America lost its most prominent
ehurehman last month in the death OF
the Right Reverend Henry Goldman
Potter, Bishop of New York. Bishop
Potter was born in Schenectady, Ne"
York, in 1884, and came of family
of ehurehmen, being the son OF Bishop
Alonzo Potter, of Pennsylvania, and
nephew of Bishop Horatio Potter of
New York. After an education in the
theological Seminary of Virginia he
was ordained deacon of st. Luke 9
Church, Philadelphia, in 1857. He re-
manned there two years, was for a
period minister of St. Johns Church,
Trov. and in 1866 moved to Boston TO
become assistant rector OF Trinity
Church. In 1865 he was appointed rec
tor of Grace Church, New York, IN
which capacity he began his close con-
neetion with institutional and, subse-
ouentlv. political work.
Declining the proffered bishoprie of
Iowa, the rector continued his WORK AT
Grace Church for seventeen years, TIL
January, 1884, when, having been
-aised to the episcopate as assistant
bishop of New York three months pre-
viously. he resigned to devote all ms
energies to the assistance of his uncle,
Bishop Horatio Potter. BY his uncle
death. in 1887, he succeeded to the
bishoprie.
Rishop Potter had a dry wit which
sometimes favored his sermons, but
was perhaps more interesting in his
private conversation. He was never
rituaIistic. He refused for short time
70 visit the most advanced of the rit-
ualistic churches. but his refusal arose
less from his objection to the services
than from the disobedienee of some Of
the clergy in persisting in praeticing
against his authority. He frequently
attended the most deliberately rituals
tic services wearing only his lawn
sleeves and black silk gown, however
ornate the vestments of the others
might be. 1t was after such service
that he met one of his old friends, a
woman active in the work of the do
,ese. but rather prejudiced against the
ritualistic practices:
"And You mean to say that you were |
1t that church, bisop7" she said to him |
me day. "Don't you know they call
hat man sFather'i Don't you think |
hat is outrageous9''
sob, / can't say that / do, Mrs. !
smith, was the deliberate reply of
he bishop. "He certainly has right |
o be called father. Everybody tells
ne that he has five very attractive
hildren. If five don t give a man the
light to that title I'd like TO know
low many it take"
This is an account of one of his ser
mons, which at the time created some /
hing like a sensation:
"The occasion was the centenary of
resident Washington s first Inaugural
ion, and President Harrison sat in the
ew that Washington had occupied be-
ore him, expecting an exultant and
address. Instead, the

implicitly of Washington's time 'the

lxury, the massing of large material

A QUEER CHASER.

DIR. John Duncan Quackenbos, New
York IS authority on hypnotism, was
discussing at his beautiful New Hamp-
shire estate on Lake Sunapee the alb
surdity of dreams.
''You must have noticed said DIR.
Quackenbos, "the absurd, the causeless
terror that a dream will sometimes
give you.

awake, ran into his wife's room in
the middle of the night, all shaken
with fear, all wet with the cold sweat
of an overpowering terror.
GO Oh,' he moaned. j have had
such dreadful dream. We been
chased round and round my room for
hours and hours by a piece of blotting

and manners, taking bigness for great
ness and sadly confounding gain and
godliness.' And then he denounced
Fthe conception of the national gov
eminent as a huge machine existing
mainly for the purpose of rewarding
partisan service, and asked what
Washington would have done if any
one had dared to approach him on the
basis of practical politics. "
A case in which he opposed large
body of public opinion was his as
sistanee in establishing the Subway
Tavern, the aim of which was to sup
ply food and notwithstanding drinks as
liquors under decent conditions-an en-
terprise which failed through the
notoriety that it evoked. He also came
into conflict with the Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union by advocating
the reestablishment of the eanteen In
military posts.
Eight years ago the great popular
movement which overthrow the Tam
many regime and installed Seth Low as
Mayor was inaugurated by Bishop Pot
ter's letter to Mayor Van Wyek, in
which he seathingly denounced police
protection of vice on the East Side of
New York City. He followed this up
by a noontime address in st. Paul's
Chapel entitled "God and the City, +"
in which he pleaded for the organiza-
ton of a body to combat civic corrup-
ton. The result was the formation of
the Committee of Fifteen, and the vic
tory of the reform element at the polls.
1t was after the marriage of Bishop
Potter and Mrs. Clark that the story
of his stepsons was told among his
friends:
"The second Mrs. Potter had several
sons who were grown up at the time
of the wedding, but much younger than
was their stepfather. Bishop Potter
also had several daughters. "'Do you
know, / think IN ask your daughters, |
Mrs. Potter said one day to her hus |
band, to call me Elizabeth, by my
fist name.
The bishop was eontemplative for a |
second "Perhaps you had better not |

able calmness. If you did maybe your
sons would want to call me Henry.
