Family Fear for Pastor Emer-

The Rev Robert Collyer, pastor
emeritus Of the Unitarian Church of
the Messiah, is seriously i'll at his
home, No. POI West 55th street. where
he has been confined to his bed for the
last two weeks. On account of his
great age-he is eighty-nine years old
fears are entertained as to his recov-
cry. and his family are constantly at
his bedside.
According to DR.. Robert H. Wylie,
the Collyer family physician, the aged
preachers complete recovery is i'm
possible. DR.. Collyer received a par
alytic stroke on November /. and but
for the fact that he is gifted with re-
markable vitality would probably have
succumbed.
The Rev. Robert Collyer is one Of
the most renowned men Of his profess
sion in this country. He was born in
England, and began life as a black
smith. He came to the United States
in 1S47, and has been associated with
the Church of the Messiah since 1879.
