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

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,

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.

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

made to him to again take:up the work

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

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

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

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
