BEEcHAM BIDS FOR K1PL1NG MS

Among those who have made the
highest bids for the original manuscript
of Rudyard Kipling's poem, "The All
sent Minded Beggar," which is being
sold for the benefit of the wives and
children of the British Reservists who
have been ordered to South Africa, is
Mr.. Beecham, Of st. Helens, England,
who offered $525 for it.
Mr.. Beecham's name is familiar to
every newspaper reader in America, as
he is proprietor of the famous pills
which bear his name. In addition to
being lover of things artistic, he is
also most public spirited man. The
great manufacturing center of st. Hell
ems, of which his enormous factory is
one of the largest industries, recognized
his good services to the town by electing
him recently to the mayoralty, backed
by the unanimous petition of the mu-
nicipal council Of st. Helens. Without
doubt that executive ability which has
assisted him so materially in building
up his vast enterprise, will be of great
service to his fellow townsmen.

DR., GORDON AT BAITELL
ELOQUENT SERMON no STUDENTS
YESTERDAY MORNING.
Well Known Boston Preacher Gives
Valued Advice from the Pulpit to the
Yale INSTRUMENTATION n Great Thing.

Rev. George B. Gordon of Boston
filled the pulpit in Battell chapel yes
terday morning. DR.. Gordon is an elo-
quent speaker and his sermon yesterday
morning was a very powerful one, par
ticularly to the benefit of young men,
His text was taken from Act 20, part
of the tenth verse: "And l said, what
shall 1 do. Lord"
1.-THE question:" DR.. Gordon said
twas asked by Paul of the Lord, who
not only at the beginning of his life,
but all through it. was in a certain
state if perplexity; state of wonder
ment concerning the greater life, yet
. Paul seemed beyond all his perplexi-
ty to have one certain aim in life, to
have one goal far off, which, like a
great mountain peak he could see
through the dim distance.
HE aimed at this goal, and every
thing done brought him one step nearer
it,"
DR.. Gordon then went on to show
the life of a young man should be SINH
lar to the life of Paul, how his every
movement and step should be toward a
there will be great. divine perplexity.
The preacher said that youth was the
period when life was thrown on it's own
resources, and when the perpleXities be-
gin to arise. LAS one draws near the
end of his college course he is confront
ed with many questions as to what oc-
cupation he will follow and for what
goal to aim. A young man is very apt
to ask the question, What shall I do
Lord?' This question is not only
Paul's, but every mans, and if it is
weighed we can get clearer concep-
tion with regard to the future"
The preacher compared the road Of
life to that of a train He said: IF
our life was an express train and we
could get aboard at the moment of our
ideal and ride without stopping to di-
vine realization how different it would
be from the present way. We are trav
cling, all OF us. in an accommodation
train and a train that stops at all sta
lions, going past none without giving
the passengers an opportunity to get
off.
1.-The start is the man, the bread
winner, and the first station is home.
This station is full of love and fellow
ship and it is not to be wondered at
that a large crowd stops there and never
again get on. Then there is the social
station which interests all some time in
life This Is bound to be recognized by
all as it is essential in the make up of
man. Too many people get off at this
station and never get on the train
again. There is the station of art and
science where many often get Off and
time is spent and they remain there.
There is also the great depot of pleas
IRE and those who get off there never
think OF anything else
DR.. Gordon spoke Of the great good
which will come Of concentration and
association and spoke of the result of
the great trusts as examples of associa-
ton. He said everything great was
done by concentration in college as well
az in the outer world.

II. l.. Hotchkiss The windows were
MADE by John La Fargo, whose memo
rial windows are classed as among the
most beautiful in the world, and who
personally gives his attention to all that
he designs. The chief feature of this
work outside the exquisite colorings is
the religious feeling which his figures
express. He is also accounted one of
the most talented painters of religious
subjects of the present day.
The lower window presents the figure
or Christ at the last supper and por-
trays a face divine with the simple in
scription Peace leave with you, and
my peace | give unto you"
three angels compose the upper

The Hotchkiss memorial window is the
gift of Henry l.. Hotchkiss and his two
sisters, Mrs. Charles H. Townshend and
Miss Hotchkiss. The lower window is
the gift of Mrs. Henry L. Hotchkiss. A
very beautiful allusion to the new win
dows was made at the morning service
at Center church yesterday by the pas
tor, Rev DR.. Smyth.
There are now five very fine memorial
windows at the Center church all erect
ed in the past few years. They are
the central window over the pulpit
erected by r. Hayes Trowbridge to the
memory of his father, Ezekiel H. Trow-
bridge the window to the memory of
the late Governor Luzon B. Morris, the
window erected by Justus S. Hotchkiss
to the memory of his father, and the
two above spoken of, all of which great
ly beautify the church and comment

some who were among New Haven's
foremost men.
