NEW YORK. January 10.-Wan street &C.
CURED new wire service yesterday MORN
ing. when the Rev. DR.. Henry Marsh War
ren. the hotel chaplain. opened the business
of the day by transmitting prayer and good
counsel by telephone.
His statement was followed by a sharp
decline in Mammon preferred and there
was a depression in Golden Calf shares.
The market recovered quickly, however,
and within a few minutes after the eXhor-
tations of the clergyman had passed over
the metal strand there was a brisk rat

exchanges, which indicated that the bro

To Widen His Field.
1t is the ultimate intention of the clergy
man to have exercises in front of the stock
exchange, but that will not be until he
has perfected the simpler plans which he
has in mind. He will apply to the mayor
for a permit to preach before Mammon' S
temple, and if all goes well he will hold
at least one open-air service a week. The
curb brokers, who thought he would begin
hiS public services yesterday morning,
We're waiting for him to appear and stood

o'clock the new shepherd of the shorn from
his study in West oath street called up the
office OF Mrs. J. Alden Gaylord a dealer in
bonds, in the Mills building, and gave his
greetings to her and those of her financial
household.
Mrs. Gaylord is intensely religious and
it has been her custom for several years to
open the work of the day with devotions.
DR.: Warren became for the occasion not
only her chaplain, but also minister to all
the district. All the telephone receivers in
her rooms were taken down and so disposed
that the vibrations of the voice of the
clergyman could be distinctly heard. He
read from the twelfth chapter of Romans,
and verses 2, II, Is, II and 81. The Scrip
ture exhorted its hearers to be diligent in
business, to rejoice with those who rejoiced
and to return not evil for evil.
Responsive Reading
DR.. Warren then delivered brief SER
mon following the lines of the reading and
offered prayer for those in contact with the
many temptations and the stress of mod
ern commercial life Mrs. Gaylord used as
responsive reading the verses from Num-
bers vi from the twenty second verse to
the end of the chapter, in which blessing
is invoked upon Aaron.
The clergyman will consult with the man.
ayers of the telephone company to ascer-
tain what can be done for the extension Of
his services. The idea at frs Enade Wall
street QUiZZlcdl, Out tNc edrnSSt0eSS UlS-
played by the Rev. DR.. Warren and by
Mrs. Gaylord has made a deep impression,
and it is likely that it will find acceptance
In some quarters.
In of the rooms of Mrs. Gaylord DR.
Warren held a brief service at clock in
the afternoon. in which he addressed a
small group of men and women, most of
whom interested in the spiritual well
fare of the financial district.
Though Mr.. Warren is daily flooded with
calls for sympathy. his stock is inexhausti-
bic. Why, only today he said, "a young
man in the employ of the city came to me
for help. He had been in great trouble, and
1 able to comfort him and to talk
to the mayor about him. l think it will be
all right Then there is the of widow
who came to me in great tribulation Her
husband had died and she came to Wall
street to make some money and lost all she
had. ! got her a job and paid her fare to
Philadelphia. | am simply overwhelmed
with calls of this sort. Yes, it has been a
very busy day and tonight l have we'd
ding-a very remarkable wedding in many
ways"
