GREAT CROWD AT OLD TRINITY
WOMEN FAINT IN THRONG THAT
COMES TO HEAR PRINATE.

Makes an Address for the vestry
MANY CIersy Take Part in Service.
Tho Archbishop Of Canterbury preached
NJ the morning service In Old Trinity yester-
day. In the ohancel It was beautiful
and impressive ceremony, lasting full
three hours. At the doors 1t was some-
thing like Bridge crush.
The doors were opened at A. NJ, but
even then q large crowd had gathered,
and some Of them had been waiting In the
ohurohyard since z O'Clock. Capt. McNally
and twenty five patrolmen from the Church
street station were there to keep order, but
they could hardly hold back the orderly
but insistent rush.
The pews wero kept for their regular
holders until the services opened. The
ysstrymen had decided not to vary their
usual custom and there were no tickets
al admission issued for the free seats. II
was first come first served.
In no time the crowd had filed the free
pews and the extra benches and stools
which had been placed In the aisles. After
that 1t was standing room.
By 10 o clock, when the choir and regular
clergy Of Trinity entered to begin morning
PRAYER, there was not square Inch OF
space and people were following the SER
Woe from the doors.
About that time women began to faint.
To the great relief OF the ushers. anxious
above all things to avoid a scene, they did
il quietly, and the disturbances all occurred
In the rear OF the church, in the standing
crowd. First. an old lady in black gave
in and was carried out. Then it was a
Young girl, until the police had seven cases
on their hands. The fresh air revived them.
and there were no ambulance calls.

Brooklyn, was one of the first to 60 under

The troubles of the ushers were multi
piled by orders on pews. Many OF the pew
holders of Old Trinity attend service up
town and use their holdings only at Christ
mas and Easter. 1t was expected that they
would turn out yesterday, but instead many
Of them gave orders for sittings to their
friends.
When, at half past 10, the Archbishop led
In the procession Of clergy the church was
packed but quiet. Late pewholders gave
up their attempt to enter and strolled
through the graves Of the churchyard.
A few presented cards showing that they
were delegates to the Diocesan Convention
and begged for admission at the side doors
but the ushers couldn't find room for them
because there was no room to find.

Vibbert was deacon, the Rev. Philip A.

After the creed, the wardens and vestry-
msn Of the parish were called into the ohanoel
Bishop. On behalf Of the vestry Col.
William Jay. Junior warden, read an ad-
dress Of welcome, in which he reviewed at
length the history Of Trinity parish. The
Arohbiahop followed in a few words, and
to clear an aisle through the standing crowd
so that he might pass from the chancel to
the pulpit for the sermon, which was an elo-
quent plea for sympathy and kindness IN
the midst Of New World hurry and hustle
precision. He lacks the ultra British accent
which is criticised in so many Church Of
England clergymen. His speech was hardly
more broad than that Of most American

managed it so cleverly that few of the con-
gregation knew he was reading until he
atum bled for a word and raised his manu-
script for a closer look. Taking as his text
Luke xix, 10, he said in part:

of the old world who tries in a few weeks

Wisdom. strength. power, beauty-men had
st-lven for these, and the struggle had been
IN many. ways noble and uplifting. The
Bon Of Man came to say that their striving
was lost and 70 care for those whom no one
had thought to care for.
Christ does not bid US alter the general
conditions Of life. but TO make Him its ami
mating spirit Be busy-but for Him. The
tramp Of our onmarching armies Of industry
should be the tramp of His soldiers. That
wider comm unication should furnish the
very forces that enable us TO fight the wrong
From hundred sources we are furnished
daily with new, facts from all over the world
We learn Of those things which touch our
own memories and ou- own household DIS

q the crushing grief OF those upon whom
the blows have fallen-and somehow we
don't care We read so many every week
By tomorrow new set of reports and ru-

go our way, acquiring the habit OF not think
ing not caring.
Surely these habits may become perilous
to the human soul Pray God on your Bonded
knees hat your aims may remain strai ght-
forward your heart open, your mind true
TO God and to His little ones.
May IL not be from the lack Of sympathy
that the ranks are swelled OF the saddest
and most mournful class peoplins great
city? We speak of fallen women, but for
every fallen woman there Is a fallen man
We call them abandoned women. btN only
this deadened attitude Of their fellow Chris
ttans has made abandonment possible. III In
