CONVERTS THE HEBREU D.
SO Says DR.. Houghton of Rule MOI
to Uarry Jezcs and Christians.

The Church of the TRANSPORTATION. Oetter
known as THE Little Church Around the
Corner yesterday celebrated the siXty-nith a'-
niversary of its foundation with elaborate ser
vices. The rector the Rev. DIR. George ClaIA
Houghton with the assistants oficiated' wh"e
Father James o. s. Huntington, superior of the
Order of the Holy Cross. delivered the sermon
at the principal service.
DR. Houghton. at the end of the morning ser
vice talked on marriage in connection with his
church He said that as he could esti-
mate about fifteen thousand marriages had
taken place within the church since its found
ing
II dislike very much the idea that this is a
church where any ard all who desire to marry
may have their wishes gratifed" he continued
Il. without doubt turn about seventy-fve
couples month away This. you see. would
he about nine hundred a year. many more than
most any other church in the country marries in
that time. I have three causes for refusal
secret marriages. where the parents do not know
of the union; divorced couples, which the Church
will not allow to marry, and one Of the con-
tracing parties being a Hebrew l will not
marry Hebrew TO a Christian.
This latter cause. however. is doing a Won
derful work. and have found that we are doing
a missionary work among that race of people
greater than any other church in the city. l tell
each person in of this kind that'I cannot
marry them until they both Christians, and
l have known couples to wait a year at which
time the Hebrew has been instructed i'm the
Church, been baptized and afterward confirmed
l believe that l have more converted Hebrews
in my church than any other I'm the city.
The mistaken idea of many people concerning
the customs of this church In regard to the mar
riage question has caused me much embarrass-
ment. One of the members of my church while
standing I'm front of the rectOry the other day
heard one of the 'barkers' on a Seeing New
York call out, This is the Little Church
Around the Corner where you can be married
any time of the day night The gentleman
did not come to me until afterward. hut went at
once To the office OF the company and informed
them that they would find themselves I'm serious
trouble if the thing repeated. An apology
