welcomed those present and suggested that

suggestion whatever of money contribution.
This feature puzzled the Reverend Jere-
lniah, who later spoke of it to a man who
frequently travels to Albany on Sunday by
a through day boat. And this is the SUBJ
stance Of what he was told. For good
many years the Hudson Day Line refused to
run any boats on Sunday. But as condi-
ions Of life changed so materially, it was
deemed proper and necessary to institute
Sunday schedule. The president of the line,
r. f. olcott, recognized that new order Of
things had developed; that for one reason
or another great many people have to get
out of the city Sunday, and he thought
it possible that some of them might be glad
to spend forty or fifty minutes of the river
trip in singing familiar songs and in listen
ing to a few words tending to help them
forget, for little time, their daily cares and
worries. Mr. Olcott had no idea of urging
religious service upon any one. But he
felt it would be well to provide for those
passengers who wanted it an hour or less

souls as we'll as their bodies and their minds.
The Reverend Jeremiah started homeward
on the second Sunday of his visit to the
