Waltei-, sexton of , Sr. Paul's Chapel, one of the churches of the immensely wealthy Trinity Cor poration of New York City, hanged himself in the steeple the other day. The arrow shows the window at which he was found. This chapel is fumpus not only for its nge it being the oldest church in New York City but there part of the ceremonies for the first inaguiation of George Wash ington were held. The church is in the lower Manhattan business sec tion and has been a landmark for more than one hundred years. of a Methodist General Conference. It is not n pleasure jaunt; it is real business. A body of Christian men in real earnest for the redemption of the world. Christian enthusiasm will run high at times, and tears will flow down the faces of these men and wo men as they listen to the victories. Hartzell Pathetic ngure. ' Bishop Hartzell after twenty years in Africa, returned about three months airo. ho had not seen fcis wife and children for many months. He had planned upon retiring "to build a home and spend a few years. Scarcely had he reached New York when a tele gram announced tfre death of his wife. At her grave ho received another message to come at once, his son 40 vpnrs nf ntrn a minister, was dying. He scarcely reached him, when he passed awHv. Since then a sister has been taken. I fancy when the name of Bishop Hartzell is called there; will be few dry eyes, and some one will silirt an old fashioned hymn, and voice after voice will take it up, and while the tears will flow we will realize that heroes are still livimr and Bishop Hartzell will soon heJar the call to the church triumphant.
