Tie Rev. Ernest Risley Eaton
Seeks Endowment for Refuge
for the Old and Poor.

Undauntcd BY the general cry tina,
this is no time % attempt 20 raise
money for special church efforts,
building campaigns and other enter
prises which do not contemplate the
relief of immediate and pressing dis
tress, the Rev. Ernest Risley Eaton,
young Baptist minister. is seeking 10
raise, almost unaided, $4,000 10
endow the Baptist Home Of the Aged
by January |. The major part Of this
fund has already been subscribed.
Mr. Eaton, who is only twenty-nine
years old, opened the campaign last
August, after war had been declared
and when 10 was generally conceded
that all men having any resources
would jealousy husband them. hr.
Eaton was warned that 10 start an ef-
fort at such time would be an act
Of supreme folly on his part, and
would foredoom the enterprise TO ha-
initiating failure. But he gritted hts
teeth and said he was quite sure thss
out Of all the boarded millions Of New
York enough dollars would be sur
rendered to guarantee the perpetuity
of the handsome establishment az llB
East Sixty-sixth 81.
The young clergyman came 20 New
York from Baltimore about three
years ago. lie was soon elected TO the
assistant pastorate Of Madison Ave-
nue. Baptist Church. This post he re-
signed 20 take up the cause of the
aged The position at the Madison
Avenue Church was permanent one
and paid comfortable salary, but
without any guarantee Of future en-
ployment and no pulpit Immediately
available he insisted that the re-
luctant congregation accept his resig-
nation.

and a nobler service" said the youth
full clergyman, "and | wouldn't hesi-

The influence Of the Reformed
Church was even more restrictive
upon the music employed in its own
service than IL was upon that practised
for social entertainment. The theolo-
cical tenets of Calvin were no more
authoritative than his injunctions con-
cerning the forms of service. The
paraphrases Of the Psalms began by
Marot were completed by Beza In 1862
and the metrical versions were set TO
old French tunes derived, as many OF
the German Lutheran tunes had been,
from secular songs. The Genevsn
Psalter provided the only musical serv-
ice that was tolerated IN the sanctu-
Any. and neither its words nor its mel
odies were to be altered. "Those songs
and melodies said Calvin, (which are
composed for the mere pleasure OF the
