JTABBAB. A Reception at the First Reformed Church on Seventh Avenue Addresses of Greeting by Fellow-Pastors Some of those PresenK A heartfelt welcome to his new field of labor was given by the members and friends of ths First Reformed Church on Prospect Hill to the new pastor, the Rev. James M. Farrar, last evening, in the pleasant lecture room of the church on Carroll Btreet near Seventh avenue. The pastor's study was made a coat room, and passing through it one entered the brilliantly lighted lecture room where a company of well-dressed men and women gnyly chatted.

A constant stream filed past Mr. and Mrs. Farrar as they stood in front of the platform, hich was decked with plants and flowers, and back of which was a huge Welcome" in daisies upon a green ground. Daisies also ornamented the mantel in the ladies' parlor. The persons present were introduced to the pastor and his wife by Mr.

C. W. Osborne. After an hour of pleasant greetings and handshakings retreshments were passed around, consisting of Neapolitan ice cream and fancy cakes. Mr.

Silas B. Dutcher then clapped his hands to secure attention and proceeded to introduce Dr. Cornelius Wells, of Flat bnsh, as the father of the South Classis. Dr. Wells responded by saying that if the Flat-buBh church was the father of the Classis the First Brooklyn Church was the source and inspiration of spiritual power and fountain of love for the whole Classis.

He was sure he Bpoke tbe sentiments of the Sonth Classis when he extended words of welcome to the new pastor and of congratulation to the church that it had secured the man of its unanimous choice. There was a future of immense possibilities of enlargement for this oldest church of Brooklyn. A career of prosperity, both spiritual and temporal, opened before it. No finer field for church work was pre-Bented to any Bociety in the city. Their new pastor had come from a body which gave assurance that there was no question of his orthodoxy.

There was a Presbyterian burch that was undergoing a revision, but it was not the United Presbyterian. It Btood for orthodoxy. Intelligent Calvinism was the truth that would stand the test for all ages. Truth would prevail and win the world. That was presented in the theology of the Reformed Dutch Church, interpreted in the Heidelberg Catechism and developed in the life and experience of believers.

It was a gospel of love that magnified and exalted, the Divine Sovereignty in love and compassion and tenderness for all men. Dr. Wells closed with good wishes for the success of church and paBtor in the future. Dr. Thomas A.

Nelson, of the Memorial Presbyterian Church, was introduced as a Scotchman, as Dr. Wells had been as an Englishman who had become a Dutchman, by Mr. Dutcher. Ho made a happy response by telling a story and extending a cordial welcome to tbe new pastor who had come to manage the spiritual interests of the chnrch. He hoped to establish relations cordial, confidential, friendly and co-operative, and be hoped they would do good work together on this hill.

He added: "I welcome yon to a city which is for its size the most rapidly increasing one in the United States. Any man who comes from Philadelphia to Brooklyn should felicitate himself. You have come not only to Brooklyn, but to the choicest part of the city. On the hill slope is a community of homes. 1 think I lost only one family at the last annual exodus.

You will have a permanent, constituency in your congregation. You come to a work which is provided with facilities absolutely rare in the City cf Churches. There are two reasons for your magnificent success here. 'Some men are born great some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon You have achieved greatness, and in taking this charge you hove had greatness thrust upon you. Hope for prodigious things.

My chnrch will be glad to hear your voice and I shall be glad to preach in your completed edifice. 1 nope our relations will be cordial, confidential and friendly to the last degree." Then Mr. Dutcher introduced the Rev. J. T.

Lloyd, of the Twelfth Street Church, as a Welchman. He said he was a fellow-classmate of Mr. Farrar and was sure he was orthodox, and he hoped that this magnificent masonry would menu something for Christ Mr. Dutcher said it hsd been hoped to hear something from the Rev. Drs.

A. S. Hunt end C. M. Griffin, but they hsd gone.

Mr. Farrar was then called upon to respond. He referred in happy terms to the preceding speeches, saying he had heard that Dr. Nelson's church was overflowing and be wanted to be on good terms' with it The United Presbyterian Church was orthodox and its present condition denoted that it would remain the same to the end of the world. He went on to say that he had come to Brooklyn in the "original package," and his wife came in the same way.

He added that he came from Philadelphia not because Brooklyn was better than Uwifwdelphia but because Brooklyn needed a little of Philadelphia goodness. Strictly speaking, Philadelphia was the City of Churches, but if she took that name Brooklyn should be called the City of Brotherly Love. After Mr. Farrar had spoken Dr. Wesley Reid Davis, of the Church of the Heights, entered the room and when called ont added his hearty good wishes and congratulations to what the others said.

Among those present were Silas B. Dutcher and wife, Dr. J. B. Brown and wife.

Daniel S. Biker, one of Long Island City's foremost citizens, died at his home on Luy-ster's Island, Bowery Bay, this morning at 4 o'clock, of heart disease. He was 53 years old, a son of the late J. L. Hiker and nephew of the late Kecorder Bichard Biker, of New York.

Biker removes a striking figure from Queens County social and political life. He was a man universally regarded as the embodiment of all the manly, courageous and Bterling traits which characterize a typical American gentleman. He was a popular member of an old and respected family, which is known and deservedly pop-' nlar all over Long Island. Mr. Biker was a man of large wealth and was one of the most influential members of the old Citizen's Committee which so vigorously stamped out the official corruption rampant in the county and Long Island City a few yenra ago and he was the moving spirit in the action taken by this committee which culminated in the notorious Mayor Debevoise being hurled from power aud imprisoned.

Mr. Biker had retired from business and bad Raveled extensively of late years in hopes of improving his impaired health, heart disease always having been his trouble. He was out riding yesterday and apparently in fair health, but at 8 o'olock this morning was taken with an alarming attack and died before medical aid could reach him. He leaves a widow and several grown children. Three Months for Young Pebbles.
