SLIGHT ATTACK OF APoPLExY.
DR.. Robert Nourse Overcome While
Occupying Pulpit Yesterday.

Rev DR.. Robert NOurse, the Wel-known
Congregational minister and public lecturer,
while occupying the pulpit of the First Con-
gregational Church here yesterday morning,
was stricken with slight attack of apo
pleXy and had to be carried from the sane
tuary. He was just about to begin his SER
mon to the waiting congrega ton when the
attack came upon him and he was COM
PEELED to desst. DR.. Nourse sank back
from the pulpit into a chair, and Rev B.
W. Pond, one of the deacons, dismissed the
congregation for the morning.
DR.. Nourse feeling i'll when he en-
tered the pulpit at the beginning of the
church service, but he hoped to be able to
deliver the morning sermon. He offered
the opening prayer, blessed the collection
and announced the several hymns. After
the singing he advanced to the front of the
pulpit to address the audience, but finding
himself unable to begin the sermon on ac-
count of weakness, he said:
Il do not think l will be able to preach to
you today
Thinking to rest him for few minutes
the choir sang several stanZas of a hymn,
and DR.. Nourse again attempted to deliver
his discourse. He was seized with dizZi-
ness, and after mumblmg brief apology
he sank into his chair. The stricken man
was assisted to one of the church parlors,
where nitro-glycerine was administered as
heart stlmulant and DR.. Howard H.
Barker was summoned. Late in the after
noon the patient was removed into near
by house and his condition steadily i'm
proved.
DIR. NOurse resides with his family at
Falls Church, Va, and they were notified
Of his attack. Early this morning his son
drove to this city, hoping his father would
be able to accompany him home but DR..
Nourse did not feel equal to the trip. Shortly
before noon, however, he felt SO much bet
ter that he decided to take the electric cars
for Falls Church. Several friends accom-
panied him to the cars, and he continued
his Journey alone.
DR.. Nourse is about sixty-two years of
age and native of England. For many
years he has been prominent as a lecturer
and preacher Perhaps his most notable
lectures are: why 1 am Not an Infdel,"
DIR. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde and ''The Bells"
He was at one time an actor, but left the
stage for the pulpit. He Is very dramatic
in his style Of delivery, and evidently the
strain of the intensely dramatic climaxes in
his various lectures have had something to
do with weakening his heart action
For a number of years he lived in the
west. Yesterday afternoon he was to have
addressed mass meeting Of the Y NJ c.
A. In Philadelphia, but the engagement had
to be Cancelled.
DR.. Nourse has been occupying the pulpit
of the First Congregational Church for the
past three weeks, during the absence Of Dr.
Newman, the pastor, on his vacation.

NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP.
Foundry Church Committee Ha.
Sketches From Six Architects.

SAOLCAOS E IOlu ok kATCu1LCCLS.
Six architects have each prepared
sketches and plans for the new Foundry
Methodist Church, and they will be sub
mitted to the building committee of that
church the 1st Of October. It is expected
that considerable time will be consumed by
the committee in the examination of the
plans, and then the selection made will
have to be submitted to the Methodist con-
ference for its approval.
1t Is thought that work on the new struc-
ture will not be commenced before the
first of next year, as the perfecting of de-
tails connected with arrangements for
building, even after the selection and ap-
proval Of suitable plans, will consume sew
eral months. The Foundry congregation
has been worshiping in the Columbian
University Hall since vacating the old
building, and 1t is thought to be likely that
it will continue its services there through
out the college year..

suddenly about dashed in running jumps across the platform, his arms waving like the sails of a windmill, his coat-tails flying behind him, and his trousers working above his shoe tops.
 He had not spoken word, and some of his congregation were ready to shriel1, not knowing what to make of it, when MT. Talmage stopped short, turned and walked back to the center of the platform and ex- claimed, as the beginning of his ser mon: Young man, you're rushing to destruction!" And amidst the pro- found impression he had created he preached powerfully of the dangers of city life to young men who yielded to temptation, and made them real ize that they stood on the very brink of hell.
 Dr. Talmage did not belong to class. He was type by himself. His sermons were unique. His comment on his style of preaching was: My positive mode of preaching seems to stir the hostilities of all earth and he'll" In telling the story of his life he once said:
 'Feeling called upon i5 years ago to explore underground New York city life, that l might report the evils to be combatted. I took with me two elders of my church and a New York police commissioner and policeman, and I explored and report ed the horrors that needed removal and the allurements that endangered our young men. There came upon me an outburst of assumed indigna tiOn that frightened almost every body but myself That exploration put into my church 30 or 40 newspa- south, east and west; which opened for me new avenues in which to preach the Gospel that otherwise would never have been opened. Years passed on and l preached series of sermons on amusements, and false report of what I did say reused violence that threatened me with poison and dirk and pistol and other forms of extinguishment, until the cHleI or uHc DTOOklyH ponce, without any suggestion from me, took possession of the church with 24 policemen to see that no harm was done.'
 pr. Talmage is said to have reached far greater number of people with his sermons than any other preach CT. The sermons he delivered to his congregation on Sunday appeared Monday morning in a syndicate of papers in this and other countries, and through these channels it is es- timated that they reached 500OO, ,o0O readers. He also made his influence !, felt as editor of the Christian Herald and as a constant contributor to numerous periodicals, and was a voluminous writer of books. He edited the Christian at Work from 1873 to 1876; the Advance of Chicago in 1877 and 1878 and more recently Frank Leslie's Sunday Magazine. Among his writings were the fol- | lowing: Crumbs Swept Up," 1870; four volumes of sermons, 1S72-1s75; "Abominations of Modern Society,"" 1s72i "Ol2 Wells Dug Out" 1874;
