An incident at the Bowdoin College COM
mencement last week is thus reported by the
henne6ec Journal:
Tho feature Of the forenoon was the procession
OF alumni from tho chapel to the church where the
exercises were held. 1t was q remarkable sight to
see among those marching Town the sh AIDED campus
paths the Hon. JAMES W BRADBURY, tho classmate of
LoNGFELIOw, HAWTHORNE, ABBOTT, CHEKvER and
CELLEY. bearing lightly the burden Of his ninety
seven years"
Mr. BRADBURY's age is recorded as ninety
four, not ninety-seven. He Is the only sur
vivor OF the class OF 1925. a class that in
cluded an unusual number OF men who after
ward achieved regulations. Mr. BRADBURY
himself sat in the Senate OF the United States
moro than fifty years ago. where he was the
contemporary of THOMAS II. BENTON. JOHN C.
CALHOUN. HENRY CLAY SAMUEL Houston and
DANIEL WEBSTER. The span OF his active ex-
perience almost staggers the Imagination. 1t
Is more than sixty years. for example. since
his college classmate and friend. JONATHAN
C1LLEY. after living long enough to attain
high political distinction. was shot by GRAVES
OF Kentucky in the celebrated duel at Bla-
densburg His classmate NATHANIEL HAw-
THoRNE was sixty years old when he died,
and yet HAWTHORNE has been In his grave
moro than a third OF a century. Mr.. BRADBURY
returns to his college this year as usual active
In mind and body. and leads the procession
along the paths which he first walked as a
graduate sevcnty-four years ago.

The Pastor and the Religious Editor.

The Rev. DR.. CHAMBERS repeated on Sun
day the explanation Of the reason for his
resigning from the Calvary Presbyterian
Church in 116th street. the truth Of which
was denied by the Rev. DR.. SToDpARD, the
editor Of the Presbyterian Ne,o York Oh
server. 1t is that the church was mis-
placed" having been erected in a district
where Jews predominant.
Recently we referred to DR.. CHAMBERs's
quotation OF the remark Of Jewish rabbi
to this effect and our article was denounced
by DR.. SToDDARD as sensational" and
most OF it not true" He declared that
the true reason Of the failure Of the pastor
alto OF DR.. CHAMBERS was fault in himself
and not in his circumstances, as he alleged
On Sunday, however, DR.. CHAMBERS went
further by quoting the exceedingly signif-
cant remark OF another rabbi that "if he
had the money he could buy fifteen or
twenty churches between 10th and 125th
streets" The President Of the trustees OF
Calvary Church. too, gives the information
that 1--WE have had several offers for the
church building from representatives Of
Jewish congregations"
DR.. SToDDARD also accused us Of ma
liciously exaggerating tho evil influence Of
the Briggs controversy on the Presbyterian
Church in New York. What did DR.. CHAM
BEERS say about the matter last Sunday
" am persuaded" he said, that much Of
the unfortunate condition OF Presbyterian
ism in this city Is due to disposition on
the part Of many Of the household to toler-
ate an attitude toward the Bible which is
neither Presbyterian nor yet evangelical"
