The incident has_been related often, and at least once before in this column, but an article by George MacAdam in the New York Times tells the whole story for the first time. That is the excuse for repeating it here. It was in May, 1870, that a benetit performance was | given for George Hollahd, an actor | born in England, who had delighted | hundreds of thousands of people in | his time, but had fallen upon lean times in his old age. A few days | Around | before Christmas he died, and the duty of arranging for the burial de- | volved upon Joe Jefferson, one of his | Oldest friends. He wus burled from | the Church of the Transfiguration ; apd the newspapers reported the | services. | A week later the Evening Tele- | gram announced that the Rev. Wil- | liam T. Sabine, rector of the Church of the Atonement, had refused to bury Holland because he had been an actor. Swept the country, and to which nearly every newspaper, and it would seem, most readers, had some opin- jon to contribute. Reporters were sent to Jefferson, to Rev. Dr. Hough- ton, rector of the Church of the Transfiguration, and Rev. bine, of the Church of the Atone- ment. Their stories did not differ in the main, though there were one or two defails that varied. It was bl d that Jefferson had gone 25c Soaps ALL : 5 for $1.00 ous to mention here.

It occurred to Jefferson, who was accompanied by one of the dead man's sons that he should mention to the clergyman the fact that Hol- land had been an actor. To this Mr. Sabine replied that he had 2 dis- taste for officjating at sucha funeral, but that he was willing to bury the deceased from his house. Later he admitted to a New York Times reporter that there was noth- tng in the laws of the church to for- bid the burying of an actor from the church, but he said that as he had Always advised his congregation to keep away from the theatres because nO moral lesson was taught by them, it would have peen inconsistent to bury the actor. Jefferson said that whea Dr. Sabine refused he was shocked and mortified, chiefly on ac- count of the young man who had to hear his loving father treated as a ws a reprobate. As they rose-te leave the room the actor asked if there was ne other church that might aid him in his dilemma. To this the rector replied in the memorable words that there was a little ehurch around the Big Values at ADOLPH’S HARDWPRE + Don’t Forget The Dates OCTOBER 14-15 Your Dollar Will Talk On “Dollar Days corner that might oblige him. the Church of the Transfiguration. “Then if this be so,” quoth Jefferson, “God bless the little church around the corner!"" The clergyman said that Jefferson had not used these words, but had said, ‘All credit to that lit- tle chureh.” It is highly probable that the ecclesiastical version of the conversation rather than the drama- tic one, is correct. We quote from Mr. MacAdam’s article: “A wave of angry protest swept the country. In the newspapers there were editorials, ‘letters to the editor,’ special articles and poems, a whole ‘sheaf of them, singing the praises of ‘the little church around the corner’ and re-echoing Joe Jef- ferson’s benediction.~ “Undoubtedly the popularity of George Holland had something to do with the intensity of the protest; so also had the fact that the refusal of the rites of Christian burial eame at the Christmas season, a time when ki W d h L vt Fall Mitts Regular 40c for 29c No. 3 regular $2.65........

On January 19 all the theatres in New York threw open their doors in & freat testimonial to Holland, and incidentally a rebuke to Sabine, Atl the noted Stars volunteered their ser- vices. It was perhaps the most re- markable day in the history of New York theatres. Poor Sabine!
