T. Huntington $340.69 LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. A STORY OF DR. BISHSELX. Neat Retort He Made to Dr.

llwn, To the Editor of The Courant: There is a little story of Dr. Bushnell which I heard many years ago that I thought might be told at the meetings last Wednesday, but I did not hear it or see it in the report in "The Courant." My mother went to Savannah, with my invalid brother who had an alarming lung trouble. They were, in the course of the winter, invited out to the plantation of Rev. Charles Rogers. I think Mr.

Rogers had a throat trouble and could not have a parish, but occasionally preached. Being a native of Georgia his father gave him a plantation and a number of slaves. He was a very kind master and did all he could for his servants. He frequently came to Hartford in the summer, and he told my mother of this incident: Pr. Bushnell invited Mr.

Rogers to preach for him and he did. A few days after Dr. Hawes of the Center Church met Dr. Bushnell, and he said, "Brother Bushnell, why did you invite that sinner into your pulpit?" The quick reply came, "Brother Hawes, there is a sinner in It every Sunday. How is It with your pulpit?" Possibly some young people might not understand that many northern ministers forty or fifty years ago considered slavery such a sin that they would not invite a southern clergyman Into their pulpits if he owned, or even hired, slaves, and Mr.

Rogers was a slave-owner. H. City Ilrlefii. Eno, dispatcher for the Hartford Street Railway Company, who was stricken with scarlet fever six weeks ago, has recovered and has resumed duty at Exchange Corner. R.
