Mr. Brown’s father was a member of the building committee, when the present house of worship was erected on land donated by his grandfather. Al- Aman who made millions by his mechanical inventions, a man whose inventions have changed the daily life of every American, told me, says Edward Everett Hale, in the June Cosmopolitan, that he asked fifty boys what handiwork they would prefer; and that, in every instance, the boy replied that he would like to bea plumber. The curious truth was that plumbing was the only mechcan- ical art which these boys, trained in our modern life,have seen in practice.
