PERSONALITY OF THE MAN.
In the prime Of life with the sparkle of energy
IN his eye and the of power in his voice.
DR.. Dewey presented a striking contrast to the
venerable who sat by his side. DIR. Storrs'
through failing health, has lost much Of his Vigor
He said. In excusing himself after the service: /
do act now Of volition but am under
the orders of others" In his prayer DR.. Storrs
asked that DR.. Dewey might be abundantly blessed
We hope that Thou wilt incline his heart to come
to us prayed DR.. Storrs.
Expressions of qualification heard on every
hand after the service the young people being par
ticuiarly enthusiastic. For ten fifteen minutes
DR.. and Mrs Dewey held a little reception and
were presented 10 the members of the congregation
by Mr.. Shockwel.
Dr. Dewey is an impressive and interesting speak
er. Yesterday, following the custom of Dr. Storrs,
he wore black gown. which. he is rather tall,
gave him a commanding presence. His pictures 40
not do him Justice, they fail to show the char-
acter expressed In the eye and the movement OF
the facial muscles. His voice is pleasing and Is
used witt a being
from high a lower pitch. Gestures are almost
constantly used of the most striking being an
outstretchng of the arms, which yesterday dis
played the fulness of the flowing sleeves Of the
clerical gown Illustrations and anecdotes were
frequent in the sermon yesterday and were we'll
chosen and effectively related.
THE MORNING SERMON
For his morning sermon DR.. Dewey took his text
from Peter iii, 4: But let 1t be the hidden man
of the heart" He said in part
1t is impossible for US to give complete descrp,
life, but it is only the surface Of him that we can

Speaking of character DR.. Dewey said:
! Character Is being what man or woman really

How true 1t that get what we give in this
life. that reap what we SOW, that the dimen-

dimensions of the inner.
Finally let us remember that 1t is in this inner
man that find the chief motive power OF right
