For seventeen years the society haa worshiped in the little frame building in New York avenue, corner of Herkimer Btreet, that was originally erected for an Episcopal congregation When their numbers grew aud their prosperity increased they decided to put up a larger and more pretentions structure This decision haa been admirably and extensively carried out and the society now has a maeniflcont property occupying tho entire New York avenuo block, bounded by Dean and Bergen streets. The proporty represents a flnaucial outlay of about $200,000 and consiats of a church, Sunday school buildings and parsonage, threo diatinct buildings, bnt all roprosonting a united front. Tho parsonaeo has beon occupied now several months, but the other buildings will bo entered to day for the first time for the usob for which they havo beon erected A diatinguishing feature of tho last Sunday tho congregation passed in their old homo on New York avenue, corner of Herkimer street, was a laymen's platform meeting, at which interesting and suggestive reminiscenoos, extending back to the very origin of tho society in tho early fifties, wero indulgod in.

The object is to strengthen tho diocesan union and arrange for a practical plan of action during the coming winter season.

Tho recent national convention in Washington recommended a broadening of the linns' of those organiaationa. The formation of reading circles and othor literary features, aa well as attention to the cultivation of athletic snorts, was specially recommended. No doubt tho different Brooklyn associations will enter heartily in all theso projects of mental and physical culture.

Aline sermon, appropriate to the occasion, was pre ached by tho Bov. P. F. O'ftare, or St. Anthony's, Brooklyn.

A pleasant incident in conneotion with tho cornerstone laying occurred in tho rooming. Soon after dawn threp little boys, apparently between 8 and 10 years old, wero neon to steal up to the cornerstone and do posit something in the receptacle cut in the block for tho reception of the usual documents, and then run away. Investigation showed a piece of paper in which wero folded throe pennies and on the paper was written in a childish hand, "From Tom, Willie and Diak, Ootober 12."

The Patrolrann Proves Too Much for tho Son geant and History Itself In' tsincc3 of Astuteness In Olden Tfmci Beneath a Spreading Chestnut Tree Two Sparrow Chasers Stood. Captain Gorman ahd Sergeant Hamilton, of tho Sixteenth, havo taken tho little incidout which occurred a woek ago to day too much to heart.

What if a patrolman did aeok rest for his woary fnimo in the Dackroom of a saloon, and what if he did aub'eqUotirlr mako his escape and after going through a variety of gymnastic performances reappear oil post aud look ns innocent aa if he had been attending to his duty all tho time. Such thincs'liave happened beforo and will happen agaiu many a time. Sergeant Hamilton is disgruntled eianso ho did not actually see tho officer in tho aaloon, and Captain Gorman feels bud on account1 of tho publicity which has been given to thpaifnir. Everybody elsa looks upon the matter aa a good joke. Iu theold days, and Sergeant Hamilton reraembsrs thom very well, hairbreadth, escapes wero ao common that they attrncted scarcely any attontion.

Patrolmen tool; great ri ks in' those timet, audit they did occasionally fall inti tho hands of thoir pui'aiiera they regarded this a's the fortune of war and took their mediciria'' iu a proper aud becoming spirit. One very cold afternoon, aome fifteen years ago. a certain officor who ia still on the foroo Bought shelter iu a livery stable from the biting blasts which wore yhistling along Columbia street. Ho was at liomo thero at any time and ho waa boginning to feci quite oomfortabla whon one of tho helpers reported that the eergeant waa atanding on tho Bido of the streot and that he seemed to; bo watahing for so mebody. Half an hour went by, but tha sergeant did not move.

Tho patrolman, having arrived at the conolusion that it waa all up with him, was about to leave the stable whon the proprietor, Btruek by a happy inspiration, told him to wait a mo montaiid he would straighten things out. Then an old hearse, which had not boon used for mauy years, was dragged from ita coiner and the frightened oflioor waa told to got into it. Ho did bo, and when he had been properly covered up with a blanket a team of boraos waa attachod to the feather a driver jumped up on tha Beat and away wont tho wholo outfit up Columbia stroet and around'a corner to tho ond of tho trolman'a post. Tnqn ho got out and about twouty minutes afterward he was able to meet his sergeant, who wai. still standing in the sam9 spot, without a trace of guilt upon hia haudsome brow.

On another occasion an officer found himself besieged in tho Catharino ferry house. Tho sergeant guarded the only way of egreaa by land, ao, perforce, he had to make hia escape by water. He took tho noxt boat to New York, and, feeling hungry whon he reached tho othor side, went into a coffee and cake cafe. Ho remained thero about an hour, and aa he was going out was almost paralyzed to boo the aorgoant, whom he had left in Brooklyn, seated at a table in a corner, where he waa enjoying aomuthiug hot. By tho exercise of much ingenuity ho managed to mako his escape without Doing obBOrvod.

Subsequently he discovered that it waa the sergeant's custom to pay a visit to tho coffeo and cake placo at a certain hour ovory morning, and thereforo reasoned that ho need not havo been so very much afraid, after all. On thia particular occaaion his superior had seon a blue coat in the ferry house and wag loath to venturo inside himself until informed that tho coast was clear. Patrolman McDonough. of tlio Second, weighs 185 pounds, iB 5 foot 11 inches in height, squart shouldered and eroct and fairly good looking, withal, and therefore he should bo exousod for occasionally stopping in front of aBtoroorcab window for tho purpose of taking an obaorvatlon of himself in tho glass. Still ho must be careful, for ex Detectivo Powers, who is now in the museum business, is on tho lookout for curiosities and will have them even if he has to use forco to got them into his hands.

One Bunny afternoon last week two park policemen, one a sergeant and the other a patrolman, stood under a spreading chestnut treo at the lower end of the long meadow. Up among tha branoh08 wa8 a stalwart laborer, who, encouraged by the shouts of a score of children, waa knocking off tho nuts with a cart rang. Tha boys and girls laughod and scroaui9d and scrambled, but the two policemen were preternaturally grave. Theira waa the duty to bos that ona youngBter got no more of what waa falling than anothor, and woll did they carry it out. It took two honra to get the harve.it in, but during all that time neither of these conscientious mou evon looked at hia watch.

Captain McNamara ia to bo congratulated on hia staff. Ilia officers work just aa well whon he ia miles away as whon he iB on tho spot. Groat are tho sparrow polico uieu. They are the poople. Inspector Beilly wa3 standing at tho aornsr of Court and Joralemon streota tho other day, when a man whom he had known in former years and bofore his young life waa blighted by mixed drinks approached him and Baid, in a sort of frightened whisper: "Inspector, I want you to staud by mo.

Ever since I waa elected mayor I have beon shadowed by a gang of high binders, who I know are just thirating for my blood. I wanted to go to my office now, but there, right on tho atep3 of the city hall, wero twelve of theso thugs, each armod with a scytbo and a two inch auger. They looked innocent enough and wore pretending toi catch flies, but they couldn't fool me. Now what I want you to do to have tho wholo lot arrested. In ciso they should havo nut away thoir scythos and augers you can easily tell 'em by thoir ciothea.

Thoir trousers and hats are different, but' thoir coata aro all the same. They are red, with facings, and aro tittod with pockots bstwemi tho shoulders." The inspector gave hia word that tho cut throats should ho iu chains inside iof half an hour, and tha mayor, aftor remorking that tho amoko from tho sidewnlkB was unusually thiok, went off to sell Bishop Longhlin a dog. It was intended al tirat that the polioo window to bo plaoed in the Besohor memorial church should not cost morn than $350. Contributions, from policemon only iwero invited, and, bohold, something very liko J5 00 rolled in. Those in charge of the affalr.

at first puzzled aa to what should be dona, with the extra money, but it was finally decided. that if tho uolice were go. ing to put in a window at all they might aa woll put in a good ono. So thoro will be no trouble about getting rid of the second $250. In afew days a committee will bo appointed to select a design.

Whatevor'the ono chosen may be, thore will have to be at least ono policeman iu it. Thia will be something entirely now in stainod glass.

Ills Comintr Orchestral Concerts of Notional Music Works to Heard for the Mrst Time in This City and New Eotfc.

One of tho busiest men in the city, or anywhoro else for that is 0. Mortimer Wiske, the mnsioal conductor, whose pioture is givon below. Mr. Wiske has three new enterprises ou his hands this winter aud every evening and many of his afternoons are engaged for the Beaaon for rehearsals and concerts. An Eagle reporter found hup.

the other morning at his homo on Macon street, looking ovor material for tho programmes of hia six orchestral concerta to be given at the Academy of Muaic in thia city. "I have long had auoh a sories of concerts in mind," Mr. WiBke said. "I have been several yeara making preparations for them and first announced my course last May. My idea haa been to furnish aomething between the vooal and chamber concerts, of which the City has ao many, and the fine concerts of the Philharmonic society, aomething like tho Wednesday matinees which tho Philharmonic used to give several seasons ago, concerts that would popularize good muaio and oultivate musical taato for tho great works whioh the Philharmonic society gives.

Now York has orchestral concerts of all sorts and Bhades Seidl concerts, Thomas concerts, symphony concorta. Van dor Stucken conoertB, Franko concerts and chambor concerts. Heretofore we have been dopondont on tho Philharmonio society, whioh has dono a noble work for Brooklyn and done it with the 0. MOBT1MER WIBKE. single idea of furnishing tho cityjvith tho boat orchestral muaic I do not wish to clash with or injure tho Philhormonio concerts in any way," Mr.

WiBke added, "but I feel sure that my present plan doea not eonfliot with theirs. There has nover boon good music in Brooklyn on any middle ground. For students and young people who wore not yet ready to appreciate tho Philharmonic concerts there Jias been nothing. That field I propose to fill with a series of sii concerts of national musio Frenoh, English, Italian. American, German and one conoert for tho oom poBera of the other countries of Eastern and Northorn Europe.

I shall give worka by the representative composers of oaoh of these nations musio that will appeal to popular appreciation and will at the same time define and illustrate tho national school. Sueh an arrangement iB entirely new in Brooklyn and no such concerta havqboon given in New York for yeara, yet musio 60 arranged muat have a greater educational value and be moro intelligible than where tho same music is given with tho composers of half a dozen countries combined on th6 Bamo programme. I shall have Theodore Thomaa' orchestra with fifty men and Bendix for concert maater. My soloists will be Miss DeVoro.Mra. Baron Andoraon, William Courtney, Anna Mooney Buroh.

Louis Mollon hauer, Maud Powell, Francis Fischer Powers, Theodore Reichmann and Adelo Ana Dor Oho, and my prices will be lower than suoh concerts have ever been given for here. As you will see from that list, I am spending a great deal of money, but I have faith that the public will appreciate and support the enterprise." Tho dates for the concerts aro Novomber 17, December 22, January 20, February 23, March 23 and April 13. The only programme yet definitely fixed is for the oponing French conoert. This will give muaio by Gounod, Massenet, David, Gil let, Saint Baens, Ambroise Thomas, Godard, Delibes, Bizet and Berlioz. Gounod will be represented by the march from "The Queen of 91i6ba;" MaBsonet by the ballet music from "The Cid:" Saint Saons, by the ballet musio from "Henry Bizet, by the "L'Arlesionno" suite, and Berlioz by threo numbers from "Damnation of FauBt." None of thia music ia absolutely new in America, but it has been heard by comparatively fow people, and all of it ia good enough to make a second or third hearing enjoyable.

Miss DeVoro will sing. The English programme will introduce several compositions by representative Englishmen to the Amerioan public Tho composers to be repreaonted are Mackenzie, Cowen, Benedict, Sullivan, Gadsby, Sterndale Bennett, Daniel Godfrey, H.tmish MoCunu, Oliver King and Barnby. Louis Mollenhauor will play a new violin concerto, "Pembroke," by Mac Kenzio, with which he ia greatly ploaaod; the Sullivan number will be hia Memoriam overture, never given horo; two movements of Oowen'a "Welsh" symphony will be played; Oliver King will bo represented by "Among the Pines," and Hamish McOtmu by a descriptive piece, "Tho Land of the Both of these' are now namos. MoCunn is only 33 years old and Mr. Wiske regards him aa the moat promising of English com noaers.

Mrs. Baron Anderson will sing an old Engliah song and some more ambitiong number. Mr. WiBko thinka that any ono who doubta the existence of an Amerioan school of music should boo tho pile of now compositions urged upon him for production at his American concert. Not all tho desirable workB can be given, of course, and the selections are not yet made.

Two numbers are fixed, however. One is Dudley Buok's "Star Spangled Banner'' overture, which Seidl playod at Brighton Boaob ou July 4, and tho other is a violin concerto which Harry Rowo Shelley has written during tho summer for Mande Powell, and which Miaa Powell will play. J. K. Paine will probably be represented by hia "Island Fantaaie" and a string pioeo by Robert Thallon and Bomothing by E.

0. Phelps may, perhaps, be given. Mr. Wiske haa revived this soason the New York ohorua society, and will give three concerts at tbe Lenox Lyceum in New York, producing four worka that have never been heard in Now York or Brooklyn. The NoWs York oborna society was organized in 1880 by Thoodore Thomaa, with Mr.

Wiske as ohorua mastor, and continued until 1885, when it disbanded at tho organization of the American opera company. It waa started with the idPa of producing works that had not been heard in America. During its existence it gave Gounod's V'ltedemption." Mackenzie's "RoBe of Sharon," and the greater part of "Par sifal." Since tho diabandmont of the society but ono new choral work has been given in Now York, Brull'a mass, sung by the Ora society. Mr. WiBke will renew tho traditioos of tho Bociety by giving four worka new to Now York and Brooklyn.

On December 4 Sullivan's "Goldon Legend" will be given. It haB been sung three timoa at the Worcester, festivals, and in soveral small Amerioan citioa, and wherever it haa been heard thero havo been demands for ita repetition. Tho Choru3 pocioty's cast will include Clomontina Do Vero, as Elsie; Hattie Clapper Morria, as Ursula: William J. Lavin, aa Henry, and Carl Dufft, as Lucifer, On February 5 the Booioty will givo Maasonet'a a short, rich composition, with Anna Mooney Burch, Franoia FiBoher Powers and D.

Burch, Mr. Powers, Mr. Woodruff, Helen Dudley Campbell and G. S. Lamaon.

At tho last concert, April 22, will be produoed Dr. C. H. H. Parry'a oratorio "Judith." The so loists have not yet been Belocted because it is too oarly to toll what singers may bei.in the country and available.

Edward Lloyd, the English teuor who sang in America laat year, and who was in tho original caBt of "Judith," says it is the greatest work over written by an. Englishman.

There are fow artistB who have not had an unpleasant experience with publiahera, for there aro as many pirates in the book and papor and magazine buBinea3 as there aro in theatricals, thongh tho authors, as a class, aro greater Biiffer era from thoso people than tho artists.

George W. Bardwell, a Brooklyn artist, has just hud an unpleasant exporionce with a concern in Indianapolis that publishes a magazine claiming a circulation of 10,000 a month, but that dooa not seem to make enough out of it to pay its bills. Ho mado a drawing for this firm which waa accepted and publishod. On sending tho bill ho was informed that his prioo waa too high, that tho firm never pa.d over S3 for a drawing of the size. Accordingly this ridiculous prioo was accepted.

After a silenno of aoveral weoka inquiry was mado by mail why tho bill was not paid, when tho firm repliod that anothor manuscript had been forwarded for illuatration and that both pioturea would be paid for on the completion and acceptance of tho aecond. This second manuscript, if Bent, was never received, nor can any trace of it ho found at tho Brooklyn post office, and thia concorn now refuses to pay until an alleged manuscript, which tho artist never had, or even ia returned to tho publiahoro. If this the usual oonrBO of procedure with this firm in paying its artists, as would seem quite likely from Mr. Bardwell's expsrionco; if pictures can be accepted and published and their payment re fused on a mere assertion of the publisher that matter haa been forwarded whioh the artist has not returned, but whioh. iu fact, ho has nover received and probably never was sent, it is proper that such business methods should become known, and measures have been taken to post these Hcallawags in tho sohools and clubs whore students and artists congregate.

It is time that a mutual alliance of artista and authors was formed againBt tho swindlers in the book trado who never pay for anything and agaihat those financially oapable but miserly people who "pay after publication" and often Keep a manuscript for yoara, Booming never to think that an author could bo entitled to interest on his work when ho cannot have his principal. In his paper, the Studio, Clarence Cook has mado thiB hold pronouncement: "People run away from New York because it is dirty, wanting in opportunities for out of door enjoyment, and far behind any othor city of tho world in means for intellectual enjoyment and improvement. All these drawbacks could be romovod if the citi zens of Now York wore of ono mind in their do termination to removo them. But, unfortunately, thia ia far from being the case. The causes of this indifference run in a cirelo.

First we have the majority of tho well to do, educatod citizens, absorbed in their pursuits and pleasures, indolently withdrawing from all participation in the business of government, except so far as voting if they vote at all a straight tickst at such times as the party seoms in danger ot reform. Next, wo have the condition of things that comes naturally from loaviug the control of the city government to tho masses 'them Cariolanus Knickerbocker would aay. And, lastly, we havo tho won to do ann educated citizens fleeing with one consent from the results of thoir own criminal negligence. The concern of the Studio is naturally with the (esthetic side of this question But, in roality, the aesthetic aido cannot bo separated from the other and cultivated by itself. Cleanliness and convenience aro absolutely necessary to the beauty of a city.

Parka, Hardens, public squares, fountains, trees, handaome buildings, aro neces sary, too, but wo can better do without thoso than wo can without cleanliness and convenience. We cannot think that the filthine33 of our streets and the inconvenient arrangements that hinder ua in our comings and goings nro no concern of ours; that our domain lies exclusively in the round of mattors that como technically under the head of art. On the contrary, wo have alwaya felt and always taught that art is as largo a word as religion or politics, and that to be of any aig nifieaneo it must havo a charter as largo in its way as theira."

Henry Ward Beeoher's Assistant Pastor for Twenty Yeara The Career of Rcy. S. B.

Halliday Tho Epl dcmlo of Ministerial Resignations The Eagle Almanac Editor's Call for Local Church Siuttstlcs Catholic Notes. The. portrait in this column to day is that of ono of Brooklyn's ruoat familiar pastors, tlio ltov. Samuel 13. Halliday, of the Bocchor momorial Congregational church, Horkituer Btroot, near Btono avonuo, especially well known as Henry Ward Bcocher's assistant in Plymouth oburoh for a period extending ovor tho last twenty years of that distinguished divine's lite.

Mr. Halliday was born in Marristown, N. June 5, IS 12, and is, therefore about four score yonrs old. Despite thia cood old age, bowevor, Mr. Halliday is still prosecuting work with a vigor and activity of which a much youngor man might well bo prond.

His fatbor was a mechanic and a farmer and bo commanded a brigade at Sandy Hook in tho war of 1812. His father beforo him, whocamoto thiB country from Scotland about twenty yearB bofore tho outbreak of the revolutionary and Bottled lu Orange County, tins state, also bore arms for this country, having been killed at the battle of Fort Montgomery in his adopted country's struggle for independence. Mr. Halliday'u ancestors on the maternal sido came over in the Mayflower and were related ou one side to John Alden. Mr.

Halliday was the fifth of seven children, four sons and three daughters. His earliest years were spent in hiB native town, helping his father on the farm in tho spring and summer and attending school in the winter. Tho family remowd to New York, when ho was 13 years old and for several years immediately thereafter waa oniplcvcd as a 4, J2 i THE HEV. B. D.

HAIiUDAT. clerk in a New York store. Whon 17 years of age bis attention was especially directed to the ministry by the great revival of 1820 and 1830 in New York. He then commenced preparatory studies with that object in view, but wa3 compelled to deBist on account of hia eyes. Ho, therefore, undertook missionary work in New York city in connection with the tract society, of which ho was appointed goneral secretary when 10 years old.

At thi3 period in his life ho married Miss Chaoin, daughter of Deacon Phineas Ohapin, of Uxbridgo, Mass. Ho was tho first lay missionary appointed this country. Hia health broke down in this work, and for a period of two or threo years, therefore, he engaged in light eeeular business. He then returned to missionary work, in which his Health agaic failed him, which was at Providence, R. where he was employed by tho Young men'a tract missionary society, and he again returned to socular pursuits.

Ho again tried missionary work and for twolve yoarn was the financial agent and superintendent of the Five Points home of industry. At the expiration of that service, which was about twenty two years ago, ho carui to Plymouth, with which church he waa conneoted as a member and oflico bearer for four or five years beforo he assumed the position as assistant pastor, which ho held so long. Mra. Henry Ward Beeeher has said to tho writer that her husband ever regarded Mr. Halh 3ay with a very strong affoction, relying apon him for an abundance of tho detaila of the work that doubtless no other assistant pastor could have so ably and faithfully exeontod aa he.

For the twenty years they were together there never was a hard feeling or word of difference between them, the two men working thoroughly and harmoniously together, and over enthusiastic tho one over the other's characteristics. Mr. Halliday resigned from Plymouth church on the occasion of tho election of the Bov. Dr. Lyman Abbott to take Mr.

Beeeher'a place as pastor, a course which ho deemed advisable in ordor tha', tho church might benefit to the full from tho new conditions then confronting it. In Decomber, 1888, ho assumed pastorate of tho Tabernacle Con grosational church, then a small and disintegrating congregation, holding services in a store on npper Fulton street. By dint of hard and persistent labor, almost single handed, he managed in a very space of time to cause tho prospects of the struggling church to brighton and a building of their own was therefore conceived. The scheme was immediately set on foot and early Bhowed signs of mooting with success. Members of Plymouth church and othor friends of Mr.

Beeeher, inoluding his widow pre eminently, came forward ao enthusiastically to Mr. Halli day's help in this project that ho decided to rename the society and constitute the church a memorial to Plymouth's great pastor. Tho hiB tory of tho church and Mr. Halliday's success are too widely known to bo repeated at this time. It is merely aiifilciMit to say that the building has been completed and occupied by the congregation within the past few weeks and that it has been almost entirely paid for.

Mr. Halliday continues to livo at 77 Hicks street and preaches rooming and evening in tho church, which ia almost halt' an hour's journey ou the elevated railroad from hia home. Ministerial resignations aro falling thick and fast in these days, and tho apparent contagion in the air seems threatening of widespread consternation if not soon chockod. No leas than two have been announced during the week just past. At tho close of the morning servico last Sunday tho Kev.

W. V. Pratt surprised the grcator portion of his congregation in the Bedford heights Baptist church by announcing his resignation from the charge, which ho has hold for nearly two years. On the following day the information waa made public that the Uev. Edward M.

MoGuffcy, Dr. CharleR H. Hall's able assistant in Holy Trinity, had decidod on removing from Brooklyn to take ohargo of St. James' church, Newtown, L. I.

These resignations emphasize the fact that there is an unusually great number of vacant pulpits in the city at present. The gaps that have been made in tho pastoral ranks by tho inducements held out by other cities, however, are fast filling up, and that, too, with oqually able men as thoso whose places they have been called to take. Dr. Adams in Dr. Gunnison's former pulpit in All Souls' Uuiversaliat, in the eastern district, ia winning goldon opinions.

Hallenbeck, in the North Reformed church; Bev. Mr. Masseck, in the Universalis church, In Greenpoiut, and others of Brooklyn's new pastors are responding satisfactorily to the requirements of their several charges. Of the pulpits that have been long vacant that in the Hanson placo Baptist church will soon be filled, all the arrangements looking to this ond having been already accomplished. Dr.

Dixon, of Baltimore, was called a few weeks ago and has already notified tho church of his consont to occupy it. Ho will a notable addition to tho clergy of Brooklyn. Dr. Cuyler's old cbargo will also soon be ministered unto by a regular pastor, the Rev. Dr.

The movement is puroly Baptist and ia unique in being not only tho first premillcnnial conference in that denomination, but the first ever held by any single denomination. Its coming meeting in this city has oxoited universal attention and will donbtloas attract an attendance from all over tho oonntry as well by reason of tho reputation of the orginators of tho society and tho speakers as by tho prorainonco into whioh premillennariana and poatmillennariana have reoently como.

James M. Farrar, pastor of tho First Reformed church, Soventh avonue, corner of Carroll street, ia preaching a notablo sorioa of thoughtful and logical aormona on Sunday mornings in order to satiafy thinking people in his congregation. He preaches tho third of this series, the subject of which ia science and rolig ion, to day. Ho claima that aoience and religion are one, and not antagonistic, going ao far laBt Sunday as to aay thatnature is as much inspired as tho Biblo. In that sermon ho first took up tho idea of the two forms of knowledge, that from within and that from without, iu other worda, sense of perception and rovelation.

He then showed that in soienoe all the facts rest upon an assumption. As iu scienco they havo faith in assumed principles, so in roligion wo havo faith in revealed principles, and both come at their last analysis to rest npon tho throe great prinoiplos of time, space and first great oauso. He then took tho map of the world aud snowed how if mighty hands could press togethor the hemiapherea of which it ia compoaod thoy would fit into one another. The same was the case with Bcienco and roligion. The noxt thought was that thoy are aupplemontal to each other.

What the Bible lacks aoionoo furnishes. Tho Biblo, for instance, cannot tell tho ago of the world. Aa soon as science dotermlnoa it in a maunei" that can Btand the test of universality, necessity and originality wo thon have a truth that ia inspired. On the other hand, scienco can not tell who or what is tho great causo, inasmuch na tho earth is aa silent aa to its maker aa tho sphinx is silent as to its maker. The Bible, however, can answer that question.

Thus and in other ways the preaehor showed that they wero supplemental to each othor and that in fact they wero two great volumea of God's truth. Ho thero can be no conflict botweon them. When Mr. Farrar has finished this sorieB ho will begin an other on conscience. Ho is an intensely oaruest studenfbf psychology.

THE MYSTIC AUT. Tho Strange Fascination It Scorn to Exercise Over Young People. With the oponing of tho winter sensou and of the various sorta of echoola throughout tho oity will como the regular annual ruah of would be stenographers. Tho shorthand classes and thero are many in thia city will at first bo crowded to tho extreme limits, and for a month thero will bo a violent application of tho students to the consonantB, vowela and shadings which form the rudiments of thia fascinating study. At the ond of tho first month tho edge of the glamour will have worn off with a few and there will be a slight falling off in the attendance.

Whon two months havo elapsed many will have discovered tnat there i moro prose than poetry in tho task tney have undertaken and tho classes will be little moro than ono half as large as at the beginning of the term. When the time oomos for the long and hard tussle with the word signs, phrases and contractions another dtlegatiou will quietly Irop out of tho hieroglyphical raoe. Thoso who reach the end of this stroteh, however, and who are just beginning to believe in their ability to commence taking apeechoa, sermons aud harangues of all descriptions will again feel tho depressing effects of a very wot blankot being thrown upon thoir burning expectations by tho aggravating slowncaa with whioh thoir speod increases. Strango a3 it may seem, it is at this point that many stiok. It requires unlimited pa tience and much continuoua practice hrat in writing and then in readiug aud improving upon what has been written to attain sufficient speed for any practical use.

And another atrugglo is yet beforo the studont. It ia to pass the medium point and attain a sufficiently high rate of speed to take a spoech or sermon or a batch of testi mony verbatim. If this last and hardest diffi culty ia surmounted the stenographer ia compe tent to make practical use of shorthand, but long bofore thia the crowdB of fluttering enthusiasts who thronged the schoola at tho beginning of tho neason will havo boon loft clear ont of sight and dropped from the cla.aa rollB. It is an old story in evory olass of every city in the country. An instructor in ono of the largest shorthand schools in Brooklyn said to an Eagle reporter on thia subject; It haB never ceased to bo a source of wonder to mo bow many people start in to master shorthand with no idea whatever of what they aro attempting.

Tho general imoreasion among young people Boema to bo that all they have to do ia to learn a li8tof aigns which stand for words, Join them togother in any sort of shape and then start out taking speeches and testimony. They aro dumbfounded when they discover that they have to work from tho very Htart, and aa thia 'work becomos harder and more difficult to master with ovory tep forward, it ia not Btrance that only about half a class ever sticks it out to tho end. Six months' hard Btu.ly evory day ia sufficient for aome pupils, less than that for few, and moro for tho average Most stenographers leave school before they have attained sufficient speed to on title them to positions and that ia tho reason the country ia flooded with cheap workmen aud girls in this branch. Another reason is that a fair oduoation ia a prime necessity for a good stenographer, and it seems to bo rule that thnao who have little or no knowledge of the rules of grammar aro tho very ones who get tho shorthand fever in its worst form."
