 The Waterbury American says: ''The l pulpit of the First church was occupied Sun day morning and evening by Dr. Timothy ! Dwight professor of sacred literature at Yale College. Professor Dwight is one of the best
 known men on the Yale faculty. His depart ment is that of New Testament Greek in the Theolopical seminary where he is highly val ! ued by the students as an instructor for the | breadth and Hberality well accuracy of
 his scholarship. He is also prominent
 member of the international committee which
 published the revised edition of the New Testament. Gossip also says that he is the
 most likely man to succeed to the presi-
 dency of Yale when Dr. Porter retires. Stopping shoulders, badness, gray hair and Q
 very serious, almost stern, cast of counte-
 nance, give one very different idea of him
 from what personal acquaintance discovers. | In the pulpit he appears the modern repre- ! sentative, as he is the lineal descendant of
 the old New England divines. But any man ! who has seen him elsewhere, making an after
 dinner speech for instance, would hardly
 recognize him for the same man. He can l parry and thrust with the best, and his wit
 has made him favorite with all the alumni
 associations of the college. The serious
 ness of his pulpit countenance at such times
 takes on an air of injured innocence when ap- ! plause follows his hits, sort of mild inter- i rogatory-What in the world are you laugh ing at? I did not mean to say anything | funny forgive me and I will never do it
 again-which adds greatly to the humor of
 his remarks. But in the pulpit he is serious
 ness itself and certain quality of unaffected
 earnestness gives force and dignity to what ) he breaches convincing by the very power of I simplicity. On Sunday Dr. Dwight chose
 for his text clause of John i, 46: Come
 and see.'
