His boyhood wa passed in Pittsburg, Pa. His ministerial career embraces only two pastoral charges, one iu Now York, where he served the Third Reformed Presbyterian church with distinction for seventeen years, and his presont ono in Boston. Ho loft tho former denomination, in which ho was brought up, because of its narrow restrictions, like close communion and opposition to instrumental mnsio in tho services. This step on his part is said to have greatly dissatisfied hiB fattier, who is still living. Dr.

Gregg's especial characteristic as a speaker is rapidity, in which respect ho is ofton wont to bo compared with his groat Boston oolleague, Dr. Phillips Brooks. Ho is, however, not quite so fast a speaker as that distinguished divine. He is possessed of deep learning, wide experience and broad sympathies, aud being remarkably elo quont his discourses are never lacking in all the great and Bmall features that win the attention, hold tho interest and excite the admiration of tho most cultured audiencoa. Ho is also of a notably attractive personal appearance, and in social intercourse is agreeable, winning and affable.

Amajority of tho people in the Lafay. otto avonuo ohuroh have had an opportunity of finding out those things for themsolvos, having seen aud hoard him in and out of their own pul pit last summer. At his homo, 170 South Oxford street, after the meeting last night, Dr. Cuyler said to a reporter of the Eaolk that he had only had a very slight personal acquaintance with Dr. Gregg, but that ho has known long and well of him.

Ho is thoroughly satisfied with the action of his old congregation, whoso welfaro, ho said, Is still vary doar to him, iu calling him to bo their spiritual uhophord. Tho committee had often consulted with him and he had always recommended Dr. Greg to them. They showed him on Tuesday night the report they had presented to the church and ho had fully agreed with ovary word of it. Dr.

Ouyler also said that Dr. Grogg's present church in Boston is by no means unknown to him. Twenty years ago they extended to him a call to beconio their pastor and last summer ho preached four times in it. Dr. Cuyler was not present at the meeting, but word was sent to him immediately that action was taken and ho is said to havo expressed his approval very warmly, as well as his joy at the unanimity that characterized it.

Some idoa of tho largo decrease in the tax rato thiB year, as compared with that of last year, may be inferred from Clork Cadley's statement that, whoroas, in tho western district wards last year it was upward of $30 on each $1,000 of valuation, this year it will bo but a trifle moro than $20; and, whereas, in tho eastern district wards it was nearly $28 upon oaeh $1,000 valuation, it will be this year less than $24.50. Clerk Cadley is at presont busy malting up tho rate by wards, and these are general figures, but they are authentic and suflicient to satisfy taxpayers that thoir rato will bo an avorago of $5 on $1,000, los3 than last year all ovor thn Tho causes of this result were tho cutting down of tho budgets of tho various departments, including tne charities, tho county, tho board of education and tho city, so that thero aro $400, 000 less of taxes to pay in the county at large.

Thero is a movement on foot among tho Baptists of this city which will beforo long attract universal attention to a society oomposod entirely of premillennial membors of the Baptist faith. This socioty ia a now ono, having been in existence less than four months, and oa it practically 11x63 tho boundary lino betweon two separate and distinct schools within tho Baptist oreed its oaroer will be watchod with keon inter est by members of all denominations. The society waa organized in Chicago May 27, 1800. Its name is the Baptist conference for Bible study. Tho constituency consists only of Baptists who believo iu and advocate the premillennial ooming of a Lord.

Tho object of tho society is to diacusa and disaotnmato information concerning Biblo topics in general, and the millennial question in particular.

He is busy now perfecting arrangements for the big conference next month and will open tho proceedings on that occasion with an address of welcome, in which he will dwell on, the objeots of tho society. When asked how tho new aooioty came to bo organized. Dr. McBride said: "Thoro aro, as we all know, two distinct schools of Christians premillenists, or those who believe that tho Lord will make his, appearance on earth boforo the millennium, and post millen ists, or those who think ho will not come until afterward.

Tho post millennists toach that the world will get better and better, and that it ahall be brought about that tho wholo world ahall know Christ and bo good and righteous when tho millennium comes. The promillonniats, on the other band, think that, having a thousand millions of people in the world who povor heard of Christ, and with so much iniauity and sin prevailing in all quarters, ins toad of a paradise the world will be aa it waa in tho days of Noah. Wo think tho Lord is coming aoon and that ho will gather out hU ohurch and take them into the air with Him. TJie post millenniats toach that tho gospel will make tho world clean aud righteous. We claim and boliovo that the Lord will do it in person.

Thoy aro looking for tho oloso of the millennium, while we look for the Lord Himself beforo that time." "On what do you base your belief?" "Wo see abundant signs which point toward the realization of what wo boliove." "What, for instance "Signs of tho times thn cnnrlitinn nf thn wrirlH generally. All this will be discussed and fully explainod at the oonferonoo next month, and I will not anticipate by going into details on this particular point." wny do you connno tho sooioty to raomhers of the Baptist faith Is it not a matter that interests i all, regardless of sect or creod "Yes, bnt by confining the movement to Baptia limits We will got a llrin foothold In niir own Knbl. and the others will follow. Iu fact, they are already. Tho Tresbytorians will soon havo a similar movoment on foot, aud thero will be othors as well.

It is significant that nearly all the great evangelists of tho country bolievo with ns Moody. Needham, Sankey, Whittle, Munhall, Pontocost all aro promillennists. Thore aro no less than a dozau Baptist pastors in Brooklyn who have declared themsolvcB firmly on this side, and many of those who havo taken no positivo stand will uphold the premillennium theory.

It ia the intense light aud oxtreme dark ness side by side.

The post millennists believo in ono promiscuous resurrection. The oreinillen nists believe thoro will be two first tho righteous congregation of the Lord, then tho wicked. Tho dead in Christ will bo taken first, and then we will meet tho Lord in thn n.ir wit aninta.

Tho strike of "boot makoraat Leicoster, whioh has boon in progress for sevoral months, has ended in a victory for the men. Tho Scotch homo rulers aro much dissatisfied because of tho indifferonce of tho liboral leadors toitheir pet scheme Thoy havo addressed protests on tho subjeot to Mr.

Gladstone and others and threaten to" mako trouble for the party in tho noxt elections unless the principle for which thoy are contending receives oliioiai recognition in the liberal platform. Tolstoi's "Kroutzor Sonata" iu now allowed to circulate in Hungary and Austrian Poland. A sensation has boen aroused in Berlin by tho exhibition of a now pictorial repre sentation of Christ before Pilate. The painting is by a Kusalau artist. Nicolai.

Ita powerful realism may bo inferred from the fact that Bcorea of women havo fainted at the sight. The picture, though horrible, is strangely fascinating, and tho salon whore it is displayed is continually crowded to suffocation. Tho Bubject is treated from an entirely dift'oront conception to that of MnnkacBy in hia famous painting bearing tho somo titlo. Tho work is pronounced by critics to be vastly inferior to the latter in a purely artistic sense, but yot to possess a rcmavkable powar which can hardly be attributed to simple realism. Advices from Torsia by way of Constautinoplo represent that the Russians aro oncroachiug on tho Persian frontier aud havo driven in a body of Persian soldiers stationed ou the frontier near tho river Arns.

It is Bupposod to bo Russia's intention to straighten the frontier of Trans Cau oasia whether Persia likoa it or not. Russian newspapers continue to pnbliBh articles, officially inspired, against tho Jows. In ono of thoso it is urged that Jewish jurymen and mom bora of tho bar should bo sworn on tho Pentateuch and not on the Bible, as thoy do not consider the latter oath binding. The an ti tithe agitation in Pembrokeshire, Wales, runs high, and an attompt to collect tithes has proved unsuccessful, tho peoplo threatening violonoe. The Emperor William proposes to dovoto moro time to tho work of government, and ospeoially to tho army.

In ordor to do this his sister, tho Princess Victoria, who ia to bo wedded soon to Princo Adolphus of Schanmburg Lippo, will be oxpoeted, after tho honeymoon, to take up her abode, with hor husband, in Borlin and rolievo tbo emperor and ompress of a conBiderablo sharo of tho Bocial duties now performed by thom. The number of victims of William W. Miller, tho alleged swindling banker, increases. It seems that many peoplo on tho continent, as woll aa in London, woro tempted by tho promise of onor mous interest to intrust their funds with Miller and his partner, and aro now mourning tho result of thoir credulity. Prlnoo Meatohorsky, in tho Qrashilanln, ro proachea tho JVoura Vremya for attempting to create Chinese ill feoling, which he Bays will bo a terrible thing for Rnssla.

The princo urges his countrymen to bo guided by two principles first, the adoption of a policy that will satisfy China and avoid provoking her national revengo; and second, tho cultivation of overlasting hatred of tho Jews to prevent them from ponetrating Russian lifo and attaining thoir principal aim, tho destruction of tbo orthodox democracy of Russia. Tho Berlin correspondent of tho A'etos telegraphs that conferences will aoon bo hold at tho foreign office in rogard to tho quoation of eatab lishing a hospital in Africa. Emporor William favors tho erecting of tho building on the main land, while others, including the hoad phyaioian of tho East Africa company, profor Zanzibar, as originally iutended. The government of Luxemburg is corresponding with the duko of Nassau with a view to his resuming tho regeuoy. It BeomB that tho now ministry ie not satisfactory to either party.

It is believed that it will collapse after having arranged a sottlemont of the preBont crisis in public affairs. Despatches from Russia say that numerous ar rests of socialist workmen continue to bo made at St. Petersburg and Moscow. TOUEb HAKTIS. Tlio marriage of Miss Addie F.

Fictnlnsr Assrtt That the Iu.tauo A ay. lam Authorities Feared No Harm al l)ohtrtj'a Hand His Murderous Ael Tai YFbolIy Unoxptieted. Tho charities commissioners yesterday afternoon began an investigation into tho circumstances surrounding the death of Dr. Lloyd, al the asylum, last Thursday afternoon. They examined Dr.

Fleming, the assistant medical superintendent in charge of tho asylum: Dr. Ar Hold, the general superintendent; Thomas J. druggist, and Martin Schneider, a clerk. They then adjourned until after the in. finest should be hold.

The ovidonco at yesterday's investigation went to prove that Doherly'j second visit to the asylum did not atartlo tho doctors or tho clerks, and that up to time of the fatal shot even Dr. Lloyd did not apprehond danger enough to stop the work be was engaged on that of copying his reports in tho book. Ha was Bhot with tha pen his hand. That the recent murder was not without its effect waa shown in the fact that when tho roportor wont to the asylum, for the first timo in his fifteen years' of his experience he found his way barred at tho outer door ami had to give an account of himsolf beforo ho could enter. The first witness examined waa Dr.

Fleming. He explained that Doherty had been marked discharged after ten days' absence because the state commissioner lunacy had directed that this ahould be done iu all such casoa at hia lat visit in December. This explanation had not been mado before. He acknowledged that the escape of Dolu rty in the first instance had not been telephoned lo the police, because it was thought wiser to wait for a day or two, iu tho hope that he might return or bo recaptured. Ha had no fear at that time of Uoherty's injuring anyone, because ho had never evinced any dispok sition in that direction.

Ho had attempted an escape once, before and had throateuod his captor with a spado, but the doctor thought that tho natural instinct of a man who wanted to get away and might not mean more than a simple threat. No one was hurt at that time. Nearly every lunatic wanted to get away, believing himself uu justly held. Doherty's escape on the loth was made in the night. The watchman was on duty at tho time, but was doubt Iosb in another part of the building aa he had six wards to cover, and it took him half uu hour to an hour to make his rounds.

When lioheriy came back aftor his things ho said ho had opened tiio doors with a false key of his own mako. There were throe doora to ho opened beforo ho could get out of tho building and then ho would have a fence to climb. 'Ihi could oasily be done by a man of Doherty's intelligence on ordinary subjects. He could arrange to avoid tho watchmen ou tho inuido and outaide of tho building, as they had long rounda. The watchmun'a doteotor waa produced to ahow that tho rounds had been properly mado on that night.

When Doherty callod the first time after hin escapo the doctor had no real fear of hia harming anyone, but ho gave up tho things to which tbo man was entitled as quietly as possible, for fear that he might grow excited and do harm. He felt that if Doherty meant harm to anybody it was to Dr. 1 Hoyt, against whom he had feehng, and whose life ho threatened at tho time. Ho had warned the police of Doherty at that timo becauso ho thought him dangerous to be at large, and while the Brooklyn police laughed at him, the Now Vork police said they would keep a 1 lookout. Ho also warned Dr.

Hoyt, who beliovod with him that ho would bo the only object of Dohorty'B vengeance and had providod against it as far as possible. Whon Doherty callod the boc ond timo he had no idea that ho meant to harm anybody, and did not know ho had inquired for him until i tor the shooting. Ho simply avoidod him becauso of the bother and did not deem it noocBdary to go into tho main ollice whon ho waa there. As to tho uae of but one key for all tho doors he thought that was uoodod in cr.ao of a lire or pauic ao that immediate oxit might ho se curod for tho patients. Ho thought, however that a moro complicated lock might bo put on so that it could not easily be duplicated.

Referring again to tho second visit of Doherty, ho said ho had no idea tho man meant to shoot anybody. As ho was in another office from the ono Doherty waB in ho took tho simple precaution of remaining thero because ho thought it poHsiblo that if Doherty meant to harm any one it would be either himself or Dr. Arnold. Ho had no idea Dr. Lloyd would be hurt, bocauao Doherty hardly know him.

In fact, ho had no idoa Doherty meant to hurt any one. The only mania Doherty had ovor exhibited waB in a bulief that Mary Anderson loved him. Ho also explainod that while it would appoar that thero was an attendant to every eighteen patiouts, attendants had often other than hall work to do, and then tho work of tho remaining hall attendants waa increased and thoy had as many as twenty live patients to look after at times. As to safeguards against intrusion, ho said that ho had boon in institutions iu tho West and at Ward's Island, both as physician and visitor, and in nono of them were greater precautious taken than at tho Flatbnsh institutions. Thomas MoGreall told his story of the affair and said that no ous thought until tbo shot was fired that Doherty meant murder.

"it ting at tho deak with Dr. Lloyd, at right angles to him, when tho shot was fired, and the doctor had his pen his baud, talking in an offhand way to Doherty, who had passed behind the witness with tho revolvers in his hand. It was done bo suddenly that Doherty got away before they realized tho dood. If ho had thought anything serious waa likely to result ho would have done something to prevent it. Martiu Schneider, a olork, and a very intelligent man, said ho thought that Doherty had come back to get somo moro thinga, but had uo fear of him.

Ho passod in and out of tho oflico whilo ho was there with no thought of danger. After the shooting he aidod in the capture and helpod to identify tho man. Dr. Arnold, iu an oxporienco of Bixteen yearain asylums iu this county and at Ward's Island, had never boiore known of a patient returning to tho asylum to harm any ono. They usually kopt away aa far aa possible Injury had been done to physiciaus by patients under restraint in this asylum and somo of the patiouts now thore had utterod threats, but thoy wero not considered.

He said tho rule all over tho oountry waa to give pationta as much liberty as possible. aiiu uuiuiuiPDiunci unci tins Lom mo doctors to bo prepared at the next mooting to preaent any recommendations in tho caso that thoy thought necessary and adjourned until Tuesday next at 3 o'olock. DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE. First Mcctiai; oi tho Scaioa Hold ia Association Hall. Tho first meeting of tho season of tho department of architecture of tho Brooklyn institute took place last evening in Association hall, at the corner of Fulton and Bond atrects.

President Georgo L. Morso opened tho meeting with a fow remarks appropriate to tho occasion, lie said Ladies and gentlemen of the department of architecture No longer ago than tho 13th of Decombor, last year, yon organized under tho auspices of the Brooklyn institute this association, whoso siuglo object theu aud now the promotion of architecture you have undertaken to carry forward. This occasion, which marks the beginning of a new period aftor tho first season of rest wisely provided by our bylaws is not to bo regarded hero as the lirst milestone, bnt only tho first half milestono iu our career. To night we take a now departure and I congratulate you on tho fact that tho conditions and circum atancoa under which wo make the new start are moat auspicious. Wo organized this department with many misgivings as to tho possibility of making It a useful ono, but as tho work progressed tho Hold widened and our skies brightonod.

and now it is apparent to all that our opportunities for great achievements are most abundaut. We havo on tho roll of membership ir3 names. Of this number fifty two aro architects, or students of architecture, and this element of tho membership iu united in relations that arc moro intimate for purposqs that are strictly technical and professional. Thn wheel within a wheel iB callod tho advisory board it is tho heart of tho department. Tho management haa given especial attention to tho work of tho advisory board for tho preBont Boa aon, and I am sure that tho results will justify tho prediction that tho soason's work will bn of great interest and helpfulness to tho membership.

Tho department of architecture has mado an excellent boginuing. In the short period of last yoar it aet ita base Btoue and built its foundation walls nlumh and true. Wn made a good start of the superstructure of what will bo a stately odlfico. It will be a permanent erection. Within tho prestige aud under the fostering care of what is to bo a great institution in this community, it will continuo for many generations, and under the care and guidance of bettor men than wo men with greater advantages, opportunities and resources, who will maintain it as tho exponent in this city of tho grandest, tho oldest and the most useful of all the arts.

Tho namo of tho lecturer this evening will recall ploasant recollections in the minds of those who attended tho lectures of tho department last sea sou. I now have tho pleasure of introducing to you Dr. Arthur Lincoln Frothingham, of Princeton college. Dr. Frothingham's lecturo on "Some Instructive Examples of Fronch Gothic Churches was most interesting and inetructivo.

The French Gothic architecture, while it is ono of the most beautiful of styles, is but littlo known in tho United States hence it was of tho deepest inter eat to tho architects presont laat ovening. Tho lecture was of the popular Btyle, free aa possible from technicalities, and tho throe hundred or moro auditors were dolighted with it, aa well aa tho excellont stereopticon viows, and Bhowed their appreciation by genorous apphvuso, HOTEL ABltlVAI.S.

The Academy of Music was crowded last oven inc: from orchestra rail to gallery, largely by Scots and Scottish Americans, for tho concert given under tho auspices of Ciau McDonald No.

33, of Brooklyn. Tho entertainers wero the royal Edinburgh concert company, a capable and interesting road concert company organized in Edinburgh and now upon its first American tour. Tho strong point of tho company is tho spirit and sympathy with which its membors givo Scotch ballads, and Scottish airs wisoly form a considerable portion of its programme. Prominent among its membors aro William 3IoLennan and Oharles F. Ferguson.

Mr. McLennan is a bagpipe player and dancer who hae takon tho world's championship prizes in both his special ties, and whoBo Highland airs npon tho bagpipos were last evening received with quick shouts of approval. Mr. Forguson is a humorous reciter, a Scotch Burhank, whoso specialty is "Jeoms and whoso humor warms tho coekleB of every Calodonian heart in his audiences. Tho company also contains a capable ballad quartet, Mias Alico Steol, soprano; Mias E.hth Boss, contralto; Alex ander tenor, and James Fleming, baBB, aud a violinist, Jules Gitilton.

Tho quar tot sang Burns" aong, "Scots Wha Hao wi' Wallaco Bled," Boinby's "Sweat and and, to close, "The Star Spanglod Banner." Miss Ross aud Mr, Fiulayson sang "Yo Banks andtBraos o' Bonnie Doon," tho throo men sang Burns' "Willio Browed a Peck o' Maut," and tho solos included 'Robin by MiBS Steel, who waB enthusias tically encorod; "Auld Robin Gray" and Cowon's The Bettor Land," by Miss Ross, a contralto with a rich voico aud a broad, dramatio stylo. "Tho Battloo' Stirling Bridge" and "The Bird o' the Wildorness," old Scotch songs, by Mr. Finlayson; aud "Hurrah for tho Highlands" and Pinsuti's Baft" by Mr. Fleming. Tho singers havo good voices, thoy appreoiato tho spirit of tho Sootoh music, aud this Sootoh part of their programme proved most attractive, ospeoially the vigor aDd pieturesqueness of Mr.

Finlaysou's bailads. Mr. Ferguson sang a humorous song, "Ta Clerk in ta Office," in a way that delighted tho audience. Ho also rocitod tho Yankee's aocouut of Rubin stein'B piano playing loss well than Burbauk used to do the same thing. There were several Italian and English numbers on the programme, but tho company ia strongest in tho Scottish music.

Outsido its own field its performance is not better than thoso to which American audioncos are accustomed. The quartet will have reason to remember Brooklyn for an illuBtration of the total depravity of animate things. While thoy wore Binglng Bomby'a "Sweot and Low'1 as a substitu tion for ono of tho numbers on the programme a little baby, whioh had managed to slumber so far peacefully enough, awoke and began to scream with an energy whioh made tho singers' gentle "Sleep and Best on Mother's Breast" a hollow mockery. Its voico rose above the closing chord of tho song in angry protest, and it was not until a noisier part of tho programme had boon reached that tho child subsided. A.

A largely attended meetlnor of the congregation of tho Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church was held in the church, corner of South Oxford street, last night, in accordance with a notice given from tho pulpit last Sunday morning. Tho meeting was called for tho purpose of hearing tho report nt thn cmnmif.tn.i laBt February to select a (successor to the Dr. Theodore L.

All organ voluntary. selection by tho choir, tho singing of a hymn by the congregation and the readies of tho scriptures the first sixteen verses of Ephesians iv vrnro followed hv a short oiening address by the moderator, baaed on tho scriptural selection of the ovenuig. In it the moderator called attention to tho absolute necessity for unanimity of action, not a formal unanimity, but a unanimity begotton of the Holy Spirit; in cither words, a imiial nrni'MKillll dODOIltk 1100 UP011 thO T.nrrt Ami the tl.ont.'ht suggested by the pass.

After ottering up a prayer at mo close of his remarks he callod the meeting to or der and stated that the first item of businosa was tho oloetion of a clerk. Michael Snow then rose to remark that it is tho usual custom of the Pres. bvteriau church that tho clerk of tlte session ahould act clork of tho meeting. Inasmuch, however, as the mooting was destined to be an important ono, ho would move that Dr. William Jarvey.

clerk of the board of trustees, snouid uo nuRneiated with thn clork of the session on tho crosout occasion. The motion was duly seconded and carried. Tho report of tho comtnitteo for the aolection of a pastor was thou in order. It was read bv Chairman Daniel YV. MoWillianis, aa follows Tho committee appointed at a meeting of tho congregation of the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church, held on February 12, 1800, to which was referred the subject of selecting a pastor for this beloved church, would respectfully report that, realizing that a solemn responsibility was resting upon us, as also that a great oppoi iu nity was presented, wo have givon most careful and studious attention to tho requirements of this congregation, and.

after much prayerful consideration, report the name of Gregg, D. now pastor of the Park street Lou gregation. church, Boston, bb a most suitable and worthy nerson to bocomo the pastor of this church and successor of Kev. Thoodore L. Guylc D.

who has for thirty years adorned this p.is torate and made this church, under the blessing of God, a shining and conspicuous examplo among the churches of our laud. Rev. Dr. Gregg is about 45 years old; has been in tho gospel ministry twenty years, having been poutor of two churches of the Third liciormed PreBbyteiiau church of New York for seventeen years, and of the historic Park street Congregational church, Boston, for about three yours. Ho is an able, enitured, spiritually minded man, of warm, broad, generous nature and sympathies; a most earnest and effective preacher of the gospel, whose doctrinos of grace he beiieves are adequate to "cure the hurt of every human heart" and which ho lores to proclaim.

These doctrines he finds no occasion to amend. He is "mighty in the scriptures" and pre eminently feeds the lloek of God with gospel truth; he thoroughly sympathizes with nil the purposes for our divine Master founded Ills church and commissioned His disciples. He is earnest in all those movements by which the church is winning its conquests in the world, such as Sabbath school, young people's association, Young Men's Christian Association, evangelistic, mission and kindred works. He behoves that the church of God is not only an army to bo fed but an army to be led forth battle against the powers of sin. Wo believe that liev.

Dr. Grew is peculiarly fitted to be the pastor of this church by reason of hia character, antecedents, acquirements, en thnsiasm iu the work, his attractive personality, his interest in the young and his thorough to the cause to which he has consecrated his life. We believe that our church is a lield peculiarly adapted to his labors in the gospel minis try and that such a pastor and such a church unitedly can aohieve results worthy of his and our past record. Therefore, we recommend that a call be presented to liev. David Gregg, D.

iu usual form, as follows: "Tne congregation of tho Lafayette avonuo Presbyterian church being, on sufficient grounds, well satisfied of the ministerial qualifications of you, Itev. David Gregg, D. and having good hopes, from our past experience of your labors, that your ministrations the guspel will bo prontablo to our spiritual interests, do earnestly call and desire you to undertake tho pastoral office in said congregation; promising yon, in the discharge of your duty, all proper support, encouragement aud obedience iu the Lord. And that you may be free from worldly cnroB and avocations wo hereby promise and oblige ourselves to pay to you the sum of $10, 000 Der annum, in regular quarterly payments, during tho time of your being and continuing tho regular pastor of this church, and to grant you tho usual two months' vacation each summer, "Iu testimony whereof, wo have respectfully subscribed our names this loth day of October, A. 1800.

Attested by moderator of the mooting, Damel W. MuWilliams. "Signed John N. Beach, Coll J. Turner, Alexander G.

Van Clove, Edgar Forman, Grenvillo Peirin, William W. Goodrich, Michael Snow, William Mumford, Jacob L. dossier, Sylvester E. Bergen, committee appointed to select a pastor." Mr. Gosler moved that the report be roceived and adopted aa read and that the congregation proceed to the election of a pastor.

Mr. Mc Williams then said that he would like to mako a few remarks In addition to tho report he had just heard read: As you are aware, ho continued, the committeo was a large one, comprising no less. than eleven members. It was composed of throe elders, two deacons, two trustees.one representative of tho young people's associations, two members of the congregation at large and the Sunday school superintendent. It had been said by some that the committee was too large; that as there wero many men, there would be many minds; but if it had been a committee of ol, or even 101, 1 might almost say, and they had heard Dr.

Gregg preach, as we have heard him, and had pleasant interviews with him, as we have had, it would still have voted unanimously for him. There was no ballot takiMi until last Saturday night. I cannot think of Dr. Gregg as our pastor, after what I know of him and have seen of him, without very great enthusiasm. Indeed, I think you will be proud of him as your pastor.

Dr. Ouyler, I know, will be proud of him as his successor. When Mr. JlcWilliams concluded Mr. T.

Croniu addressed the meeting, saying that he would like to have a statement uiado as to what had been done by the committee as to the different cities they had visited In the prosecution of their labors and the various things they had otherwise done in the furtherance of the task that had been intrusted to them. Tho report that had just been read gavo no information of that nature and he thought tbe.congivgatioii was entitled to it. Mr. JlcWilliams should have thought of it. "In reply to the questions put by our brother to the committee," said Mr.

McWilliams, "I may say that they have given tho most careful, serious nud studious attention to the w.mts of this church in all that respects a pastor. The result is that we have nominated to night the Kev. Dr. David Gregg, of Boston." Mr. Cronin replied that ho would vote heartily lor Dr.

Gregg, inasmuch as he had every confidence in the choice of tho committee as far as ho himself was concerned. Mr. John N. Beach, oi the committeo, then spoke warmly in support of the nomination. Ho was followed by W.

W. Goodrich, also of the committee, who said: "I I resume it goes without saying that the eleven members of the committeo havo been impressed with a senso of what it might almost call tho awful responsibility that was devolved upon them by this congregation iu intrusting them with the taBk of selecting a pastor for the church. The tendency ha almost been one of critical cynicism as to any pastor that might be named, while each member has very nearly felt unwilling to take upon himself the responsibility of proposing. a man. It does not become me, as one of the committee, to speak of our labors.

I can only say that we have attended to our work faithfully. Every member of tlio committee has heard Dr. Gregg preach, moreovor tho congregation, and I understand that he satisfied ovorybody and took tho congregation by storm when ho occupied tho pulpit on a Sunday last summer." Mr. Goodrich then proposed that a standing vote should be taken on the report of tho committee, the acceptance of which as read, aa the moderator reminded tho meeting, would involve the eloction of Dr. Gregg to the paatorato of the church.

He also statod who wero qualifiod to vote, namely all persons in full communion with the church, without regard to age or sex, and all persons who havo contributed regularly to its financial support for ono year or more. Mr. Goodrich's motion was duly seconded and carried, and tho resulting voto was unanimous for the acceptance of the report of tho committee and with it the election of Dr. David Gregg, of Boston, to be the successor of Dr. Theodore L.

Cuyler. Mr. Goodrich toon movod that the trustees, ciders, dqacons and mombers of tho pastoral committee should sign tho call, in ad di tion to tho attestation of tho moderator's zeal, instead of the usual practico boing carried oat whoreby it was subscribed to by tho oleotors, inasmuch as the membership was so largo. The motion was carried. Thereupon Messrs.

MoWilliams and Black were appointed a oommittoo to presont the call in person to tho pastor oioot. The appointment of the following commissioners to prosecute the call before tho Presbytery was next offootod: William W. Wickos and Charles W. Hand, on behalf of the elders; E. II.

Boardman and 8. S. Batler, on behalf of tho deacons; W. W. Goodrioli and Michaol Snow, on bohalf of tho trustees; William Mntnford, John E.

Miller, D. H. Houghtaling and A. P. Higgins, on behalf of tho early memboro of tho congregation, and Jpbn.T.

Underwood, S. E. Bergen and W. O. Pratt, on behalf of tho young people's associations.

A resolution proposed by T. 0 Cronin, oxtending tho thanks of tho congregation to tho committee for their labors was then passed, after whioh tho mooting came to a close with prayer and tho singiDg of tho Messrs.
