Rev. Thomas B. Gregory of BROOKLYN.
N. T., occupied the pulpit of the Upiyer-
salist church last Sunday after an absence
of about IS years. He came here in 1888
from Portland, Michigan, and resigned in
November. 1885, going to Biddeford, Me.
He preached for time in Chicago, but
for several years he has resided in Brook
| lyn devoting most of his time to literary
| work for newspapers and magazines. He
also lectures frequently and on recent
occasion was introduced as "a man with
million of friends" His audience Sun
day morning was one of the largest to
convene in that church in recent years,
including few of his former parishioners
and many of his personal friends of for
mer years. He took for his text, "Watch.
man, tell US of the night" Speaking
without notes he is eloquent, fearless in
expression, has an unusual amount of
ready wit, and without the least hesi-
fancy hits the point with an apt illustra-
tion. He asserted that 'it is still night"
but recounted the progress made in many
ways since he last spoke to a Belfast
audience. He is an exponent of free
thought and gives every church and de-
nomination credit for the good they &C
complish.
