock street, near Frank
lin avenue.
1t is said that on Monday of last
week DR.. Behrends paid visit to DR..
William M. Butler, the family physl-
clan, and explained to him that he
thought he was developing nervous
prostration. The first symptoms Of the
fatal malady manifested themselves
while the doctor was preaching an in
stallation sermon the day previous in
Darien, Conn.
About a week ago he went to bed af-
ter being Informed of the nature and
gravity of the disease.
This morning DR.. Butler was called
to the house early. Commissions had set
in and the patient passed away as the
doctor reached the front door to enter.
The prudential committee Of his con-
gregation had formally relieved him of
all pastoral duty until September Is.
His regular vacation would have dated
from July is. His assistant, Rev. Will
liam p. Harmon, was placed in charge
Of the church.
The address of Or. Behrcnds at the
Ecumenical conference which attracted
much attention was an attack on the
diversity Of creeds.

No unusual illumination has

supposed that our esteemed cons

got TO the bottom of the questions
propounded by the News last week.
but there is one county still to
hear from. When the returns are
all in the News will state what it
knows about the matter. and poss
IDLY other matters, also. The
Hustler does not seem to have un.
derstood why the News asked those
questions, but "there are more
things IN heaven and earth, Hora
ito, than are dreamt of III your
philosophy" Its alleged reply was
evidently very hastily prepared,
and the language used must have
been the higher idiom of Choctaw,
for it certainly was not English.
Here is a specimen rhinestone.
