/ beautiful, refined face of the divine
one recalls with sadness the strange
dispensation that made this man the
progenitor of one who was the beau
| ideal of his day, equal in intellect to
the greatest, beloved of women, a
very Bayard in courage and yet, in
moral qualities, the most unreliable
of mortals. The Rev. Aaron Burr S
own account of his conversion is dra-
matte. This hour" he says, "God
saw fit to open my eyes and show me
what miserable creature [ was.
Till then I had spent my life as in
a dream. And, as to the great design
of my being, I had lived in vain,
though before I had been under fire.
quent conviction and was driven to a
form of religion, yet I knew nothing
as I ought to know"
An Apollos in the Field.
Aaron Burr was called to the First
Church in 1886. time, as DIR. Stearns
says, of temptation and darkness
in the fold" His splendid personal
ity and strength of will and mind
at once made an ineffaceable i'm
preston. He was an Apollos in those
early days, preparing the field for
the harvest of Whitefeld, who came
to this part of the country less than
two years after the ordination of
Aaron Burr. Religious revivals
everywhere followed his ministra-
trations and, as one studies his coun-
tenance, than which none more noble
was ever painted, one cannot wonder
at his success. To use his own words,
as he preached "the word fell like a.
hammer and like fire." OF his labors
as first president of the College of
New Jersey, predecessor of the re-
nowned Jonathan Edwards, DR..
Stearns tells much, but it is unneces-
sary to repeat familiar history. All
those accomplishments which early
brought fame to Colonel Burr his
father possessed and he transmitted
| them directly. When he died, after
twenty years service in Newark and
New Jersey Governor Livingston in
his eulogy quoted these immortal
lines:
-"Of comfort no man speak,
Let's talk of graves and worms and
epitaphs;
~'@oNAS 0uob Jul paper anu WllIl rainy
eyes
Write sorrows in the bosom of the
earthi"
The same eulogist said of him that
what he preached in the pulpit he
lived out of it." In another place
Governor Livingston said, ITO have
all the qualifications that render a
man amiable or great, to be the
object of delight wherever one is
known, to possess learning, genius,
and sublimity of soul; can there be
greater blessing to the world?"
DR.. Stearns paints other portraits
of the incumbents in the pulpit of
the First Church with as much skill,
but in none does he show the same
deep personal enthusiasm as when
he takes up that of Aaron Burr.

METHOD|SM GROWS FAST IN EUROPE

Mid-July has seen the close of the
Worlds Sunday School Convention in
Zurich, Switzerland. Methodists are
proud of their representation at the
congress, as the Christian Advocate
confesses.
These bishops of the church attend
ed: Vincent, Nuelsen and Hartzell.
Among other eminent men of the
denomination there were DR.. Butcher
and Frank L. Brown.
The Christian Advocate says; "Bish-
op Nuelson, born in Zurich Method
list parsonage and now resident there
as general superintendent of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Eu-
rope, was the right man to impress
visitors with the Importance and
character of European Methodism.
Bishop Vincent, formerly resident
in Zurich. returned as the principal
guest of the convention. He is ac-
knowledged to be the first Sunday
School figure of his time. BishoI
Hartzell and Mr.. Brown had a lead
ing part in preparing the reports
on Sunday School work in mission
lands. To this subject the conven-
ton gave particular attention.

NEWS AND NOTES OF NEWARK CHURCHES
ITALIAN SCENE IN
. STREET IN NEWARK
Beautiful Children Celebrate
Feast of Our Lady of
Mount Carmel.

AS one passed down Ferry street
on Wednesday morning and arrived
at the plaza of the Church of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel at McWhorter
street the scene suddenly changed
One rubbed ones eyes. Had enehant-
ment been wrought: had the magic
touch of genie transported one to
the Neapolitan thoroughfare, Strada
|Nuova di Capodimonte?
The customary crowd in the busy
street was multiplied Winding in
and out in the throng were companies
of children. All wore white dresses,
wells of white chiffon fell over their
dark hair. and bright-hued ribbons
adorned their necks and waists.
The street was transformed. Gar
lands hung in festoons and electric
lights were ready to illuminate the
scene at night. The church facade
was shrine. It's outlines were COW
cred with paper, draped as If to rep
resent the form of the sanctuary.
Swarthy groups of men gesticulated
and velvet-eyed women never ceased
in their utterance of liquid, ener-
getic speech.
The occasion of this scene of ex-
'oitement and italian outburst? Why,
1t was the second part of the feast
of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, dear
to the heart of the Italian wherever
he may be and it was being cele-
brated- with due solemnity and en-
thusiasm in Ferry street. Within

Aaron Burr First churchs
Rare Volume from Press of the Daily Advertiser Now the Eve
ming Star and Advertiser Tells the Story of the Old Pres
byteran Fold and Describes the Virtues of Its Pastors.

From the office of the Daily Ad-
yertfser (now the Newark Evening
Star. and Daily Advertiser) in 1853
there issued a book entitled ''Histori-
cal Discourses." by Jonathan f.
Stearns, D. d. The work is published
on paper of calendared finish and is
printed in beautiful small plea type
of clear face, delightful to the eye
of the bibliophile. geographically 1t
Is a signal credit to the office which
now publishes the most popular paper
in Newark. The "discourses" deal
with the history of the First Pres
byterian Church, that now represents,
perhaps, the nearest approach in this
city to the modern idea of the church,
which is really the idea of the pa
tristic age.
Source of Newark's History.
AS DR.. Stearns says, the author
who would write the history
of Newark must really start by trac-
ing the early annals of the old First
Church. Even the affairs of the body
polite were bound up in the progress
of the church in early times. In the
ingly rare the pious author writes
with a simplicity and single
minded zeal which makes his book
as pleasant to read as Brewster's
"Recollections of Portsmouth" New
Hampshire). He is eager for accu-
racy and deplores the errors he finds
in DR.. MacWhorter's relations, whJ
relied wholly on tradition and his
own memory. Indeed, DIR. Stearns
had little. except tradition himself,
as all the ancient records of the
church had been destroyed when the
British occupied Newark In 1776. 1
have not space to give DIR. Stearnss
summary of the early history of New
ark, inextricably interviewer with
that of the First Church, the Oldest
organized Christian fold in New Jer-
sey. The First Dutch Church, in
Bergen, is older but it's organization
was incomplete and at first 1t had no
minister.
But the discourses have a higher
claim to literary recognition and re-
membrance than as mere annals of
the past. They embalm. as it were,
memories of historical characters
whose fame cannot die while the re-
public endures. Like Lodges "por-
traits" these personages live upon
the canvas of DIR. Stearns, though
only painted with the pen. Their
struggles, their triumphs, their piety,
their holy living and dying are re-
corded with a tender grace which
embodies an art that is lost.
zone generation passeth away and
another generation cometh!" is the
authors solemn introduction to each
of the chapters of his history. And
it seems, indeed, as if the divine
spirit and grandeur of Ecclesiastics
had descended upon him as he wrote
In his sixth portrait, that of the
Rev. Aaron Burr, he displays, per-
haps, the highest attributes as his
