Morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven [Conn.]) 1848-1894, 1890-01-31

Dwight, began his address by taking for the
subject of his discourse the comparison Of
Daniel RIM his character to the situation OF
the modern young man. Daniels success
was due to the determination in his heart.
It was his souls health that he denied him-
self the meat from the kings table and the
wine from his cellar. He was very human
young man, and had to fight the fight of life
that all young men have to.
STORY.
There is story that have already told to
generations of my own parish, as fast as they
have grown up to appreciate it, and to several
generations down here, but you have way
of growing up quicker, and 80, perhaps, you
have not heard 1t before from me. At one
time, in the harbor of Havana, there was
gathering from ships of various nations
English, Spanish, American and others for
good time. 1t was, as it happened. the
ii.h captain proposed her najestys health.
to which every glass was drained but one,
and that of . young American sailor. This
breaeh Of etiquette led to disturbance
which attracted the captains attention, and
1t was explained to him that the American
had refused the Queens toast. This natural
~ aroused the gallant captains patriotic ire,
and he demanded an explanation.
The young man arose pale and trembling
at the enormity of his offense and replied:
Captain, have an old mother up in PENN
sylvania, who when went away from homo
made me promise but one thing, and
drop Of liquor; and, captain, won't do it.
Well, the result was that the young man be-
came the most popular on board. But to
return to Daniel
He decided that it was expedient to obey
God rather than man. The Kings meat and
wine were dainties, and incidentally there
was involved in Daniels decision the subjec-
ton of the body; but he laid the foundations
of the kingdom of God in the subsection of
the bodily appetites. His manhood was
mighty. Standing by his integrity, he per-
sisted and succeeded. Some people think
that in order to establish great principle
you must have bloodshed or heavy expenses,
but that is not always true. Often man
has to euffer little by being misunder-
stood and incur the blame of others, but in a
community like this, the man who stands by
his principle will have the respect and aid
of his companions. Let no one in his moral
life look for hardships more than are neces-
| sary.
That reminds me ofa soldier in the Army
of the Potomac who had left sawmill to go
to the war. By steady good work he rose to

influence he realized tina when the war was
over he would have to step down from the
exalted position of colonel and go back to the
old sawmill, but he didn't want to do that.
So he went back and forth in front of the
lines, counting danger and trying to die in
glory, but to no effect and he had to go back
to the old sawmil]. Now there was some
reason in this case for subsection to danger,
but there is no reason for you as Christian

pays. If from the advantage of my years I
could make you understand that if you wish
to stand we'll in your community and have
the confidence and respect of others. you
must preserve integrity in character, should
accomplish great thing. Christianity is
not alone a doctrine, but it is life. St.Paul
said that he delighted in the inner man.
That was the deepest thing in him. DR..
Phillips Brooks recently said that man was
really what he would be if he were alone, free
from the scrutinizing look of others and free
from the restraints of society. Life to me
grows more glorious each year but the liabili-
ties and dangers that surround youth seem
to grow more terrible with the advance of
civilization. Do the will as You now know
it and you shall lead true Christian lite.
TRIBUTE TO JOHN MASON BROWN.
DR.. Twitchell spoke very highly of Col
onel John Mason Brown, who graduated
from Yale while he was in college, and who
is reported as dying this week. He ssid:"As
was sitting at the table of one of my old class
mates last Monday in Chicago, my friend
read from the morning paper the news that
Mr.. Brown was dying. We both knew him
very we'll when we were in college. He lived
just as he died, noble, kind and Christian
man. That life was begun here within the
walls of these college buildings. Every
Yale man ought to be proud of John Mason
Brown. The life that you lead here is most
likely the same as you will lead in the out
aide world; therefore see to it that it ia with
out reproach, and is founded upon the prin-
ciples of true Christianity
