[Tliiu is the second of u series
of articles on the ministers of
Harrisbtirg churches, which will
be a Saturday feature of the Tele
graph's church page. In these
articles, it is the intention to por
tray the characteristics of the
men who are leaders in the city's
religious life and activities, to
give their characteristics, and tell
what is most interesting and im
portant in their work.]
Self-educated, a former school
teacher, a builder of young churches
and a deep student and authority on
the interpretation of Shakespeare and
the Bible—such is the pastor of the
"Mother Church of the Methodists"
in this city, the Rev. "Dr. John IX Fox.
Dr. Fox has been in the city as pas
tor of the Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church since March, 1910. In the four
years of his residence here, his influ
ence In the life of the city has been
felt in many ways. Dr. Fox has not
won his place among the people of
Ihis city by sensational means. In !i
tiuiet, dignified, characteristic way, lie
has stepped into city affairs and taken

His Lecture on the "Passion Play"
SATURDAY EVENING,
his proper place as head of one of the
city's oldest churches.
The unusual thing about Dr. Fox is
that fact that he has attained all his
deep culture and scholarship without
prolonged training in an institution of
learning. His degree of doctor of di
vinity is honorary, granted by Dickin
son College In 1902. Six months' at
tendance at a normal school in Bucks
county and three months at Dickinson
College completes the tale of Dr. Fox's
education in school and college.
IJtcrary Scholar
Despite this fact, he is a scholar and
authority on the best things in litera
ture. His interpretative readings in
Shakespeare are known in this city
and at every place in which he has
been located. He has made interpre
tations of the Book of Job and of
Isaiah, and although he is not profi
cient in Hebrew and Greek, he is fa
miliar with the best discoveries and
writings of the master Bible authori
ties.
Dr. Fox came to this city from the
State Street Methodist Episcopal
Church, Trenton, N. J., where he had
spent nine years. Prior to his call to
Trenton he had been for twenty-seven
years in churches of the Philadelphia
conference.
The churches he served In Philadel
phia from the time he entered the
ministry there in 1874 until 1901, were
Haddington, Frankford Avenue, Fifth
Street, Salem and Grace. He helped
build up several of these churches.
His greatest achievement in building
up a church occurred while he was
pastor of the Pottsville Church. Here
he started the movement which has
resulted In the erection of a church
building which cost $150,000. Of this
amount he raised $20,000 during his
pastorate.
Forty Years in Ministry
Dr. Fox hasj been in the ministry
for forty years. He was a school
teacher In the schools of Bucks county
before he decided to enter the minis
try. and his training as a teacher has
been of value to him in his work.
Grace Church Is about to ontertain the
annual assembly of the Central Penn
sylvania Conference, and Dr. Fox is in
charge of the arrangements.
He was a busy man when seen at
fils home, 212 Pine street. Callers
were frequent, and all found the same
quiet, dignified man, who gives the
immediate impression of his scholarly
mind and his deep thoughts on worth
while subjects. He is a man well
worth knowing.
No Afternoon Meeting
of Hill Association
The managers of the Allison Hill
Men's Christian Association have an
nounced that owing to a cancellation
of the speaker arranged for to-mor
row's "Pleasant Sunday Afternoon"
meeting, and in view of the fact that
an after-church meeting in the even
ing has been arranged, the afternoon
meeting wtll not be held.
The Hill Association endeavored to
get the Rev. Dr. McCuaig, at present
lecturing in the city, to speak for them
some Sunday afternoon, but this could
not be arranged. When Dr. McCuaig
offered tc speak on Sunday evening
after the regular church services, and
stated that the same plan had been
successfully carried out in other cities,
the Hill men arranged for a 9 o'clock
meeting. The meeting will start at
8.45 with a short song service, the
