The emergency tariff, which preceded the permanent law, ' marked a very derided turn In business in gen eral toward prosperity," he asserted. "Mere study and effort was given In the framing of the new law than was i given te nny previous tariff legisla tion." said Mr. Fordney.

The speaker said the average ad va va eorem rates under the McKinley tariff law were 2.1 per cent; In the Wilsen bill 23 per cent; In the DIngley bill 20 ner pent: in the Payne bill 1814 per cent: in the I'nderwoed bill.

I clothed as we are and filling their days I as we fill ours. But from 'he ether vlien the vision of purity and love ' and of sacrifice I will get courage te leek aciess the river." I Dr. Abbett was born at Roxbury. Mass.. December IS. 18.15, and was the third son of the Rev. Jacob Abbett, a Congregational clergyman and au thor. Dr. Abbett gave up the editorship of the Illustrated Christian Weekly te become editor of the Christian Union, -n which he had been associated with the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. The lives of Dr. Abbett and Dr. Beecher ran parallel In many respects. I After the death of Dr. Beecher, Dr. Abbett, in lSfK), became pastor of Plymouth Church In Brooklyn, and re mained there until 3801). when he re signed te take up his later work as editor of the Outlook.' Dr. Abbett and Dr. Beecher were among the firt prominent clergju.en in the 1'nited States te take the position that religion had a vital application te the social and civic problems of the time. He and Colonel Theodere Roose velt were close friends, and during all the colonel's years In public life Dr. Abbett was one of his warmest pup potter. At the end of his Fecend term as President, Colonel Roosevelt became an associate editor en the Outlook with ' Dr. Abbett. j It was while he was pastor of PIv- i ' mouth Church that many of Dr. Ab Ab eott's opinions brought upon him the , charge that he was "heretical." In I one sermon he said that ctolutlen was net merely the Darwinian theory of the Isimival of the fittest, but rather the leetrlne of growth applied te life, and' that all life proceeds by natural proc esses from lower te higher forms bv forces acting from within. He described himself us a "thelstic evolutionist." In another sermon he originated another quotation which gained wide circila i lien : "He who denies the brotherhood of n.an Is as much nn infidel as he who denies the futherhoed of Ged." Dr. Abbett's phjslque was slight, but the amount of work he was able te de was prodigious. He was interested in an a-teiiKhingly large variety of subjects, und took e leading part In stores of movements for civic and seual betterment. In his enrlv youth, after ijradu.ttlen from the University of the City of New New Yerk. Dr Abbett studied law and was admitted te the bar, and afterward" pncticed in partnership with hi? brothers, Benjamin V. and Austin Abbett i'ving up tin- law for the. olegj. he studied for the ministry of the Consrentlenal Church, with his uncle, S C. Abbett, and was ordained at Farmlngten, Me., in ISflO His first e' srge was in Terre Haute, Ind., where hi remained five jears As editor of the Christian I'nien, wl i-h was later te be known as the Outlook, bin work marked him as n rnun of treat premise and one who saw re re llfien, net tee narrow! convention alized, but overlapping and splrltunllr itg manv of the social and cull prob lems of the time. These who were near him siv that extraordinary working power was one "f his chief characteristics Moderation and sanity were the chief notes of his temperament and attitude. He com manded attention by his tunsparent sin cerlty and by n gift of elcur persuasive statement. The range of Dr. Abbett's connection with civic enterprises was wide, he had intimate association with betterment work In muu fields He held efhfe in at least e score of organizations for city State and national, and even Interna- i tienal refeim, nrd was actlvelj Inter- estee. in many euierh, including secle.

I I Dr. Abbett was known net only te his friends and co-workers but te the I public as well, as a rational optimist; one who sees clearlv present obstacles 1 and evils, but Is cenhdent that the ere j ative forces in society are making for ' the freedom and hupplnes of man, and must prevail. Before sturtlng en what might be , called his ministerial career, he, in rol rel 1 Inboratien with his brother, wrote two nevels: "Cene-cut Cemers" and j "Matthew Carney." , i no mom important volumes are: 'The Result of Emancipation In the niaies, tjiu Testament Under the emergency act, he said, Blue-jay te your druggist The simplest way te end a corn is Blue-jay.
