There is no man in the Northwest who is 80 tborougbly identificd with tho Daptist denomi- pation, the propagation of Daptist doctrine, or the extension of the material interests of that denomiration, as the Rev. Dr. W. . Everts. If achureh i3 to be dedicated anywhere in the country, Dr. Everts is the first man thonght of io conduct the services, since he is sure to draw an sudience, and is not hkely to lot its members go until they have either thrown the contents of their pocket-books into the contribution-box, or have given a pledge for the payment of a sum of money in the future. Dr. Everts is some- times called the Daptist Bishop,—a title which he probably does not reseut, but is 1ather proud of. sinco it is expressive both of his prominenco and of bis cuergy. e is more frequently czlled the grent churck-beggar on account of the fro- quency and the success with which Le callsupon the brethren of his own and of gister churches to give to the Lord; but heisnot merely aman who can so operate upon humen emotious 28 to make a man feel ashamed unless ho gives his Jost dollar 10 a church enterprise; heis also B careful ana wise firancier, whose skill is fre- quently catled in to give advice a8 well as aid to weak churches. The denomination cannot af- ford to be jealous of & man who, by bonesty ard efficiency, has given to the Bapticis of the whole Northwest a name zod power nd to no de- nomination ; much less afford o lose the & Jices of the man most capable of restering their burned edafice and erecting & second which will bo a lasting houor to Chicago. Dr. Everts was born in Washington County, New York, in 1814, from whence bis father emi- graced to a_placo & fow miles from Detroit, where he dicd in 1833, leaving a fam:ly of mine children, the eldes:, William, scarcely out of his teens., The mother, who is etill living, removed Lack, at the request of her dying husband, to 1he Last, that her childron might be educated. Willi=m's fitness for the ministry being observed Dy a friend, it was decided to send him to Ham- Jfion College, N. Y., where he was obliged to make bis waz, 88 0 mony others have done, ex- ibiting au energy and purpose which won' the admiration of his tutors, and the udship and ecteem of his ncquaintances. ‘At tho £ge of 22 Le left the Theological Sem- inary to take chargo of the Tabernacle Church in New York City. Here be at once developed the leading characteristics that haye &0 marked bis course since. He immediately became fa- mous for bis zeal in the work of church oxten- ston. After a timeaparé of his congregation baving determined to_egiablish & new caurch centre, le left the Tabernacle Church and founded the Laight Street Church, on Si. John's Park. His success bere was equal to his highest expectations ; bat the severe labor whick bé bad imposed upon himself bad so impaired Lis health that he was obliged to teek a chapge of scene and a period of reet. A trip to Furope wae accordingly undertaken ; bat it did pot result in a complete restoratiou of bealth. Onbis retun be therefore undertook the control of a quiet country Baptist parishin Central New York, whoge very name, Wheatland, indicated the rural surroundiogs of the place. He inepired his little country church with much of his own migsionary zeal: the congregations incressed, end. before ha left, be had been in- strumental in causing the building of a fine house of worehip. Ho next accepted 2 call to the First Baptist Chureh of Lowsville, Ky., where he stirred up the pure minds of the Baptists in that city 1o the undertaking of many new church enterprises. In 1859 be accepted s call from the Firat Baptist Church of this city, whero he bhas lzbored con- tinuously, with & few vacatioral iatervals, from that time to this. He assumed the toral care of the First Charch in Aogust, 1859. In this society his most signal_successes have been won. In no ortion of its history haye its works of benevo- ence, its missions. and its Szbbath-school en- terprises been so flourishing. At his coming, & debt of $14,000 agninst tho church existed, which was & great obstacle to the progress of the society. The new pastor put his band to the work of clearing it of, and at a memorable meeting, in September of the first year of his pastorate, tho sam of £12,000 was pledged to- waras lifting the incumbravee. On the follow- ing Tucsday evenipg o rcunion was held for congratuiation, and thierc the sam was increased to the full amount of the debt. During the following year the Now Street 3is- sioz blath-School was removed to a more cligible field, and the echool was, for a long time eubsequently, kuown as the Shields Mission. During tho éame year what is now known as the North Star Baptist Church was founded. In tho epring of 1863, the Indiapa Avenue Daptist was built and dedicated as a mirgion of the First Church. In 1861 tho Society rold the eite of its former church building to the Chicago Board of Trade, and commenced the fine struc- ture on Wabash avenue, which was laid in ruing oy the recent great fire. Onthe consummation of that event, tho Society, induced by tho ear- acst perenagion of Dr. Iverts, donated its old tuilding, valued st 210,000, to the Second Clurch, and gave some £15,100 beeides to the #averal other Baptist orgamizations of the city. Theso donations caused a new spirit of cuter- prize to spring up among the Daptists of the <ity. ‘The church, under the Iead of its esterprising nstor, it now engaged in rebuilding once mors ts hose of worship, and with his enterprize and well-known ability in._such watters, thero is no question about ity consummatiog the work. Asa fmnchr.r, Dr. Evertsis forcible and ear- nest. disconrees are never written ; but are delivered with merely the proparation’ of the “heads,” which aro placed upon n simple siip of paper. Reporters do not find the Doctor a very casy epeaker to follow. Ho usually commences bis discourse_deliberately, and spoaks for a few minutes calmly aud distioetly, aud with the most perfect command of lanzuage in the expression of his thoughts ; but as he becomes interested in his theme, ho appears io forget to some ex- tent the importance to his auditors of clearncss of vocal ntterance, and 80 in his most impassion- ed aud rapid flights it is quite difticult 10 obzain more than a zeversl outline of his thought, Still bis very earnestness is impressive. Soino of his best thoughts are enunciated cach week at the rogular praer wectings of the Society, where bis perfect acquaintauce with tho wants of his peo- plo cuables him to say what is best end fittest for their edification. 1t would bo #:ugular if a man so earnest znd £0 positive as Dr. Everts ebou!d not have some evemies. Such a man is sure to step on some- bedy's corns unlezs be gets ott of the way. le is sare to run connter to some prejudice or over- turn somebody’s plans. Dat with ali his push aod positivencss, Dr. Everts bas a broad charity for thoee who differ with him (with perhaps ono or two exceptions). and this charity helps him greatly over the bad spots. It would be difficuit tofind in Chicago a minister who has accom- phisbed more in the line of Christian efori than Dr. Everts. =g o THE RELIGIOUS PRESS.

The religious papers continue to discuss the late address of Prof. Tyndall, and arrive ot a great variety of conclusions upon it. THE CHBISTIAN USNION remarks tha - The most threatening aspect of this philosopby in_its relation to religion seems to be with regard to immortality. ~Yef, by its own admission, science stands but on the threshold of the higher probloms of life. As to immortality, just as to a perzonal God, its strongest word must be one of ignorance rather than of denial. For the hope of immortality, as for the senso of a Divino Father, we are re- manded to that voice withia tho sonl, that high assutance which at times trauscends, ss by the pover of divinity, all the cvidence of flesh and Eeneo; to tho testimony of the Luman beart 1n all ages; aad to the truth revealed 1 Christ.” TIHE INTERIOR thinke that *“ Tyndall pives for martyrdom, and courts 1¢ with all tho ardor of a Stylite.
