Presbyterian Church -- died of heart failure on Easter Sunday, April 23.  He
was 85.

	Born in Essex, Conn., Kirkland, graduated from Princeton Theological
Seminary.  Known as one of the greatest preachers of his age, he served
pastorates in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Oklahoma before going to the
Fifth Avenue church, where he served as pastor from 1962-87.

Church.
