DR. J. WILBUR GREATES1 His Sermons Are R.ead e Than Those of Any 0 that galaxy of no - tables that distin guish Indiana as aJ the most prolific producer of famous men in this genera tion of any State in Union - Lew Wal y /1 "-ce e , J a m e s W h it 4 e'-r b Riley. Charles J Major and others must now be added the name of Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, for he is the most distinguished evan gelist in the country, and his sermons are read and heard by more people than are those of any other pulpit orator. J. Wilbur Chapman was born in Richmond, Ind., on the 17th of June. 1859. His mother died when he was but twelve years of age, and his father when he was nineteen. He pursued his classical studies at Oberlin College and Lake Forest University. and grad ruated from Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, Ohio, In 1882. While in the theological seminary his earnest 'spirit led him to engage in aggressive work in some of the. neighboring communi ties. His life as a pastor has been a continuoua series of remarkable suc cesses. In 1883, while on a visit to a former classmare in Northern New York. he was called and accepted the pastorate of the Reformed Church at Schuyler ville, N. Y. Here a revival commenced that brought into the church scores of people. In 1885 he accepted the call of the First Reformed Church of Albany. N. Y., one of the most aristocratic and conservative churches in the State. It may be worthy of note that the church had been without a pastor for over two years, and had listened to 110 candi dates, when they selected this young man as their under shepherd. In five years this old, formal church was! transformed into an aggressive evan gelistic body - and 500 people were brought out of the wnrld into its fel lowship. While here he responded to invitations to engage in evangelistic services In many places in New York and neighboring States, where his ser vices were blessed in a marked degree. .n 1889 he received a hearty call to Sthe successor of Dr. A. T. Pierson in thany Church, of Philadelphia, the e rch of which Hon. John Wanamak eAlbany church of to re mma by Increase of salary and larger liberty to do outside evangeHistIe work. but finally consented to the separation. He entered upon his duties at Beth a-syChtfrEh'b early In 1890, and com menced what Is perhaps the most re markable experience of any American church along the evangelistic lines. In less than three years there were added to the church membership 1100 souls on confession of their faith, more than half of them being men. The church was so perfectly organ ized under his direction that it would be difficult for a person to be in at tendance at any of its services and not be reached by the members in a social. as well as a spiritual way. During his DR. CHAPMAN' CHURCH,TH YORtK pastorate in this church he was per mitted to engage in evangelistic work in Cincinnati, Cle;-eland, Jersey City and many other places in several States. Notes of Progress. Weatherford (Texas) Cotton Mills, Srted recently as organized, held a tin.g of stockholderrs during the week to consider character of plant to be built It was determined that a mill of 3500 spindles for manufacturing ho siery yarns he equipped. Capital is $50, 000. J. A. Fant is president. The Newport News (Va.) Knitting Mill was destroyed by fire this week, at a loss of $20,00d. The insurance nearly covers the loss, but it has not been stated if the pnindt will be rebuilt. CHAPMAN, r EVANGELIST ind Heard by More People Living Pulpit Orator; Rems,rkable Work at Bethany Church. It is not an ordinary thing for a p:is tor of a flourishing church of 300;) members, with a Sunday-school of 3200. to resign his charge for the work of an evangelist.

J. beame greater than could well be es timated by, any one who had not been in a similar position, until he -was constrained In the fall of 1892 to tender his resignation so thn1 he could devote himself entirely to this wider field of servlee. After being away from the Bethany work three years the congregation, not being able to find a man to carry on the work begun by Dr. Chapman, a most urgent and pressing call was made to him to again take:up the work as its senior pastor. having as his asso elates the Rev. Charles A. Dickey, D. - - * FOURTH PRESBYTERIAN, NEW CITY. D , Rcy. J. C. Thompson, D. D., and the Rev. George Van Deurs, with the priv ilege of a leave of absence each year for outside evangelistic work. Oai Minor flention. OuciaCotton Mills, Monroe, La., which was completed recently, hasa portion of its machinery inoprtn producing yarns. Its equipment is 2500 spindles and 75 looms, which will all be producing as soon as the necessary operatives can be secured. The steamer Claudius cleared from Mobile last week for Liverpool, Eng land, and Belfast; Ireland, with a banner cargo of timber and lumber consisting of 6,223,532 superficial In this three years of his pastoral re lation with Bethany something like 1090 persons were added to the mem bership, a majority of them men. ASyinposium of Appreciations. The Rev. Dr. Lucock, of Blooming ton. Ind., in writing to a friend about Dr. Chapman's work there says: "His work is scarcely begun until he has the confidence, affection and cordial sup Port of those associated with him. Pastors realize that an excitement for the-honor and glory of the evangelist is studiously avoided. Flashy results are not scught after. but the laying of foun dations for work in this special line by pastor and rhurch for months after the evangelist has closed his wore. His methods employed are such as to encounter the least resistance and erfti A clergyman writes: "Dr. Chapman is a most magnetic. spiritually minded 1 1. . yy reacher. As a man he. Is most lova >y, conscientious, consecrated.' The - ;act that he has been for years'a pastor %C >uts him In quick touch with ministers, -eceving their hearty co-operation." It is a remarkable fact that wherever r. Chapman has held evangeliste ser rices It attracts the attention of the ress to an unusual degree. The Rev.- Emil Levy says: "Those who have heard- Dr. Chapman are at,. ne In the first favorable impression hey receive from his open, frank and.t arnest manner of address. He never escends to the level of cheap witti isms or offensive sarcasms, or a desire to make them feel good and laugh.' He Is always earnest and reverent in he treatment of the truth, and he pre ents It with a clearness of thought and awealth of Illustration which enlists he attention of his hearers and holds t from start to finish. After a cool es-. imate of his powers It might be safely aid that he is never more forceful than t the afternoon meetings, which are argely for the benefit of Christians, calculated to deepen their spiritual ives and make them altogether 'self urrendered' to God." At present Dr. Chapman Is pastor of he Fourth Presbyterian Church . In ew York City. He left his Philadel phia charge in the height of his suc ess. and only after great pressure was brought to bear on him for the Newl ork field. It was represented to him that the Fourth Church was moribund~ nd that only he could revive It. So at i a great pecuniary sacrifice he took~ up ' the work, and the results have bieen phenomenal. His auditorium ls- .the miost consistently crowded In the met tropolls. Many doors In the past two years: are been opened to him, both in' this country and across the water, to entei ther fields and other lines of Christian work, and while many of. these calls have been most flattering, Dr. Chvp mlan has stoutly turned his face against them, feeling that God had placed His< seal upon him for special evangelistie I work. -' The present Thames storage rese0 voirs hold 1,193,000,000 gallons.
