THE VISIT OF REV. .HORATIO STEB
BINS, D. ID.
To the Editor Of the Pi.sss:

10 tH6 EUttOT Qf kt6 GfSSSS
Last Sunday DR.. Stebbins visited the
First Parish church and addressed many
of his old parlsnioners and others who
had assembled to hear this distinguished
pulpit orator. Thirty-six years have
passed since hB left the First Parish of
Portland and went to San Francisco to
I'LL the great vacancy occasioned by the
death of Thomas Starr King who great
ly assisted in preventing the Pacific coast
from being lost to the American Union
in the early days of the rebellion. At
that time no man could have been select
ed so well qualified to carry on the work
so we'll begun and so ably sustained by
King as Mr.. Stebbins. He at once took
the highest rank as pulpit orator and
held it to the day of his retirement. Who
ever heard him last Sunday can well be
Iieve the claim to this distinction. AL
though in his 60th year ana as all could
see, physically, somewhat infrm, yet
his strong voice still thrills with its old
time attractive moduIatiOns which holds
the rapt attention lest a syllable or a
cadence be lost.
This popularity of the voice of DIR.
SGeDD1nS 1mmoaSuraD1y emphasizes all
he says. 1t is delightful to hear his we'll
considered sentences so delivered. They
come to his audience like new shining
coin and are accepted with additional
pleasure and with full warranty Of the
heavy weight OF candor as we'll,
The irresistible conclusion are early in
| sight SO we'll are the foundations laid
for them, but we still delight to walt for
the anticipated happy manner in which
those conclusions shall finally be stated.
OF this great art in oratory Mr.. Stebblns
is a master. He does not preach, nor
conceitedly pose in the pulpit as teach
er, but he does more, he inspires, cheers,
consoles, encourages supports, gratities,
and dignifes human nature, and illu.
inmates as with sun flashes the dark
abyss of the future, in which expectancy
and hope are ever looking for the light
ahead, and to whom even a flash is CRATE.
full. This is a great mission. So few
are equal to it. The occasion was one to
be long remembered, and although the
words be lost, and the sentences be for
gotten, yet the Impressions will remain
with the appreciatiYe hearers, and so
will the pathetic incident wherein the
youthful pastor lifted the heavy Bible
for the venerable apostle of rational re-
/ ligion, u. B. BENNETT.
