Bit of Reminiscence.
Mrs. Helen B. Falkner. daughter OF
Rev. DR.. c. NJ. Butler. who became rector
of old Trinity in 1s47. and continued to
serve tho parish up to the civil war period,
relates the following bit of reminIscence:
my father, DR.. Butler. was chaplain
Of the Senate for some years, and DR..
Sunderland was chaplain of the House of
Representatives. Services were held in
those days every Sunday morning in the
House of Representatives during the ses-
sion Of Congress. the chaplains holding
service and preaching on alternate Sun
days.
In order to fulfill his double duty to
Congress and 10 the church. when it was
fathers turn to ofiiciate in the Capitol, he
would have a clergyman read the service
In Trinity Church. After holding short
service in the House of Representatives
md preaching, he would take a carriage
which he had waiting for him, and drive
to the church.
He would come quietly into the chan
eel during the singing of what was then
.he last hymn, just before the sermon,
and then would preach. ! remember the
anxiety with which / would watch for his
appearance in the chancel, and my child
sh wondering as to what dreadful thing
would happen IL he should not come be- |
lore the last hymn was sung |
Rev. William Howard Falkner, who will |
preach at the choral evening prayer, at s |
o'clock this evening, is a grandson Of DIR. |
Butler.
