cant,- with no rash iconoclasm, and they contain a broad, liberal spirit and an earnestness which show that liberalism need not be cold. Dr. Greer had gained the reputation as a preacher, all administrator, and a man of admirable discretion and remarkable executive and personal power, when he was invited to St. Bartholomew's Church, in 1888. He has since strengthened that reputation. The man who can bring things to pass does a far greater work than that which his hands touch or his brain conceives. Dr. Greer is such a man. His courage, his faith in man, his efforts for man, accomplish a magnificent work in his own parish, but even more and greater in the world outside. The great Parish House on Forty-second street, near Third avenue, occupying nearly a whole block, is practically his creation, though the house was built by Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt, on land bought by Cornelius Vanderbilt and his wife, and was endowed with 8525Q,000 by Mrs. William H. Vander- bilt and with S5400,000 by Cornelius Vanderbilt. Dr. Greer is the director of all the parish work, is the head of everything in it, and no pastor in a poor parish, where the people are unable to provide any assistance, is more conscientious than he in the performance of his multifarious duties. He is profoundly interested in sociological questions, and since he has presided over St. Bartholomew's Parish, in New York, has inaugurated several new, a11d elaborated the old 'system of caring for the poor and bettering their condition, physically as well as morally and spiritually. The Parish House embodies the idea of a practical man and a thorough student of the needs of poor people. It contains, in ad- dition to quarters for the various religious clubs connected with the parish, social clubs for men, women and boys 3 medical, surgical and eye and ear clinics 3 an employment bureau and a loan bureau. It can be truly said of Dr. Greer that he has discer11ed the signs of the times, and he is an important factor in the solution of problems in practical Christianity. p A preacher of power, a man of wonderful executive ability, Dr. Greer is also an author of considerable note, having published a number of works, among them the following: The Historic Christ, 'f The Preacher and His Place, From Things to God, Visions. In 1895 he delivered the Lyman Beecher Course of Lectures at Yale College.
