ciations against imposture and for promoting relief for the real suffering. It proposes to investigate every case referred to it, to provide work for the deserving, and to expose and punish impostors.
* Of this class the Independent and the Christian Union are conspicuous. The latter is the acknowledged leader in the new departure in theological thought and inquiry now attracting so much attention and discussion in the religious world. It was founded by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and others. It has been for several years under the man- agement of Lyman Abbott, D.D., as editor-in-chief, who has associated with himself in that labor Mr. Hamilton W. Mabie.
Lyman Abbott was born at Roxbury, Mass., December 18, 1835. His father, Jacob Abbott, was one of the most useful and influential men of his time, especially in lending and directing the youth of our country to the happiness of good living, intellectually, morally, and spiritually. His rare harmony of spiritual and practical gifts made him in an unusual degree the interpreter of high truths to plain people. Lyman, his third son, enjoyed the education of his father's companionsliip and guidance, and received by direct inheritance a habit of tireless industry, a simplicity and directness of speech (which makes him one of the most popular and effective writers and speakers of the day on religious and moral themes), and a vivid insight into spiritual truths.
Mr. Abbott graduated from the University of New York in 1953, and spent some years in the study and practice of law with his brothers Benjamin Vaughan and Anstin. He contributed to several legal works published by them and to various periodicals. After a brief study of theology with his uncle, John S. C. Abbott, he entered the Christian ministry in 1860, accepting a call to the pulpit of the Congregational Church at Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1865 he entered the service of the American Freedmen's Union Com- mission as general secretary, and gave himself actively to the work. In 1866 he became pastor of the New England Congregational Church in New York City, adding the duties of a pastorate to that of his secretaryship, until 1869. In 1871 he became the first editor of the Illustrated Christian Weekly, a journal designed and organized by him and published by the American Tract Society. This position he resigned in 1877 to accept the joint editorship of the Christian Union with the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. In 1881 Mr. Beecher withdrew entirely from journalistie work, and Mr. Abbott became and remains editor-in-chief of the paper. Under his guidance the Christian Union bas steadily gained in influence and authority until it has become widely recognized as the leading exponent of a spiritual and progressive Christianity. Its notable characteristics are the recognition of the presence and power of God in the history of to-day, interpreting current events from a moral and spiritual standpoint, and endeavoring to indicate the lines of er auf . or decay in accordance with the divine law, an attempt to point out and emphasis. the

FIFTH DECADE, 1870-1880.
for the pursuit of every kind of intellectual cultivation New York is unsurpassed in the multiplicity and efficiency of facilities.
The great city, alas : also presents some of the blackest shadows of social life to be found elsewhere. These shadows are intensified and made more hideous by their contrast with the bright side of society, which, happily, greatly preponderates. New York, unfortunately, is becoming in a large degree a city of only two conspicuous classes, the rich and the poor. The great middle classes, which constitute the bone and sinew of the social structure, have been squeezed out, as it were, by the continually increasing pressure of the burden of the cost of living in the city. They constitute the great bulk of the suburban dwellers to whom the elevated-railroad system is an inestimable boon.
New York has become a mighty magnet, attracting everything ; hence its marvellous growth by accretion. Possessors of wealth, of genius, and of enterprise have come to it from all parts of the Republic to enjoy its manifold advantages of education for their children, the cultivation of æsthetic tastes, the blessings of scientific instruction, the facilities of commercial life, the chances for winning fortunes, and the pleasures of almost boundless social privileges and enjoyments. Toward the great metropolis the authors of inventions and the projectors of enterprises of every kind continually gravitate, for here encouragement and capital are ever ready to extend aid to the deserving. Here the three great inventions or discoveries of our day-the telegraph. the telephone, and the electric light-have had their greatest development.
These advantages, with an abundance of places of amusement and recreation on every hand (twenty-three theatres and scores of other haunts of pleasure, in 1953), and a multitude of church spires pointing toward heaven, together with a salubrious climate, admirable arrange-
essential unity of Christianity underneath all sectarian differences ; a recognition of the progressive development of spiritual truth and a consequent development of theological statement in harmony with it.
Mr. Abbott is the author of a number of books : " Jesus of Nazareth, His Life and Teachings," 1869 : " Old Testament Shadows of New Testament Tenths." 1970; " Morning and Evening Exercises," selected from the writings of Henry Ward Brecher. 1871 ; " Laieus : The Experiences of a Layman in a Country Parish, " 1872 : " A Popu- lar Religious Dietionary, " 1873 : " A Review of New Testament Notes by JJacob and John S. C. Abbott." 1581 ; " Henry Ward Beecher : a Portrait." 1853 : " Family Worship," 1883. Mr. Abbott is engaged in preparing a commentary on the New Testament. He is widely known as an effective and loquent speaker, with a singular gift of putting abstract truths in vital forms. He has the lucidity and simplicity of style which his father pos- sessed beyond all his contemporaries : he also has a depth of mental and spiritual life. a vitality of conviction, and a richness of imagery which are distinctively his own. Mr. Abbott has received from the University of New York the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

HISTORY OF NEW YORK CITY.
ments for the promotion of health, and markets unsurpassed in the variety and quality of meats, fruits, and vegetables which they daily display, make New York one of the most desirable dwelling-places on the globe.
There are in the vicinity of the great city charming seaside resorts, cool mountain retreats, and thousands of quiet rural homes open to the wearied denizens of the town, easily accessible. The most remote may be reached in a few hours and at a trifling expense. . Up the Hudson are the towering Highlands and the Kaatsbergs, and beautiful valleys where pleasant farmhouses are open for the reception of visitors and sojourners ; on the sea-shore are Long Branch, Coney Island, Rockaway. and Fire Island : and there are numerous sylvan picnic grounds scarcely beyond the chimes of Trinity. Coney Island, lying at the door of the city, seems like a work of magic. A dreary waste of sand less than a dozen years ago, it has been transformed into one of the most magnifi- cent and attractive watering-places in the world, receiving every year millions of delighted visitors.
New York is now the metropolis of the Republic. By the close of this century it will probably be, in population, wealth, cultivation. and every other element of a high civilization, the second city in the world. To the eye of the optimist the time appears not far distant when it will be the cosmetropolis.
