DIR. S. PARKES CADMAN

sumo the task of rehabilitating the old
Central Church in this city, which
changed it's name to the Metropolitan
Tabernacle.
He remained there five wears Aand
was called to the Central Congrega-
tlonal Church in Brooklyn. This had
been one of the houses of worship that
had given to Brooklyn a succession of
pulpit giants. Its work had grown SO
large that it had become necessary to
create second parish. DR.. Cadman
assumed the pastorate soon after THE
DIVISION. He proceeded to build up the
congregations to such an extent that
another division had to be decided
upon. Thus third church grew.
IN Brooklyn DR.. Cadman instantly
was hailed as a worthy successor of
the renowned Dr.. Behrends. Bv his
congregation he is regarded as the
greatest preacher Brooklyn has known
since Beccher. His church is always
thronged and it is no unusual thing
for DIR. Cadman to give as many as four
sermons and addresses on Sunday.
AT one time he was filling lecture
engagements two or three EVENINGS a
week, writing many articles for perodi-
calls, acting as temporary president of
Adelphi College and serving as pastor
OF his church. In addition he was the
chaplain of the 23d Regiment.
Finally he broke down under the
strain. His physicians demanded that
he give up some Of his activities. He
dld, but now is working almost as hard
as before the collapse.
He is not an impressive figure in the

Bureau to Help Girls
Keep Tabs on Youths
Aimed at Vice and Will Tell
Inquirers What Young Men
,ss Do in Idle Hours

OpecaoS correspondence
TAMPA, Fla, May 25.-Tampa men
are using a new form of salutation
when they meet. Instead of the plain,
old-fashioned "Good morning." it is
now: Good morning. How is your
morality to-day?"
Tampa's men generally take as a
joke the announced purpose of new
organization of 500 of the leading
women of the city, who have organized
the Women's Protective League with a
determination to stamp out vice and to
operate bureau where any young girl
can get information about the Young
man of her choice-how he has been
behaving and where he has been spend
ing his time after formal calling hours.
Heading this new organization is Mrs.
G. A. Webb, one Of Tampas society
matrons, mother of twelve children
and grandmother three times. In
spite of her large family she is young
looking, and is one Of the most active
women in the city.
Speaking of this detail of the
leagues work. Mrs. Webb said one of
the most prominent attorneys in Tampa
had volunteered his services, and that
in a few days the organization would
have postofice box where any young
woman might write and ask questions
concerning any man in whom she was
interested.
IF we can furnish information that
can be proved" Mrs. Webb said, "and
that we know to be correct, we will
have no hesitancy in doing so. If a
man is Objectionable it will not hurt if
people know it. Girls will be protected
in their inquiries, and will not be re-
quired to give their names or ad-
dresses. The league expects to answer
letters at any place designated"
Only seventy of the members of the
league will work openly, Mrs. Webb de-
clared, because the others have "old
reprobates" FOR husbands who will not
let them be active in such an organ

AS Pastor of Central Congre-
gational, Brooklyn, DR.. S.
Parkes Cadman Has Be-
come Community Force
Epigrams Widely Quoted
Carries a Human Note in His
Sermons, Sometimes Ten
der, at Other Times Stern

When Bfooklyn's old 23d Regiment
marched away for border duty a clergy
man in olive drab had a place on the
extreme left of the colonel's staff. He
made his way, putting every now and
then, and, under hot July sun, the per-
spiration flowed down his face. Craft
lily he looked round to see how the
others were standing it. They were
marching with chins we'll in, apparently
finding no hardship in the combination
of the scorching heat from above and
the hard pavemcnts below.
Finally there came halt. An order
cat easel" was given. DR.. S. Parkes
Cadman tore off his campaign hat and
mopped his brow.
"Thats the longest march have had
in years." he confded, laughing, to one
of his fellow officers "But I'm a SOL
dier and I'll stick"
DR.. Cadman was portly and bore any
thing but a clerical mien. Some years
before he had worn a mustache ard it
had concealed the lines of his mouth
When he went to the Central Congre-
allied he had the biggest proposition of
his life on his hands, and he stripped
for action. The mustache went Its re-
moval disclosed a determined mouth.
1t was the firm mouth of fighter. vet
at could break into a most winsome
smile
Mouth Symbol of the Man
Taking the mouth as a symbol, YOU
can read the character of the man.
He can be hard, almost bitter, when
the occasion demands. But when there
is call for tenderness, the smile
spreads all over his features.
1t is a tradition that Dr. Cadman
spent some time in his youth as a
miner. Somewhere, perhaps it was
down in the bowels of the EARTH DR..
Cadman early in life came face to face
with great issues. There he learned
more about mems souls than most men
ever learn, and his contact gave u him
wonderfully appealing note in his
preaching.
DR.. Cadman was born in Shropshire,
England. He was the son of a Wes-
leyan minister whose ambition was to
tulH 'he poy lhoughtS 10 the
pastorate.
Graduating from London University
he was licensed as Wesleyan
preacher. He came to New York City
when he was % years old and his Gre
dentials were sufficient to admit him
on trial in the New York Conference
for a year. At the end of the twelve
month he had made his mark and was
assigned to the Central Methodist
Church, Yonkers. He attracted hun
dreds to the Yonkers church and his
appeal was largely to men. They
focked to hear him because he seemed
to understand their problems.
After two years he was asked to as

the sincerity of his character and the
reality of his faith. 1t is much to be
able to say of any man to-day, espe-
cially of one in high office, charged
with great responsibilities, that the
chief note Of his life was his simple
goodness and his desire to do Gods
will"
The Rev DR.. Ernest M. Stires chose
for his text at ST. Thomas's "The Lord
hath sought him man after his own
heart" manner of speech which, he
said, was applicable to the character
of the late Bishop Greer as it was to
that of David.
"You will not think it strange" he
said, that I find at least relation
ship at heart between David the king
and our dear Bishop. Surely the chief
pastor of this diocese was a man after
Gcd's own heart. He was a man in
spired by glowing faith. In all his
revealed the windows of his own soul
and all of them opened to God
His faith made him an optimist
and an enthusiast. He never failed
to take the large view. He could see
dlttlcultles, but he saw that the in
spirations were greater. Whatever
ought to be done could be done, and
he was ready TO begin at once. He
always was builder, and difficulties
disappeared when the man of faith
advanced"
The Right Rev. Charles e. Burch,
Suffragan Bishop of New York, paid
a tribute to BiShOD Creer in an od =
dress following the confirmation SER
vices at the Church of the Transfig-
uration.
"You are starting out this afternoon
as builders Of character, as builders
of spiritual existence said Bishop
Burch. "The late Bishop Greer was
one of the greatest builders I have
ever known. Every one who came in
contact with him recognized him as a
builder, building influence"

 Mr. kilbourne inquired if pr, Mar tin was authorized by the young Wo- men to have tho charges given out publicly. pr. Martin replied that he had the authority. ''The teachers want the public to know the reasons why they are discharged. he said. Mr. Roche agreed with MT. Kilbourne that the committee had nothing to gain by giving out the reasons and that the young women would suffer. He believed that the reasons ought not 10 be made public unless the teachers desired it.
 Upon taking a vote, the amend ment was lost. MT. Andrulewicz then moved that the election of the teach CTS of the t,Ihu Burritt school be tabled until a hearing was given the two teachers. This was also defeated, and Miss Dunn and Miss BYrne were not re-appointed for the coming year.

 MT. Mucckc Admitted
 Soon after the meeting was called to order by Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, chairman, the commissioners were in> formed that Ernest Muecke had re- quested permission to appear before the board. MT. Andrulewicz moved to give him a hearing. and his resolu~ ton was seconded by Dr. Martin Judge Gaffney called attention to the fact that a great deal of important business had to be transacted and that the time was limited. MT. Nib- berts amended the resolution, moving to give MT. Muecl1e five minutes III which to speak, which was accepted.
 Before allowing Mr. Muecl1e 10 ap- pear before the board, Mr. Pease said that the commissioners ought to know whether Mr. Muecke was going to speak on business pertaining to the subject before the board. Mir. Xiii
 bourne desired to know whether it was necessary to hear Mir. Muecke; as the procedure was unusual. Upon re-
 quest of the board, Superintendent
 Holmes left the meeting and inter-
 viewed MT. Muecke. The commission
 CTS were informed that Mr. Muecke desired to speak on behalf of the two teachers and to protest against Super intendent Holmes recommendation not to reappoint them. MT. Vibberts remarked that the teachers commit tee had not reported yet. Mir. An drulewicz argued that MT. NIuecke should be given an opportunity to speak and that no harm would be done in hearing him.
 Protests Are Presented.
 MT. Mucckc was called before the board. He presented a petition from the Parents and Teach CTS ! association containing many sigma lures which he said he wished the board to consider before any action
 was taken regarding Miss nnnn and Miss Byrne. MT. Muecke said that the parents had the highest regard 1 for the abilities of the two instruc- 1 tors and were desirous that the board should take cOgnizance of their re- { quest. When it was learned that the 1 two teachers were to be dropped. he 1 said. a petition was circulated and the parents signed their names. He was l sorry that the members of the board l were not out with him while they can 1 Vassed the city. Three ladies secured l the signatures, he said. Unless ac- 1 tion is taken by the school board to I retain the young women," said i Muecke q am afraid that the par ] ents will lose interest in the school.

is any question in the minds of you gentlemen as to the ability or moral fitness of either of these two young women," said Mr. Sexton. "They should be engaged for tho coming year, he continued. "If this board does not engage them, these young women go out into the world with their character assailed. Certain in uendos have been made. Now, what we want to know is what these charg- es are and If there are no charges why the teachers shouldn't be rc-engaged. In all justice, these young ladies are entitled to a hearing. If this matter were in court the constitution of the United States aS we'll as the Constitu- ton of your own state would obli2e a hearing. That is all we expect and in all justice 10 these young women, if there are no charges to be brought against them they should be re-cn- gagged. Most of you arc fathers of children and if your daughters were these whose names have been about the city for the past two weeks, 1 know that you would feel that they were entitled to a hearing. In the name of justice I ask a hearing if there are any charges against them
 
 French and Fowler Reappointcd.
 The board proceeded to elect the teachers for the coming year, the sec retary cast a ballot for the election When the name of Principal William c. French was presented, pr. Martin moved that his name be dropped. The motion was not seconded, and Mr. French was elected on the original motion. Again when the name of Principal Fowler was presented, Dr. Martin moved that his name be elim- mated The amendment was not sec onded, and Principal Fowler was re- appointed.
 Miss Eallon Also.
 When Commissioner Traut offered ;t resolution rcappointing the super visors, pr. Martin moved to have Miss Ella Fallon dropped, MT. Andrule- wicz seconded the motion. Miss ITal- lon was reelected.
 In voting upon the teachers in the grades, MT. Andrulewicz moved to have each school considered separate ly. When tho instructors in the Elihu 1 Burritt school were brought up for l consideration, Mr. Andrulewicz made i a motion to include the names of Miss i Dunn and Miss Byrne. Judge Gaffney 1 said that before such action could be ] taken it would be necessary to drop 1 the names of two other teachers. MT l Andrulewicz was agreeable to let the teachers committee decide which two 1 should be dropped.
 Unfair to Give Reasons.
 Lawyer Roche said that the matter
 ought to be brought to a head. He i wanted to know why the names of the two teachers were not included in the
 list and why they had been dropped.
 Judge Gaffney replied that if the req
 sons were given out they would be l printed and would be given much 1 publicity. MT. KilbOurne remarked
 that this procedure would be unfair to
 the teachers.
 Dr. Martin took the floor and said
 that the teachers were not given a
