 IN HAMDEN YESTERDAY. Leading>Points of B Sermon by Rev. Clarence Greeley Delivered In Ham, den Town Hall.
 Rev. Clarence E. Greeley, assistant sec retary of the International Law and Order lesgue, delivered in Hamden yesterday (where the Connecticut State league was founded and in the hall where the Ham, den league was organizsd) discourse the essential leading features of which are given below. MT. Greeley was congrstu, lated after the discourse by leading men present upon the success which has attend ed the work of the Connecticut league, with the organization of which he was conspicuously identified. The June con. vention at Chicago of the International league was postponed until August and on MT. Greeley devolves the labor of organiz ing it. He has recently been asked to edit law and order paper in Boston. His discourse yesterday was in reference large ly to the crucial point as to whether citi- zens may properly leave enforcement to
 Psalm xix :, 61. The bands of the wicked have robbed me, but have not forgotten thy law.
 A citizen of the United States may apply this text to the law of his country, as David is supposed to have done under the Hebrew theocracy.
 Take thought suggested by the text as in Biblical times the prophets stimulated the public officers, so voluntary orQsniza tion may properly do today.
 We regret to assume that citizens may not properly leave the enforcement of law to public officers unaided.
 This may have been practicable in Da- vid's time-not now-for:
 1, The age of steam has made possible gigantic corporations, for good, but also for evil.
 2, Law defytng trusts Of municipal, and even of national proportions, exist.
 8. Courts and prosecuting officers need to feel the presence of law enforcement societies, not alone those of an opposite nature. Perhaps this ought not to be necessary. Perhaps 1t is to be regretted that it is necessary.
 4. The millennium Is not yet come. Phillips Brooks said of Boston: ''The Law and Order league is the only thing that stands between us and. utter despair"
 5. Dr. Gladden, vice president of the International league, wisely advocates the election of suitable officers in all osses. Still the same old temptations might beset the new officers which afflicted their pre- deoesaors. Not merely liquor dealer's as- sociations, but other corporations as we'll may become "the bands of the wicked ; for the temptations are greater to-day than in the past. Here, where law is king. the attention of all citizens (not alone of law defying societies), is abatractly necessary. but if that is impracticable we must have representative leagues.
 The International Law and Order leapue will meet ct Chicago under the auspices of the Worlds auxiliary during the week be- ainning the 7th of August. New Haven will be represented.
