THE HURON EXPOS
The Poor Man in the Pilch
Man's Church.
BY GEORGE J. !ASON.
If a poor man attended the Sundan-
morning service of one of our New York
faahionable churches, what kind of a
reception would be accorded hirn ? The
secular newspapers have, time and time
again, said that the poorly dreased man
would receive a very cold welcome in
the rich ina.n's church. The hhurches
thenaseIves ,have deniedthe charge.
They have said that the poo lr do not
care to come where the wealthy worship,
but, if they did come, they svotild not in
turned away.
faced, broad -shouldered, ahort-haired.
He evidently recognized me as a -man and
a brother, for he struck up a conver-
sation at once. He had taken refuge in
the big porch of the church from the
now fast -descending rain, and urged me,
with much show of good -fellowship, to
accompany him on his way toward
Tenth avenue, at which point he assured
me he would "blow me off," or, in or-
dinary English, would treit me to a
good five -cent glass of whesky. Very
happily, my contract did not cafl upon
me to start a crematory in my stomach,
and I bade my companion kdieu, advis-
ing him to use what he declared was the
" only tinpof cakes and some coffee.
ence he had in' the world"
It occurred to mf6r a platee, not long
happy thought, to find an answer to
this question. Become a poor man
yourself," said my inner conseiousnesa
to me, "go to the churches uf the
wealthy, see how they will treat you,
and then make a truthful report of your
experience. For several Sundays, there-
fore, I became a sort of spititual de-
tective, with this difference, that, where-
as the ordinary detective is retained for
a particular side or party, my investi-
gations were for the actual facts, and
without bias in either the clerical or
secular direction.
I donned a, suit of well-worn clothes
—my "chore suit," in domestic parlance
0. --an old, soft white hat, an ill-fitting
collar, partially held in place by a faded
neck -tie of ancient 'pattern ea pair of
unblackened shoes (a modest but self-
assertive hole in each), and, with a
three days' growth of beard, 1 started
out on my churchly journey. I do not
-wish the reader to think I looked like a
tramp, for I did not. I looked—at least
I tried to look—like a tolerably clean
mechanic out of work and funds, but
putting on the best appearance that he
could.
My first visit was to Grace ohurch, on
the corner of Broadway and Tenth
street. It was a beautiful day in the
early spring, and the sun shone brightly
on the crowd of faultlessly attired men
in Prince Albert coats and tastefully
dressed women holding gilt-edged, vel-
vet -covered prayer -books in their slim,
delicate, aristocratic hands, as they
streamed into- the main entrance of the
sa,cred edifice. I ansumed a humble,
deferential air, and followed the multi-
tude. I soon found myself i4 the rear
of the church on one side, staading in a
crowd of what the boys call " tony "
looking people, some of whom looked at
me with a curious eye. Only for an in-
stant, however, for they were all wait-
ing for seats. The introductory music
had ceased, and I could hearthe voice
of the clergyman as from afar off, re-
minding his hearers of the duty of con-
fessing sin with "an humble, lowly,
penitent, and obedient heart." An
-usher hadf-way up the aisle would now
and then beckon some of the crowd to
step up, and they would be shown seats.
I moved up to the front with the rest.
Of course, all those with ladies had to
he be accommodated first; that was natu-
ral aid proper. Finally, when it came
to the group of single men, the usher
put them in pews, in each of which there
was room for one or more. ,At last he
beckoned to me. He did not look sur-
prised or annoyed; in fact, he betrayed
no feeling whatever, but gave me a seat
about ten rows up from the d,00r, and as
good as had. been given to Many of my
companions. My exit from the church
was not noteworthy. A .few finely
dressed ladies and gentlemeni glanced at
me hurriedly, and passed oa. An old
woman in black gave me a kindly look,
and seemed half inclined to, speak, but
idle did not.
At St. Paul's Methodist ichurch, on
the northwest corner of Fourth Avenue
and Twenty-second street, I Was given a
- seat so promptly that it almast took my
breath away. The church was not full;
there were many vacant pews. The
people sitting around me I noticed were
plainly dressed, and there seemed to be
a studied effort to fellow the rule of the
church, "not to adorn themselves with
gold or pearls or costly array." I sat
alone in •a big pew by myself, and left
the great _edifice, whose imposing ex-
terior contrasted strangely with tile
democratic appearance of its worshippers,
without, so far as I could see, receiving
a critical or curious glance from any one.
The Sunday morning I attended the
Rev. Robert Collyer's church, on the
corner of Thirty-fourth street and Park
avenue, it rained hard. I had no um-
brella; at least I carried none, for I
wished to give emphasis to my honest
poverty. But I was double -vested, and
my outer coat was a thick Pea -jacket of
the coaraer kind, such as sailors are wont
to wear, and that had done service for
many a year. As I walked toward the
church I met the Rev. Dr. Oollyer. He
gave me a sharp glance possibly of
recognition, for I had met him before in
a journalistic capacity, and without
doubt he must have thought I had be-
come, speaking from the " clothes-
horse " point of view, very much run
down, and the veriest kind of a Bo.
hemian. I waited till he had entered
the church, for I certainly did not, at
that time, want to come in pontact with
the genial clergyman, and then I ascend-
ed the steps, and entered the main door.
The weather was 30 bad thit there were
not many in attendance. A. few stood
at the rear and waited to be seated by
the ushers. I stood near the left side
aisle, and carefully perused a placard
having reference to pew -holders, -and
whieh stated that strangers would be
seated as soon as -possible. I had barely
time to read the statement ere a medium-
sized., spectacled young mau approached
me, and inquired if I would not like to
have a seat. I told him I would, and
he showed me to a pew about ten rows
from the door. The people sitting
around me were a solid-looleing,
do class of people. They seemed by
their faces to show the caldness of the
- philosopher mingled with ' the icy self-
pessession of the ; polished man of the
world. There was one exception, how-
ever, and that was a thin -faced, sallow -
complexioned little man Who sat at the
other end of my pew. He was dressed
almost as poorly as mySelf, but with
more regard to ecclesiastieal taste" and
Sabbatarian propriety. That is -to say,
his clothes were black clath, but -Tell-
worn ; he boasted of a faded umbrella
and a Derby hat of musty ,look and un-
certain color. I I think the man must
have been a new convert ta the Uniitari-
an belief, for new converts are 'always
e trnest, and he took the mest active in-
terest in the services froni beginning to
end. He was kind enough, aftee finding
the hymns to hand me a laaok. .He sang
-himself, and appeared sad hat I did not
join him. He would have been sadder
if I had, On my way -out of church 1
met a trampish-looking young man, red-
-
The Church of St. Mary' the Virgin,
in Forty-fifth street, near Seventh av-
enue, is "High Church" Episcopal. I
went there one morning, and, atter
waiting with a crowd of other people,
was shown to a seat about one-third way
up on the side aisle. The congregation
was made up of all sorts of people—
rich, half -way rich, and poor. Across
the aisle from where I sat were women
in diamonds and men with faultless -fit-
ting suits and extremely polished airs.
In my own pew there was a little girl in
a calico dress, an old man who -looked
like a mechanic—a real, not a bogus, me-
chanic—a young woman who might be a
clerk or sewing -girl, and a colored, or
rather (she was so dark) 1 should say, a
black, woman, next to svliom I had the
honor to sit. The pews had no cushions.
We all kneeled together during the
various parts of the service, breathed
the incense (which was not unwelcome
in my own immediate vicinity), and
were entranced almost into forgetfulness
of time and place by soprano solos of
the sweetest, most delicious despription.
was for a time much interested in a
curious character who sat in front of me.
Ile was a short, chunky, double -chinned
man, with a black moustache. Fie wore
a colored calico shirt, a high collar, a
black necktie in which thereavas a small
diamond pin. Evidently he was either
an old sport" or a Washington Mar-
ket butcher who had been much given to
seeing life in its lower phases. But he
stayed through the service, and seemed
to take as sincere a part in it as his more
refined, resthetic neighbors. He rode
down in the same car with me. His
marvelously shiny hat was cocked a lit-
tle on one side, but he looked serious,
thoughtful—as if, in fact, some, ray of
spiritual light had penetrated into his
heart. My experience in other churches
was somewhat of a similar kind. • In all
of them I was given a seat and not sub-
jected to much attention of any sort.

A Primitive Grist Mill.
Sheriff McKellar, of Hamilton, a few
months aeo presented to the Canadian
Institute in. Toronto, the old "Bragh,"
or hand grist mill, used in the early
part of this century in a Western 'Ont-
ario settlement. The following par-
ticulars, of its history are furnished by
the Sheriff: "The want of a more
effectual means of grinding the grain
was sorely felt, and when, late in 1818,
or in the beginning of 1819, a stone
mason named Menzies came to the little
settlement, bringing with him a complete
set of tools of his trade, Peter McKellar,
my father, who, possessed great mechan-
ical talents, thought he saw 'the way
to supply the need. There was no
steam in those days, and no Water mill
or water power -convenient to run one,
therefore my father underteok to make
a hand mill, or " Bragh " as it is more
correctly and euphoniously called in the
original as spoken by ,Adam and Eve.
A large granite boulder was found on
lot A, No. 1 in the towhship of Ald-
borough, at the top of the 52 mile creek,
close to the county line of Elgin and
Kent. From this boulder my father
and Menzies made the " Bra,gh ' stones,
the former fitting thein into the frame
early in 1819, just as it appeared when
shipped to the Goiania' Exhibition in
England in March, 1886. The mill,
when completed, was set up in my
father's house, and there was in constant
use for some years by the whole settle-
ment. I can well remember seeing the
big, strong Highland men corning in at
evening after their day's
clearings. Ellett would co
little sack of grist, which ii
would grind, and then return to his
home, often two or three miles distant."

Columbus Watches
—SOLD AT—

No. 1 Campbell's Block, Seaforth,
To C. L. Papst, jeweller, Seaforth: Dear ir
I feel it my duty to tell you how pleased I am
with the Coltur bue Watch I purchasedfrom you
some eight months ago: it has kept time accur-
ately, beyond my most sanguine expectations;
I fully believe it will not vary a minute in a
year; it will run fully 36 hours with one wind-
ing ; I have no hesitation in recommending, it
to any person in need of a Watch as a correct
timekeeper; I would not part with it for any
other make I know of. Yours truly, Jacoe MC -
GEE, retired farmer. Egniondville, November
6th, 1886.
Mr. Papst, Jeweller, Seaforth. Sir: The Col-
umbus Watch that I purchased from you about
'a year ago is a beautiful timekeeper, and I am
well pleased, as it has given me entire satisfac-
tion. I have had other watches but found none
so good and perfect as the Columbus, which I
now wear. ReSpCCVI.111Y, PATRICK KEATINO,,
C. L. Papst, Jeweller, Seaforth. Dear
The Columbus movement I purehased from you
sonie time ago, in a Boss filled case, is as repre-
sented, and I don't that there is any watch
made in the world that will keep better time, as
mine has never varied since I purchaeed it, and
I would tell everybody to get a Columbus move-
ment when wanting a good watch. Yours truly,

This IS to certify my thanks to you for, the
great clue you have effected in me with your
Rheumatic Repeller. Many in Seaforth
wilire-
memher how helplessly I have been laid up with
rheumatism, not being able to work, and suffer.
ing exerudiating pain. Your Rheumatic Repeller
has, _I firmly believe, cured me of my rheuma-
tism, and to -day I an able to do for myself again,
and ani a happy man, for which I aro very grate-
fully Yours, HUGH CONSTABLE.
C. L. Papst, Jeweller: When you said take the
Columbus watch if you want a timekeeper, I
a little indifferent, but I must say my °pin -
was agreeably changed, as I can find no
Dater watoh as a timekeeper than the Colum-
bus ; so say I, take the Columbus movement
every time. Truly yours, L. Mullein'. October -
28th, 1886.
C. L. Papst, Esq.: The Columbus watch which
you recommended me to take, is a first-clasit
timekeeper, and I think there is no better. I
am well satisfied with my bargain. RoBeire

. Papst, Jeweler, Seaforth. Dear Sir:
The Columbus movement which I purchased in
a screw bleed case, some 10 months ago has
given me entire satisfaction, but I broke what a.
jeweler, to whom I took it to have it repaired
when you were out of business for a short time,
called a ruby piinand that man charged me 51.75
for the ruby pin. However, I am thorougbly
convinced that the Columbus movements are the
best that are made for time, if they are all as
good as mine. Yours truly, JOIIN WESTLAKE.

compare it every little while with the leading

Want,. waterloo, Feb. 3rd, 1887.
1 got this watch so wond'rons cheap
That I could scarce believe it good,
But science with its searchings deep,
'Has done what custom never could,
And I have proved the truth of this
That highest value must attach
To that which never goes amiss,
The American " Columbus" watch.
'Its neatness is as unsurpassed
As its good qualities are proved, .
'Tis accurate and ina,de to last,
A watch by punctual men approved_
An able judge would pick them out
Of every maker's in a batch,
And none who tries will ever doubt
Papst's great " Columbus" watch.
The makere to the public sell
Their watches at, the lowest price,
And all they do they do it well, .
Without one trait of false device.
They don't incur a dime of debt,
' They have no doubtful schemes to hatch,
And never has been equalled yet,
The American " Columbus" weteh.
I do admire the highest art,
And love in all things excellence,
For beauty seems the dearest part.
And worth the most approved by sense ;
Beauty and worth combined have they,
And if you would have both to match
Decide without delay to buy
Papst's great " Columbus" watches.
