Dr. Abbott suffered a severe attack
of bronchitis at his country home in

He returned to his city home two
weeks ago.
Tho Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D., was
ono of the most active leaders in many
avenues uf religious and civic thought
in the United States. Aa preacher,
editor, author and theologian he ex.
hibited a quality of character which

serenity of spirit.

and one who saw religion, not too
narrowly conventionalized, but over,
lapping and spiritualizing much cf

After the death of Mr. Beecher,
Dr. Abbott became pastor of Ply.
