One'of the most prominent and most success- tul pastors in Chicago is the Rev. Dr. W. w. Everts, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of this city. Heis 53 years of age, and yet has prowise of many years of good, hard labor in a0 Lord’s vineyard, before ho shall lay down tiis preacher’s commission. He is enecially aud widely knowu all over tha country for hus pecn- liar ability in organizing chinrches aod BOLICITING MONEY for the Lord's temples, and not merely the KNortlwest, but the Eastern and Soutbern States buve scatiered all over them memorials to the Lactor's zeal and ability, in' the ebaps of fine shurch edifices, all paid for, and happy conere- zazions frea from debt. Dr. Lverts tuok Enarge of 1 THE PIRST TAPTIST CHUECK In1859. That Society then was carrsing & debt »f about 14,000, which was caucelled in one woek by pledges from tha people under the fer- vid appeals of the Doctor, In about four years afterward, the congregation_decided to abandon the o'd church and church-site on the corner of LaSalle aud Washiogtoa streets and move far- ther south. The ground was sold to the Chicago Board of Trade for 363,000, and, at the last meet- ing of the Church in the old building, the sum of §30,000 was raised for a new Louse of worghip. The old church-building, and a portion of the sum received for the site were distributed to ihe other DBaptist Churches in the city, tho Sccond Church tsking the building, rafued at €10,000, while sums ranging from E500 to 6,500 were given to eome half dozen other churches of the same denomination. On eutering the lecturs-room of the new church the sum of £83,000 was raised on a gin- gle Ssbath by the pasior's appeaiz, and when, Tn 1866, the main_audience-room was dedicated the sum of §53,000 was raised. Theso amounte were largely raised through the splondid begzing ot Dr. Everts, and ejnce that time HE BAS BEEN CALLED UPON. to dedicate chiurches in sli parts of the comntry, where any difiicalties were apprebended in the way of raising moncy. It has come to be under- ctood that a_debt, Do matter how large, can be ligudated, if Dr.” Everts will but coms and ask for the money. Sumo of the work done during THE LAST FOUR YEARS is 28 follows: Syracuse, N. Y,. £28,000; Cleve- land, nearly $30,000; Janesvilie, Wis., £12,500; Waukesha, Wik, $6,500 ; Jackson, 3lick., $25,0003 Biughameon, N.

Besides these Dr. Everts haa DEDICATED CHURCHES in Fulion, Chester Junction, Gardner. Wyoming, Chawpaizn, Evanston, Highland Dark, Woodt ptock, Mendota, Centralm, Reckford, Rock Ielaud, and in Elgin, Iinow; some ha!f-dozen chureties in New York City ; a similar number in Clircago ; churches in Tarrytown, Franklin, Clif- «&i, Willlamsburg, New York; some four churches in Louisville, Ky.; one or_two in Bt. Louis ; churches in Bay City, East Saginaw, De- troit, and other placea in Michigan. No manin the Baptist depomination has doune g0 much work in tlus life as Dr. Everts, and Le -stands as & sort of father of the Church in' the West— eowectimes called Bishop, with some reason. It may be added that THL GNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO is larzely indebted to Dr. Everts for the founda- tion which it to-day possesses. e RITCALISHL . Father Hobbie, au advanced Ritualist, was re- fused permission, a shori time ago, to argaunize & new Epincopal Church in Washington, D. C. The prohibition is regarded as a Low Church triamph. The Rev. George C. Betts, of Kansas, took ad- vantage of an invitation of the Rev. Dr. Hol- land, of St. Louis, to preach in the latter's chureh, to delver a rousing sermon in favor .of Rituslism. .

The Church of Central New York has suffered in the loss of Judge Doolittle, who fell over- board from an ocean steamer a8 it was making Queenstown, itreland. The Southern Churchman suggests tho rem- edy for dull sermons to be the realization on the part of the hearers that they come to church not 1o Lear novelties, and to be amused, but to be reminded of old truths and to be instructed.

REVIEW OF AMUSEMENTS, wo THE DRAXNA P Has suffered, as less abatract entities have done, from the heat during the last week, and the dis- content of managers with expensive companics bas not diminished at all. There bas been causa for grumbling ouly tn the waywardness of Fortune, and the disregard of people for indoor suffocation. The great source of. disgust was the corner-stone ceromony, which, while it brought glory on some, worked disappointment to othera. Mayagers looked forward to the day with a calm assurance of at least two.large houses for the week,—tho matines and evening performances of Wednesday. But with the ob- atinacy of her sex, Fortuno Lept the cerc- mopics up till after the hour profitable for & mwatince, and by the time the crowd dis- persed the pieces at the various theatres were nearly finished. The Wednesday matines was disappointing all round. The scenes of last year's jubilee were not repeated, and even at pight the theatres were comparatively deserted. It is not difficult to account for this atate of af- fairs, and managers partly deserve the con- sequences. As a rule our theatres are notas woll ventilated as they mightbe, or as people have aelighted to think them. Our evenirgs are generally cool, but the theatres do not get a breath of sir. The windows are too small to be of any service, and patural ventilation is evidently insufficient. Oaly by artificial means can the air be changed rapidly enough in summer to keep the sudience measurably comfortable. A4 most of the houses will be closed in a week or two for cleaning, managers would be coosnlting their own in- terests by studying up this question, and guard; iug agawst similar disasters pexs summer, Huoley’s and the Academy of Music nesd most attention. The Adolphi, by situstion and con- struction, enjoys the privilega of being tha cool- est honse in the city. McVicker's is spacious, and partially open on every side. But the alleys are not wide enough to admit & good current, and the windows are too small for great seryice. The events of the week have been very inter- esting, inasmuch as we have bad here together the bost tha the legitimate drama can give us in this country at Hooley's; -ubmnin; little Iady starring i & new picce at McVicker's; and all tho variety talont inthe country struggling for the supremacy in three other theatres. HOOLEY'S THEATER. Mr. Daly’s suporb company at Hoolev’s have completed theiz third week, and will remain in Chicago but one week longer. Mr. Gilbert’s latest pieco froduced in this country, ** Char- ity,” has been playioglall the weck, except at the unfortunate Wednesday matinee, when “ Monsieur Alphonse” was repeated. - We bare already expressed at length our favorable opin- jon of this piece, and our share of the praise justly carned by the galaxy of artists who sus- tained the respactive parts. It needs only to be said that such a performance is &3 noarly perfect 24 anything we can desirs to see. There is little in it for the most exacticg critic to take excep- tion to, and a vast amount to remember with satisfaction. ** Charity " was better played than any other drams yet pressoted by Mr. Daly, and inall ics detads and accessories is mocel upon which Mr. Hcoley ehould endeavor to work his Dew company. This week, being the last, is to be given up to a changs. ~Monday, Tuesdsy, and Tnursdsy nights the new version of ** Oliver Twist " will bs given. No author suffers so mach by drama- tization as does Dickens, and, while ‘‘ Oliver Twist " is the beat drama ever written from any of the fimz author’s works, the version that has enerally been accepted is full of grave defects. 'be New York preas praise Alr. Daly's version as mach superior to thoothers. Hence we may ex- pect a decided success in1t. The drama is main- ly mnteresung in that it gives little Bijon Heron an opportanity in ths role of Ouver Twist, Miss Fanoy _ Davenport, her celebrated part of Nancy Sikes, Mr. Davidge the ridiculous part of Bumble. and Mr. Fisher his much admired Fagin. Alr. S. 8. Russoll plays with the compeny in tho part of Charley Bales, and that wonderful comedian, Mr. Lams, as The Artful Dodger, must necessarily he unequaled. T'he week is to be one of Swong contrasts. ‘Wednesday night * Monsieur Alphonse” will be repeated, with Misa Sara Jewett as Raymonde. Miss Dyas mill by that time be in New York, and Misu Jowett will have o raro opportunity to gain additional laurels. Friday night s Daven- port will have s benefit, when Shoridan's + School for Seandal " will be given, with Miss Davenport as Lady Teazle. One novelty in this performance will bo ita oxcellencs. Of this we can pesk confidently. Not #0 of the other. The piece is to be costumed in modern attire, after the precedent made b Macready at Drury Lane. 'VICKER'S THEATRE. Mr. Gayler's new play, * With tho Tide,” has been played at this houao every evening during thg woek, and at the matiness Wednesday aud Saturday, and has been received with marked eigns of approval.
