to enforce it, furnished clements of political excitement bordering on civil war Clay, the champion of tariff, forced by his party be- yond what he had intended, had either to advance with the tide or lose his political prestige and party leadership. Calhoun, the opponent of tariff, in order to retain his political influence in South Carolina and his leadership of the opposition, was compelled to become State rights man and an out and out revolutionist. Clay and Calhoun, therefore, met and there resulted a compro- mise, intended more for the safety of the leaders than just settlement of the difficulty. The question of public land claimed it's share of attention, showing how, in political econo- my these several factors seem to be inextri- cably interwoven. Leaving notification and tariff, Prof. Sumner took up the question of the banks from the time of the panic of 1919. This subject will be continued in the next lecture.
 sunday at New Haven.''
 From an article under the above title, pub 1ished in last weeks Neao Fork O6sercer, we extract the following :-
 At o'clock we are at the end of the aisle in Center church. We do not have to stand and wait until some time after the services begin, for we are at once led up to the third seat from the front. Very soon the congre- gation occupies a large part of the audience room. It is largely composed of mature or venerable men, Except my friend, under whose guidance am visiting the high places of this University town, do not see young man. We are sitting so near the pulpit that
 
 Ex-President Woolsey sits in the pew before us, and President Porter sits not far behind. Their heads are not so white as many of the others.
 Dr. Bacon enters the pulpit alone, and alone conducts all the services. This aged man moves and speaks as if he did not wish any help from man. He is not large man, but he has brow enough for giant. His text is from the thirty y-seventh Psalm: "The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide" Henry White, Esq, for half century an influential lawyer of New Haven, a deacon of this church, an able, honorable Christian man, is the subject and the illustration. He was born in New Haven in 1903. He was an only child, not spoiled, but wisely trained by believing. cultured pa- rents who were richly rewarded for all their loving carefulness. Among his papers notes of sermons made by him when thir- teen years old, clear, full and intelligent Most of them are sermons preached by Dr. Taylor, but two of them are by the father of Dr. Bacon. 'fThese notes, says the preach CT, ''gave me the only knowledge that have of my father ever preaching in this pulpit in which I have ministered so long" Mr. White entered Yale College as freshman in D1 II. IL. De- tered as sophomore. He was bright, fair gentle youth, ''not greatly inclined to athlet- ic sports; he did not strive nor cry his voice was not heard in the streets" He graduated in 1921, as the Valedictorian. For two years he studied law, and then became a tutor in the college about the same time that Dr. Bacon became pastor of this church. Though not church member he took full courses in theological studies. considering them an important part of a truly liberal ed ucation After he had entered upon the practice of law and had become husband and father, he made public profession of his faith. When not yet thirty years old he was made deacon of this church. in which office he served faithfully and efficiently for forty-seven years. His professional career was successful and spotless. In every rela- tion of life his experience verified the assur- ance of the text in regard to him in whose heart is the law of his God. It is comfort ing sermon, for it shows what human nature can become under the influence of divine grace and Christian education. None of the | services are long.
 It is an hour before nightfall when we leave the church-time enough to visit the cemetery which is but few minutes walk north of the college. It is very seldom that the visitor can find such city of the dead in. the very heart of the city of the living. It is actually crowded with costly monuments and beautiful memorials. We could spend some hours here with these names, records and shadows. That column surmounted by globe is the monument of Jedediah Morse, D. D., the geographer, the father of the in ventor of the electric telegraph and of the founders of the Ne11 YOrk O6seT'Uer Not far away is the memorial of Noah Webster, IL. D., the Photographer. In another part of the ground is the monument of Commo- dore Foote the noble Christian officer who created and commanded the victorious navy of our inland waters. It is time for the gates to be closed, and we finger but moment here at the grave of Harriet Trow- bridge Allen, whose character, culture and beauty made her shine a star among the brightest. We will think it strange that such a wife and mother taken, until we know as we are known. She was the loving friend of another lovely and beloved wife and moth CT now resting in garden of the dead near the shore of the Hudson. Can it be that these transplanted souls are not rejoicing in closer fellowship, where the leaves never fall and love's day is endless We cannot us, who never draw near to Him without seeing our own in the angel that ever bends above the mercy seat.
