DIGNITY AND TROUBLE.


The rector of one of the oldest
churches In the neighborhood Of New
York was recently asked IL it did not
inspire him to know that he was r
rying on a work begun two hundred
years ago. The New York Tribune
gives his reply.
1.-THE age Of the church does add
dignity to the work. he said, guarded
ly. But 1t brings a food Of trouble
to me, particularly at tine present time,
when interest In genealogical matters
Is practically universal.
IAN old church Ia supposed to have,

are working out n family tree. They
come to see me about them. they write
to me, and enc man ever sent me thls
telegram:
"'Wire me full name of my great
grandfather, christened In your church
BY John and Mary Smith,"
HE wanted 1t 10 continue gene
illogical Investigation In Boston, and
after an hour Of hard work l found
it." said the rector, rather YEARLY.
People do not seem to realize that
one is not particularly interested in
the tree of another family. A woman,
came to see me the other day and
said, as though she were comforting
the greatest possible favor:
81 am perfectly willing you should
help me go through the church rec

it would not be altogether a novelty
for me. and left the room. When I
returned she was In the act Of cutting
Il an entry which referred to her
family! She wanted TO frame 1t for
her library. You can see for your

''that there are drawbacks In being
connected with an old church."
