CHILD BECOMES
RECTOR'S BRIDE
THE REV. CHARLES T. PFEEFER,
THIRTY, MAKES MISS ALICE
HALL, FIFTEEN, HIS WIFE.

PHILADELPHIA,Pa., Aug. 25.-
ALFRED in white, with large picture
hat on her head and her skirt barely
touching the floor, Miss Alice A.. Hall,
fifteen-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Barclay Hall, Of No. 7O4 East
Chelton avenue, Germantown, be.
came the bride of Rev. Charles
Thatcher Pfeffer, formerly rector OF
the House of Prayer, in Branchtown,
Wednesday morning.
The wedding which was attended
by more than two hundred friends
OF the couple, and which, because of
the youth of the bride, attracted
many others. occurred in the Church
OF the Annunciation, at Twelfth and
Diamond streets. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Daniel /.
odell, who was assisted by the Rev.
John Matthews. Following the brief
ceremony the nuptial mass was said,
Mr.. odell being the celebrant.
Mr.. Pfeffer, who is thirty years old,
met Miss Hall about eighteen months
ago, when she was a pupil in the
Sunday School in the church In
Branchtown and he was the rector.
Miss Hall was devoted to her Bible
studies and possessed remarkable
faculty for memorizing passages from
the Scriptures.
Mr.. Pfeffer's attentions to the
young girl soon became marked and
caused much gossip. This led to
dissensions in the church, and the
rector's popularity waned. Miss
Halls parents, however, found no
fault with the attachment between
their daughter aad the clergyman,
and the marriage had their approval.
A crisis in the relations of pastor
and flock came when Mr.. Pfeffer tried
to introduce into his church a new
form Of ritual. He is a high church
man. and his congregation was &C.
customed to low church form Of
service. Because of this difference
1t was the opinion of both the rector
and the vestry that he should resign
the rectorate, and this he did last
March.
Mr.. Pfeffer was assistant rector un-
til two years ago Of st. Luke's
church. Germantown, which. the
Rev. DR.. Samuel Upjohn is rector.
Then he went to- the Branchtown
church and later to Cairo, N. Y,
where he is now rector of Calvary
Protestant Episcopal church. Z
