Cabinet as Secretary Of the Navy. in
which high Office he continued during The
whole term Of Mr.. Adams's administers
lion.
His services in that department are
fully known 10 he country and daily ap-
precialcd BY the navy, whose glory and

promote.
Upon The retiring OF Mr.. Adsms's Cab
met, on The 81 Of March, 1929, Mr. South

ceived him with open arms and with al
the affection due 10 worthy son, who

him amidst the exciting scenes through
which lie passed in manhood. Firmly
convinced Of the reality and importance
OF Christianity. he was, on all III occa
sinns, the bold and eloquent advocate AM
defender Of order, morality, and religion

in his ripper years, did, under the hlessinl
Of God, youchsafe 10 him in death u
hopes, lis consultations, and lis salvation.
