First Philadelphia Pastorate
AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
‘By Rev. L. M. Colfelt D. D.
In the year 1874, after two years
service at the Allentown church, 1
was surprised by receiving an invita-
tion from Samuel C. Perkins, Clerk
of Session, to conduct the approach-
ing Sabbath service at the First Pres-
byterian Church,Washington Square,
Philadelphia, which I accepted without
the slightest idea that it involved a
‘Call if the service made a favorable
impression. Mr. Perkins, on being
questioned later by me as to how he
had become aware of my existence,
said, “When I was at the Yale Alumni
«dinner and was seated beside Dr. At-
water, Professor of Philosophy at
Princeton, I asked him if he could sug-
gest anyone for the vacant First
church pulpit and he answered, ‘Send
for the young pastorat Allentown,
New Jersey, whom I heard preach a
-cery creditable sermon inthe First
‘Presbyterian Church, Princeton,at the
time of his graduation.’ ” Thus his
recollection after two years of an ef-
fort at preaching I had made and
which I thought a failure profoundly
influenced my life. I was invited to
remain over and conduct the Wednes-
‘day evening service also. I don’t
think anybody could have been less in-
terested than I was, as I always had
my thoughts turned to New York
rather than Philadelphia if perchance
«desire and opportunity for a change
coincided. The church, though but
lately decorated at a cost of $6,000,
seemed rather cold and forbidding, al-
most barnlike and capable of seating
some 2000 people. The pulpit was
perched high up and far from the body
of the pews in order to command the
vast galleries. It was well calculated
to crush out all spontaneity in a
peacher and neutralize all the inspi-
ration derivable from a near seated
audience. The organ and choir were
at the rear, which confined the praise
‘service to a fine musical performance
‘of the choir in which the congregation
but slightly participated. But to
‘suggest any radical change in the in-
side of the church would have been
.as great a desecration as tampering
with the Ark of the Covenant and too
greatly disturbed the shades of Albert
Barnes and his historic predecessors.
On leaving the church, a friend, Mr.
Lee, took the liberty of advising me
strongly not to commit suicide by ac-
cepting a Call to this down town
<hurch, undergoing slow and sure de-
pletion by migration of old time fami:
lies westward, saying it had already
gone so far that Dr. Herrick John-
son, a superior preacher, afterwards
Professor in McCormick Seminary,
had for six years vainly sought to
stem the tide and dicouraged by
the fact that the
in the center aisle never had an
occupant, had resigned in dispair.
Needless to say “his well “meant
advice did not impress me until later,
as the idea of a Call was furthest
from my thoughts. But almost im-
mediately a Call was extended and the
matter had to be taken under serious
consideration. Two things decided me
to accept, the most important of which
was that it would satisfy my dream
as a preacher by furnishing me an un-
rivalled opportunity to reach young
men, the medical colleges being close
at hand and the boarding houses
crowded with clerks. As for the de-
pletion by migration this piqued my
courage. One day a parishioner of
mine, a farmer, took me for a ride
through the pine barrens of New Jer-
sey, five miles from Allentown, that
are sandwiched between the rich lands
of Monmouth County on either side.
Away from every human habitation,
in the center of this waste was a cot-
tage and a blacksmith shop surrounded
by so many teams and vehicles cof
«every description that I asked, “Is
there a public sale here today?” “Oh,
‘no these are customers of the smithy.”
“But is this not an impossible loca-
tion, so far from his patrons?” “They
are willing to come any distance for
this smith knows how to drive a shoe,
temper a blade, mend a utensil little
short of perfection.” It was a trea-
sured lesson for life and I counselled
myself that if I just proved a good
mechanic at my trade of sermonizing,
I need not fear about patrons and the
double six pews in front of the pul-
pit would be filled.
I accepted the Call and was duly
installed and for the ten years of my
pastorate in that down town church
had an average audience of 1200 at
every service, though in that period I
:saw almost every residential dwelling
on the several streets furnishing the
supporters of the church vacated and
turned into boarding and business
houses. Ralph. Waldo Emerson says
something like “If a man is the arti-
‘ficer of a superior rat trap, patrons
in plenty will besiege his doors.” Or
in a deeper sense, “If a man plants
‘himself on his divine instincts the
world will come around to him.” In
the second year of my pastorate at
the First Church, my father and moth-
er came from Winchester to visit the
Centennial and attending services, for
‘the first time heard their son preach.
When my father was a merchant in
‘the days when there were no drum-
mers and merchants must needs go in
person to the city to buy goods, on
one of his yearly visits to Philadel-
phia, he took my mother with him
when I was too much of an infant to
‘be left behind. Albert Barnes was
then much in the ecclesiastical eye, be-
ing the storm center of the New
School Movement that disrupted the
Presbyterian church. My mother, al-
ways progressive in her views, sym-
pathized with the position taken by
Mr. Barnes and when Sabbath came
‘was eager to see and hear the pastor
of ‘the First Church and for the first
time attended the service with me, a
babe in her arms. The second time
she was in that church was in the Cen-
tennial year, twenty-four years later,
and looking up she saw standing in
‘the place of that great Divine, that
first six pews.
—_—
babe of hers and might have rever-
ently said that “the travail of her
soul was satisfied.” My dream was
fulfilled in having during those years
in my audience crowds of young men
from that and all parts of the city. It
was a task to try to the utmost the
mettle of a young man of 24, the audi-
ence including not only young men
such as Edwin S. Stuart, James Gay
Gordon, Joseph Caven and many oth-
ers conspicuous later in the business
and political history of the city, but
Judges of the Courts, Supreme Jus-
tices, Trunkey, Sharswood, Stirrel,
ete, and many surgeons, doctors and
lawyers of distinction.
When in the city, Andrew G. Curtin,
of Bellefonte, Ex-War Governor and
Ambassador to Russia, always attend-
ed First Church services and for an
entire winter after his return from
Russia gave me the pleasure of seeing
him occupy my own family pew. In
his youth my father informed me he
was called, “Laughing Andy.” The
gift of scintillating wit allied to an
acute intellect made him the most
popular “stump speaker” in the his-
tory of the State. He was a man of
lofty stature and a rarely handsome
and refined countenance. The most
conspicuous of the war Governors, he
was aways at the elbow of Arbaham
Lincoln with the full strength of
Pennsylvania resources in men and
money. Devoted to the last degree
to the welfare of the soldiers in camps
and field, he was the object of un-
bounded admiration. Amongst my
hearers, Mr. John Wanamaker found
a place when his duties permitted and
was a life long correspondent and
friend. The year before his death he
visited me at my farmhouse at Bed-
ford in company with Dr. Radcliffe,
of Washington, an old-time friend,
and found me in rough farm clothes.
On parting I said, “If you get up there
before I do, tell Wagner, of Paris,
apostle of the Simple Life, that you
saw cne simpleton down here leading
it.
Perhaps the auditor who gave me
the greatest pleasure was John Cham-
bers, the “War Horse” of the Phila-
delphia clergy, who having no service
of his own, attended mine on Sunday
nights, the several last years of his
life. This and the fact that he some-
times stood in the pulpit with me were
sources of the keenest satisfaction,
seeing that in my boyhood he had fre-
quently in summer vacations preached
for my pastor at Bedford and I was
deputed to bring him with my horse
and runabout to the church from the
Springs which, on one occasion, he in-
formed me, he had attended for 47
years in succession. In the pulpit at
that time he made such an impression
upon me that I felt I would give
worlds to preach like him. Never
even afterwards did I hear a man so
gifted, not so much with scholarship
but heaven-born, natural, impressive
eloquence. Among my Elders were
Samuel Perkins, President of the Pub-
lic Building Commissions; George
Griffiths, Superintendent of Sabbath
School; Samuel T. Bodine, father of
Samuel T. Bodine, President of U. G.
I. Company; Mr. Purvis, father of the
distinguished preacher and professor;
John B. Gest, President of Fidelity
Trust Company, and among others
William G. Crowell, Secretary of the
Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Com-
pany. I think he was like the swallow
that builds its nest neath the eaves of
God’s house, the services of the sanc-
tuary of the First church being his
meat and drink. Mr. Crowell was in-
timately associated with George H.
Stuart and Mr. John Wanamaker in
founding the Young Men’s Christian
Association and the Men’s Noon Day
Prayer Meeting in Jaynes Hall. He
told me that he had loaned Mr. Wan-
amaker $1,000 in gold with which he
began business at Oak Hall. He was
a man of such guarded and veracious
speech that I would believe him im-
plicitly, the whole world to the con-
trary. His statement is corroborated
by the fact that John Wanamaker's
Biographer states that it took $375
cash for fixtures and $700 for cloth
and that his entire capital amounted
to les than $2000.
It is further strengthened by the
fact that often when Mr. Wanamaker
met me, even down to late in life Le
was wont to say, “The sight of you
always brings up in my memory my
dear friend, Wiliam G. Crowell.” This
with a certain degree of emotion be-
traying an especial esteem. I also
know that each recurring Christmas,
Mr. Wanamaker made Mr. Crowell a
handsome present. The gift on one
of these occasions was a massive, cir-
cular, gold chain of great length, cost-
ing at least several hundred dollars
and this was the apparent reason of
Mr. Crowell’s allusion to the loan and
that the chain was in grateful appre-
ciation. Mr. Crowell conducted the
purchase of the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot for Mr. Wanamaker for $500,-
000. Shortly after the Centennial,
when Mr. Wanamaker had stocked the
new store with hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of goods which per-
haps did not move out as quickly as
hoped, Mr. Crowell said he heard that
Mr. Wanamaker was in financial
straits and he went into his private
office at 9 a. m. to find a Notary Pub-
lic there. Mr. Crowell’s countenance
fell as he thought the catastrophe had
arrived but Mr. Wanamaker hastened
to reassure him, saying, “William, it
is not so bad as that though this was
the 160th note I have had to meet this
morning.” That a man who had be-
gun business with little more than
$1000 borrowed capital should have
revolutionized the methods of doing
business, built palaces of honorable
commerce in Philadelphia and New
York, filled them with countless mil-
lions worth of always strictly reliable
merchandise, identified himself active-
ly with every good cause of civics, pol-
itics, philanthrophy and religion in
the brief space of one human life, cer-
tainly bespeaks the superman. He
had the greatest capacity I have ever
known to shut one drawer of his mind
and open another. At 12 noon he
could leave his private office where he
had been absorbed to the uttermost in
business affairs, go to a public meet-
ing and make as creditable a speech
upon the subject for which it was call-
ed as if he had never a thought on any
other matter. He could alternate the
full use of his faculties to a degree
possessed only by the greatest histori-
cal characters. His Epitaph might be
well summed up in the words, “Seest
thou a man diligent in business, he
shall stand before Kings.” Something
Mr. Wanamaker surely did.
The body of my pewholders was
composed of what were called the first
families and social leaders of Phila-
delphia such as the Haddocks, Car-
stairs, Bories, Pauls, Bodines, Per-
kins, Earles, Henrys, Savages, Mc-
Ilvaines, Sharswoods, Lippincotts, Mc-
Alisters, Wardens, Neills and many
others. This was sufficiently over-
awing to a country youth but late
arrived from his farm environment.
But I was taken to their hearts and
treated doubtless with much charit-
able patience and tolerance. One of
the homes in which I much delight-
ed to ungird was that of James W.
Paul, whose hospitality General and
Mrs. Grant always elected to enjoy
when in Philadelphia and proffered
Mr. James W. Paul a seat on the
bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States, which he refused. Mrs.
Paul treated me kindly as a mother.
Her youngest daughter, Miss Mamie
Paul, then a scholar in the Sunday
School, who was afterwards married
to William Waldorf Astor, was quite
the most beautiful and loviest dispo-
sitioned girl I ever came in contact
with in Philadelphia. It was not
strange that when her husband was
Ambassador at Rome she became the
preferred and inseparable companion
of Queen Marghereta. It was with
frequent pleasure I sat at the board
of Mrs. McAlister, Portico Row. At
her table I met Julia Schaumberg, the
famous belle of Philadelphia, over
whom several generations of the men
of fashion raved. She was the most
brilliant woman conversationalist I
ever met and rounded out her career
with a much frequented Salon in
Paris. It was her intellectual piq-
uancy and brilliancy that gave her
an unprecedented long social ascend-
ancy.
Mrs. McAlister married Colonel
Heywood, of South Carolina, a critic
and dramatist of distinction. They
removed to Rome and occupied a pal-
ace between the Castle of St. Angele
and the Vatican in which I had the
pleasure of visiting them and being
entertained by them and found that
Colonel Heywood had been honored
with the appointment of the Pope’s
Chamberlain and a daughter had mar-
ried an Italian Count. Mr. William G.
Warden’s home in Irving Place and
Germantown, and St. Augustine, was
to me also a delightful atmosphere of
relaxation, Mr. Warden himself being
an active church worker and generous
supporter of all religious agencies, a
man of great force of character and
vast business activities. At that time
he was sole owner of the Atlantic Re-
fining Company, which remains as a
monument to his organizing genius. I
was honored with his life long friend-
ship and cooperation. I was royally
entertained all through the years by
Mr. Frank Bodine, brother of Samuel,
and a man of exceptionally refined
manners. Abraham Perkins, one of
the last of the old time, courtly man-
nered merchants of Philadelphia,
whose mourning store is now known
as Leary’s Bookstore, treated me,
youth as I was, with the utmost con-
sideration and kindness. But the most
congenial and restful home to which
I was most frequently welcomed was
that of Miss Meta Paul, daughter of
Dr. Paul, occupying a mansion at 9th
and Pine, with her two sisters and her
brother, Rodman. Here in a chair
placed for me in front of an open coal
fire, I had many a tete a tete talk, as
with an elder sister, with this highly
reverenced and cultured woman, per-
sonifying all that was most praise-
worthy in the social traditions of old
time Philadelphia. ;

Frenchman First to Use Gasoline En-
gine.
_ The first attempt to employ gaso-
line as a motive power was made by
a Frenchman, Pierre Ravel, who pat-
ented “a steam generator heated by
mineral oils, to be applied to steam
locomotive on ordinary roads.” Ra-
vel’s engine was fitted to a small ear-
riage, and developed three horse pow-
er.
The Franco-German war put an end
to Ravel’s experiments for a time, but
years later he built a motor car in
which petroleum was used for the di-
rect generation of motive power. In
1876 Lentz invented a burner by which
a mixture of gasoline and other naph-
thas, called massout, was used as fuel
on steamships.
About the same time gasoline was
used as an illuminant in street lamps,
and later a new use was found for
it in the manufacture of varnish and
oilcloth. Gasoline,
crude petroleum, continued to be a
drug on the market until the inven-
tion of the gasoline motor, and its ap-
plication to automobiles, boats, air-
planes, and hundreds of industrial
uses.
Several inventors helped to inaug-
urate the “Age of Gasoline,” but the
chief of them was George L. Selden
of Rochester (N. Y.) the father of
the automobile.—Chicago Journal.

Reforestation New Subject of Re-
search.
Arthur C. McIntyre, a government
research specialist in forestry, has
joined the forestry department of the
Pennsylvania State College to study
research problems in reforestation.
Mr. McIntyre has been engaged in
similar work with the United States
Forest Service, under the direction of
the Southwest Forest Experiment Sta-
tion. There he investigated conditions
in the western regions from the Black
Hills to California and through the
Southwest.
Mr. McIntyre is a graduate forester
from the Michigan State College. He
has spent many years in investiga-
tional work. His whole time while at
the Pennsylvania State Coliege experi-
ment station, where he took up his
new work early this month, will be
devoted to forest research,

Substantial Basis for
Most Common Beliefs
It is a fact proved by actual count
that a large number of persons pre-
fer the risk of being run over through
having stepped from a sidewalk into
the road, than to continue on the curb
If by so doing they are compelled to
bass under some ladder which has
been erected against the side of »
building,
This superstition that it is unlucky
fo pass beneath a ladder dates back
to the time when the hanging of
wrongdoers was a very common oc-
currence. The nearest tree was usually
chosen, but when towns sprung up
and trees were less available, a lad-
der propped against the wall madr
the gibbet,
The phrase “not worth a cuss” which
is often applied to some person or
article, was formerly “not worth a
cress,” writes Mr. Charles Platt in
Popular Superstitions. The expres-
sion, he says, related to nasturtiums,
which were a nuisance to gardeners
because of their habit of scattering
seeds all over the place,
The belief that May is an unlucky
month for marriage is due, he thinks,
to the fact that the Romans dedl-
cated that month to old people, which
thereby suggests that young lovers
had better take a back seat for @
time.
Rest Not Advisable
in Nervous Weakness
Rest cures are going out of fashion
and physicians are prescribing work
cures instead, says Dr. George J.
Wright in Hygeia Magazine. Pro-
longed nervous weakness is usually
considered the result of some other
condition, such as a physical defect
that reduces the body’s reserve
strength or impairs the process of re-
pair so that ordinary physical or men-
tal activity is no longer possible. In-
fections may produce the same effect
of nervous weakness,
Emotional disturbances are particu-
larly depressing and exhausting. Vari-
ous physical ills, such as headaches,
stomach distress, a neck pain or a
choking feeling are often due to emo-
tional or nervous strain, but not to
overwork. Work and worry may be
very exhausting, but work by itself i=
not harmful.
People vary in their inherent mental
and nervous strength as they do in
physical strength. Persons leading a
qulet, tranquil life may never discover
that they are weak mentally or ner-
vously. However, sudden crises, such
as a war, force them to exert them-
selves beyond their strength and a)
breakdown follows,
. Great Engineering Feat
fhe construction of 600 miles of the
canadian Pacific railway through the
Rocky mountains in British Columbia
constituted an exceedingly difficult en-
gineering feat. The syndicate build-
ing the road actually constructed the
line from Montreal to Calgary, 100
miles from the mountains, before an
available route through the ranges
was discovered. The men who over-
came the multitudinous engineering
problems of those 600 miles of moun-
tain construction erected a monument
to themselves for all time. Before the
work was started, the syndicate was
granted terms considered over-gener-
ous by political opponents of the gov-
ernment and there was much opposi-
tion to the project. One statesman
predicted that the road never would
earn enough to pay for axle grease.—
Dearborn Independent.
Worship Monkey God
in many of the central Indian states
the princes, on succession, have thair
foreheads marked in blood from the
thumb or toe of a Bhil, or bowman,
They believe this is a mark of Bhil
allegiance, but it more probably is a
relic of days when the tribe was in |
power in India, says a bulletin from
the National Geographic society. They
have binding oaths, the most sacred
being that sworn by a dog, the Bhil
praying that the curse of a dog may
fall upon him who breaks his word.
For centuries Hanuman, the monkey
god, has been the chief divinity of
these people. Offerings also are made
to the much-feared goddess of small-
pox and stone worship is still found
among them.
Short but Merry Life
The gentleman bee is the world’s
greatest loafer. He sings and plays
all summer long. So long as the sun
shines and the honey is coming in
plentifully, the ladies of the hive who
do the work, let him have all he
wants to eat and let him live in the
hive, But when winter comes his fun
is over. The workers don’t waste
their stingers killing him, they Just
shove him out of the hive with orders
to stay out. With free board and
lodging cut off he dies in a few hours.
So says Mrs. Hamilton, bee woman,
who knows more about bees than most
of us know about humans.—Capper’s
Weekly.

Odd Quirk of Nature
. .
in Recognized Genius
The annals of literary forgery have
nv more pathetic instance than the
so-called Rowley poems of Thomas
Chatterton. When Chatterton, perhaps
the most shining example of precocity
to be found in literary history, was
twelve years old, he conceived the
idea of fabricating the literary relics
of a monk to whom he gave the name
Rowley and whom he ascribed to the
Fifteenth century. By the time he
was seventeen he had aroused some
interest in the poems of Rowley but
not enough to satisfy his imagination,
So he wrote to Horace Walpole, in-
closing some pages of manuscript and
inferring he had other papers and
poems. Walpole wrote, asking to see
whatever documents he might have
and Chatterton sent so many as to
arouse Walpole’s suspicion and cause
him to call in the poets, Mason ang
Gray, They pronounced the poems a
forgery. Walpole dispatched a letter
of admonition to Chatterton. Three
months later he returned the manu-
scripts, which, with the exception of
one poem, never saw print until after
Chatterton had taken his life in a
moment of despair. lle was not yet
eighteen when he died. So brilliant,
so versatile was he that even those
contemporaries who condemned him
conceded that in many respects he was
a greater genius. By some queer quirk
of nature he had chosen to act the
imposter, where he might with every
prospect of renown have produced his
work as his own.—Dearborn Independ-
ent.
Gestures Tell More
Than Spoken Words
It is one of the most difficult things
in the world to act a lie. Gesture is,
in fact, far more revealing—and far
more truthful than speech. Compar-
atively few persons possess complete
control of this “language of the body.”
Neither a golden tongue nor a voice
thrilling with passion is any match
for a contradicting gesture or glance.
Scientific study of gestures has
shown that they fall naturally into
two classes—acceptance or rejection.
Almost every gesture of which we
are capable belongs to one or other of
these classes, for, in truth, the lan-
guage of gesture is much simpler than
the language of the lips. Upward
movements of the head, hands, arms
or eyelids belong to the former class,
and downward movements to the lat-
ter. There are few exceptions to this,
but they only prove the rule. For
example, there Is a way of ralsing the
eyebrows that expresses a sneer, but
then a sneer is deliberate, whereas
the gestures that are really tell-tale
are always made without deliberation.
Got Name and Victory
Tradition says that the “Lango-
oardi” were originally called “Win-
nili.” Under the leadership of Ibor
and Alo, sons of a prophetess called
“Gambara,” they came into conflict
with the Vandals. The leaders of the
Vandals prayed to Wodan for victory,
while Gambara and her sons invoked
Frea. Wodan promised victory to
those whom he should see at sunrise.
Frea directed Winnili to bring their
women with their hair around their
faces like beards. He then turned Wo-
dan’s couch around so that when he
woke at sunrise he first saw the host
of the Winnill. He asked “Qui sunt
isti Longibarbi?” “Who are these long
beards?” Frea replied, “As thou hast
given them the name, give them also
the victory.” They conquered in the
ensuing battle and were thenceforth
known as “Langobardi.”
Finns Once Powerful
" The Finns are descendants of a west:
¢rn branch of the great racial family
of which the Mongolians are the mod-
ern representatives in the Far East.
But there is evidence that the Finns,
or a closely allied race, were at a pre-
historic time spread over a large area
of Europe. In the course of time they
mixed with other races to such an ex-
tent that some of their original char-
acteristics have been modified or lost,
while some of those of other races
have become Finnish. The original
stock is now represented in Europe in
a good many other places than Fin-
land. The Hungarians, the Lapps, the
Samoyeds, the Esthonians, and vari-
ous people of Russia may be num-
bered among these representatives.
. Plants and Light
All plants require some light. Sun-
iight supplies the energy which causes
chemical reactions to take place in-
side the leaves. These reactions con-
vert the raw food elements Into food
elements available to the plant, says
Nature Magazine. Therefore, such
sun-loving plants as geraniums, roses,
and abutilon, when set away in a dark
corner, do not thrive so well as when
placed in a sunny window. On the
other hand, plants which like a mild
amount of sunlight, and this includes
palms, aspidistra, ferns, and many of
the vines, do not thrive if put in a
sunny location.
Too Much Care
The human body is good for only
about 70 years anyway. Why keep it
too much wrapped up in cotton wool?
You won’t succeed in living forever.
If you are healthy use your health
even to the point of wearing it out:
that's what it is for. As Bernard
Shaw says, “spend all you have be-
fore you die.” You cannot use gour
cake and have it, and the worst of
all ‘is ‘to let it mold on the shelf,
Don’t outlive yourself. A master
