MIR. and Mrs. John G. Lewis.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
One of the delights in growing old is to
watch the development and perfecting,
not only of the characters, but of the
lfe-w ork' and influence Of ones early
! friends.
Only rarely--once or twice in life
time--is it given one to see so wildly
| illustrated, not only what man has
aimed to be and to do, but what he has
won as the result of that being and do
ing, as was the case on Wednesday
evening at the Webster school reunion
at new Music Hail.
As one familiar with Mr.. Lewis work
in his early days at Webster, and priv
LEGGED to rank among his personal
friends in all the later years, few felt
more strongly the justice and value Of
the ovation rendered him than I-none
could more heartily congratulate him on
the rich harvest of love and gratitude
his faithful sowing has yielded; and
yet, in common with many others l
felt that there was one silent chord In
the otherwise perfect harmony of the
evenings melody.
l think am right in saying that eve
ry woman in the audience felt as | did,
that, true as every eulogistic and CRATE
full word spoken of or to Mr.. Lewis was,
much of the secret Of his power and sue
cess escaped acknowledgment in words.
Mr. Lewis has always been strong
man in every sense of the word; brave
man; true man. a successful man.
Always from his first day in New Ha-
ven, a growing man. Why? Partly
because he was John G. Lewis; greatly
I may say, because added to John G.
Lewis in his early manhood was the
friend and wife, who walking beside
him with equal step, helpful hands, I'M
failing heart and immortal faith, has
fully shared his every burden and
helped inspire his every service.
Mrs Lewis must pardon those who
know her as She Is, and therefore love
her, If their hearts turn to her as CRATE
fully as to Mr.. Lewis in those hours
when the fruits of his labors are being
weighed and measured and not found
wanting 81 q Ar
1t is impossiblesto fully voice the sem
tments of those who but know the
charm of the home life of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis. It Is too sacred to do more than
glance at it. And yet surely one may
say that our friend Mr.. Lewis has so
successfully served his day and genera
ton because one has walked beside him
all the years, who was made of God to
him minister of love, of courage and
of ever deepening inspiration.
Remarkable as has been his work as
an educator, his power as personal
friend to his pupils and associate teach
ers has been greater; and in their lives
all who have felt his power have also
realized their abiding Indebtedness to
Mr.. Lewis, and this | have felt | must
try to express, II in most imperfect
way.
] know T only voice the strong feeling
of all the women who know the helpful
charm of Mrs. Lewis quiet but NEST
beautiful home life.
