Sketch Of Bishop Greer.

The Ri. Rev. David Humnell Greer,
Protestant Episcopal bishop of New
York, was one of the most active and
influential EpiSeopalian leaders in the
United States. ST. Bartholomew
parish in New York city he built up
from obscurity to one OF the richest
and largest working church plants in
the country.
The keynote of activity which
marked Bishop Greer's years of labor
was sounded in 1888, when he was rec
tor of Grace church in Providence, R.
l., and when the pulpits in two parishes
in New York waited upon his word OF
acceptance. Considering the opper
tunities he then said:
st. Thomas Con Fifth avenue) has
| its pews full has large congrega ton
and does an active work! at St Bar
tholomew's Con Madison avenue) half
the pews are vacant. its congregation
is small and it's resources undeveloped.
/ shall have more to do there; | shall
have to work harder; therefore 1 am
going there"
| The great amount of work necessary
to bring about the advance of the
parish of st. Bartholomew stamped
DR.. Greer as an able administrator. He
possessed a knowledge of human ma
I ture that made him an idol among
thousands of the poor whose better
ment he persistently sought. and al
the same time he allied himself with
the wealth and culture of the city, win
ming the confidence of such families
as the Vanderbilts and Morgans. Trim
ity parish with its accumulated mil
lions possessed greater wealth. but II
proportion to its size st. Bartholo-
news was the richer.
I 1t was said at one time. during g
financial stringency when there was e
great deal of suffering in New York
that the rector gave practically his en-
, tire salary to the poor. At the COM
pletion of his work as rector of st
Bartholomew in 1904 he left as ar
outstanding evidence of his labors the
parish house, which is one of the
largest church institutions in Ameri-
ca. 1t, numbered among its feature:
an employment bureau. boys and girls
!; clubs, a surgical clinic, an eye and eal
dispensary, a loan association ant
: penny provident fund, a free coal ant
wood depot roof garden. seaSid,
cottage for the children and a grocer!
where food was sold to the poor a
cost.
Bishop Greer accepted the election
as coadjutor bishop of the diocese o
New York after having declined thre'
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island ant
Pennsylvania. On the death of Bishop
Henry c. Potter in 1908, Bishop Gree
became the head of the diocese.
!, Next to his ability as an admins
traitor and organizer. probably Bishol
Greer's most prominent characteristic
was his extreme democracy He wa
spoken of as a bishop without trap
. pings" 1t was said at the time of hi
conservation as bishop that until h
had been invested with the office h
had never worn nay of the habiliment
!. of the sacerdotal Office. He gave a
his reason for this that the livery o
the church was a concession to hi
own weakness and he was said to hav
made the statement that if he coul
not, by his own bearing and conduct
impress men as being different fror
themselves he did not care to max
them pretend by artificial means tina
he was.

CHURCHES HOLD
SPECIAL SERVICES
Palm Sunday Observed and
Series of Holy Week Ex-
ercises Begun

Services of praise and thanksgiv-
ing marking the entrance of Christ
into Jerusalem, were held in vir-
tually every Christian church in the
city last night in observance of Palm
Sunday. Many churches had spe-
cial sermons in the morning, and in
the evening ministers preached SER
mons opening a series of Passion
Week services to continue through
the coming week.
Among the sermons delivered was
that of DIR. Clayton Albert Smucker.
pastor of the Stevens Memorial
Methodist Church. Thirteenth and
Vernon streets. at the morning serv-
ice. Speaking on the subject. The
Coming World Triumph of Christ"
he said in part:
Jesus Christ comes to humanity
with the religion which appeals to
the worlds common sense. His
theme is The Kingdom of God.
That kingdom is within you, not in
mountain or temple, not in shrine
or ritual. but in humanity. He
simplified religion. He took it out
of the realm of speculation and put
it in the realm of experience, took it
out of the realm of mysticism and
put it in the realm of affection. He
attracted mems eyes away from
idols and fixed them on Christianity,
which transcends all speculation and
philosophy and widens existence in
to new meanings and grander possi-
bilities. The world welcomes Jesus
Christ with that 'Hosannah' which
seems like the bursting of humanity
eternal rob of despair into an i'm
mortal song of hope"
Last evening folks were attracted
to the Stevens church to hear the
minister on "Ruth-Love in the Bar
told in very interesting way to the
large number of sweethearts who
attended the Sweetheart Night
Meeting"
a cantata was presented in St
Stephens Episcopal Church last eve-
ming, marking the congregation
observance of Palm Sunday. Dr.
Lewis S. Nudge delivered an inspir-
ing sermon in the Pine Street Pres
| byterian Church on 1.-The Hero's
Heroism.' in which he spoke of the
crucifixion of Christ and the contents
of the cup he drained. A feature
of the services was the beautiful
singing of the quartet choir, whose
personnel includes Mrs. Roy G. Cox
! soprano: Mrs. James G. Sanders, con-
, lieiilO, L. tchOI, dht
| Elmer II. Ley, bass. The quartet
sang two noble Palm Sunday selec-
tions, a beautiful setting of THE
| Twilight Shadows FALL (Barri-
| Shelley); and Tertius Mobiles in
spring GO to Dark Gethsemane."
In many churches of the city the
call of suffering Armenia was pre-
sented. A feature of the services
was the reading of an appeal fol
subscription to the Victory Loans
the city.

New York, April 14.-Only five out
of twenty-five principal groups
throughout the country reported
condition of general business pros
perity in replies to a quesuonnalre
sent to its 400 members by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
A digest of the replies, issued by the
association, showed that sixteen out
of the twenty-five groups into which
its membership was divided reported
business below fifty per cent. of
normal prewar conditions. The sew
enteenth, leather and leather manu-
facturers, reported trade about
equally divided between fair and
good.
In response to a request for sug-
gestions to help general prosperity,
the replies enumerated a total of
eleven obstacles lying in the path OF
return to normal conditions.
Reasons For Lull
Delay i'll signing the treaty of
peace.
General high cost of labor and
material.
Sudden cessation of war buying
operations by the United States and
foreign governments.
Hand TO mouth buying by job
bers, retailers and consumers await
ing expected price reductions.
Continued government control,
management and operation of rail-
road, etc.
Sudden imposition of heavy war
revenue tax burdens on industry.
Labor unrest, agitation and i'll
dustrial strife.
High prices of wheat due to gov
ernment guarantee.
Unemployment and poor distribu-
tion of labor forces released from
naval or military service.
Delay in settlement by Federal
government of claims for payment
under informal war contracts.
Partial shutting of of important
European markets due to import
trade embargoes by Great Britain,
France and Italy.
The digest thus summarizes the
opinions of the association members
as to what is needed to promote ma
tional prosperity and a return to
normal business conditions.
What Is Needed
Stop wartime eXtraVaganCe: re-
turn the railroads and the wires to
! the owners; modify taxes on indus
