Beiieves Therels a Place for Sex Among Preachers—
Says People Cannot Be Sooided Into Religion—Love,
Her “Theory—Takes Husband’s Place in Pulpit.
STAMFORD. July :4.—-"l believa the
church cannot drive people into the
Kingdom ofOod. nor can they be
scolded into the fold, but we can love
them in. and so I embody in every
sermon the wonderful love of God for
the children of men." said Mrs. Ann
Coutant Torrey. first woman ordained
in “irflt‘ld c‘nty.
Mrs. Torrey in her own personality
exemplifies that all encircling love
which she says is the motive which
should draw people to salvation. A
mild-mannered. exceedingly active lit.-
tie woman of little over forty years.
aha tells how exceedingly glad she is
that [he has been abs through] the
action of the Fairileld county Congre-
gational association to take up the
work which death compelled her hus-
band to lay down.
"For twenty-one years." said she. "l
was privileged to travel by my bus-
band's side. Two years ago he was
taken from me. and there seemed
nothing it: life for me but to carry on
his work.
“I believe a woman can reach people
in the ministry mori- easily than the
man preacher can. People in trouble
are. more apt to confide in. and depend
upon the sympathy of a. woman. And
as for talking." she. whimsically added.
“who ever said a woman could not talk
as long or as well as a man 7"
in securing ordination as a minis.-
tcr Mrs. Torrey entered upon a life in
which shu- has alwavs boon ilcoplv in-
tcrvsted. Sha- was born Anna (Mutant.
a member of the Dutch Rofnrmotl
church, in the little village of Kings-
ton. New York. until she left to outer
Kimball l'nlon :icadcmv in Merlden.
X'. H.. from which she was graduated
in 1900. Shr- hnd c\p-'ctod to K0 to (‘01-
lele. but her health was so precarious
that she abandomd this idea and
married her husband before he left the
theological seminary, and as soon as
she had graduated.
Tlurlng her husband's lifetime she
life she and her husband had “'Oi'le
together. At Bangor seminary she not
only attended many of the classes with
him. Ind wrote e-ays upon subjects
that ho was required to do. Each win-
ter it was their custom to take up some
special form of study. “A twenty-
)“cars' course in the college of experi-
ence.” Mrs. Torrey calls the training.
During her husband's lifetime she
frequently supplied tha pulpit for him
when lie was obliged to be abmnt.
\Vhen he was in college and carried a
small church to help pay expensrs.
Mrs. Torrey stayed part of the time on
the field. and drew remuneration from
the. Vermont Missionary society.
\i’hen her husband was in the hospital.
suffering from eyo trouble. she took
his place for him until he was able to
resume his ministerial duties.
“'hen Mr. Torrey died the. Long
Ridge Congregational church where
he was. asked his wife to continue his
work. After a short time the concie—
cation extended a unanimous mil to
her to become its pastor. and it re-
mained only for the council of (‘on-
gregattonal ministers to ordain and
license her. The majority of the men
were satisfied with her ability and
knew her experience, 'but one was just
a little dubious of the ability of a
woman to occupy the pulpit. After
seeing and talking with her he voted
to make the. decision of the council to
ordain her unanimous.
The Long Ridge church has steadilv
(rained under her pastOrato. There am
over forty members now. and it is soon
to increase that membership. Many
improvements on the church have
been made. "or parishioners speak in
terms d extravagance of her. and not
only within her own parish. but out.
side she is esteemed. She has been
asked to supply the pulpit of the lion-
tist church in Ranksvillc. N. Y.. where
llaptlats and Methodists arc uniting for
rummer services “You see I am not a
bit bigoted." lTlIP. explained. "l was
born in the Dutch ”Reformed church.
ordained into the Congregational. and
preach in the Methodist and llaptist
churches."
