WILL TAKE UP NEW WORK IN PENNSYLVANIA TOWN, He Had Become Well Known Through His Wark Among the Guests of the Great New York Hotels. y Rev, Archibald H. Bradshaw, assist- ant to Rev. Dr. D. J. Burrelh of the Marble Collegiate Church, on Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, has renounced his faith, As a reformer the Rev. Bradshaw has become a prom- {nent clerical figure not only in this olty, but all over the country. He now puts upon himself the vestments of tho Protestant Mpiscopal Church and will oon leave New York to take up his work in a small Pennsylvania city. Rev. Mr. Bradshaw d!d as much for the reputation of the Marble Church as he Actors’ Friend did for the Little Church Around the Corner. The field of labor was different, however. One Pastor became famous for his kindly feeling toward the men and women of the stage, the other because of his friendliness to hotel guests, Ww Among Hatels, Realizme how great the transient Population of New York ts and how many hotel guests are practically -with- out home or religious aMllations when In this city, the Rev. Bradshaw set about a plan of operations which would bring those who are plously inclined and who are stopping here on a visit within the scope of his daily religious, Jabors. Marble Church has housed more hotel guests than any other in New York. Tall, broad-shouldered, with the ap- Pearance of an athlete, the Rev. Brad- shaw sat io the vestry of the church and talked to an Evening World re- porter to-day. “I do not wish to go into the detail of my conversion to the Episcopal faith,” he said. ‘But it is no sudden step on my part, no religious inspiration which has) taken me out of the ranks of the reform. ers. I have contemplated the change for some time and have studied for months and months before my announcement was made. I charge it all to evolution. A natural and developing growth of my re- Nglous self. Won't Make Excuses. “I decline to make excuses on account of the people of my congregation, all of whom I love dearly. “My ancestors in Wngland were all members of the Eatab- Mshed Church, and NM is really a return to the first and firm belief upon which my faith has always rested in spirit. “But, really, in point of fact the fun- damental principle of the reformers d not materially differ from the primal Church, We all enter the same door to secure our salvation.

As the assistant of the Marble Church was out for a long walk, the pastor did not find him at the church at the usual hour. ‘Mr. Bradshaw, in his college days at Princeton, was a football player of some renown, He has always thought and view of the broad side of the moral of his serm Reese Screen the hig! ution ‘views ‘him. with the dee} ‘and most heartfelt respect. ——==>__—_ J@TT’S FRIENDS INDICTED.
