In this field he found an in- creasing demand for his work, and though he removed to Boston in the winter of 1878 to organize and build up a people's Episcopal church in that city, and for three seasons had Sunday afternoon lec- tures in Union Hall, which were intended to lead the way to this kind of parish, he gradually found that in the field of editorial writing there was an unorganized parish which awaited him, and in which his suc- cess was such, that, on taking advice with those best able to counsel him, he relin- JULIUS H. WARD. quished the special work for which he came to Boston. He henceforth gave his tunc entirely to the thorough and compre- hensive studies winch prepare one to discuss the questions in religion, social movement, and the direction of education, that require treatment in the daily and weekly press, and in other places where public discussion is carried on. Mr. Ward has been connected in tins service, mainly with the "Boston Herald," since Septem- ber, 1 .S 7 7, but it is also known that he is a constant leader writer on the subjects which he has specially studied, for the New York daily and weekly press. In addition to his special work in the "Herald," he has also had charge of its literary department, and its important re- view articles are nearly always from his pen. He also writes frequently for the monthly magazines, on literary, social, and religious subjects. He resides in Brook- line, and though not connected with any parish, is an active and influential church- man, and combines what is strongest and best in the high and broad schools of religious thought. He was married to Olive Elizabeth, daughter of John and Mary (Bradford) Witter, of Brooklyn, Conn., at Trinity church, in that town, September 2, 1862, and has two children : Mary Olive, born April 6, 1867, and Grace Witter, born June 12, .S76. Mr. Ward's constant labors as a clergy- man-journalist have interfered with his intended contributions to literature, but during the present year he has completed a constructive study of the relations of the Christian church to our own time, which has recently been published by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., under the title of " The Church in Modern Society," and he is understood to have two other books on hand, one of which will be devoted to the New England development of the century, while the other will be a short- ened history of the origin and growth of the Episcopal church in America.
