 Is sileneed, the community loses some thing not easily replaced The unselheh search for truth for the love of truth is not so inherent In human nature that the occasional investigator of tho Haynes typo can be treated either lightly In an estimate one may feel moved to make, or emotIonally because Of the sense of personal loss, Due re- gard must be had for the spiritual power of the crippled force,
 Mir, Haynes had not been long a res- ,ident of New Haven but he had lived here long enough to impress himself upon the community In an extraordin- ary way. Those who did not come under his ministratione, those who knew him only as he was revealed through the conventional sources of publicity. and even those who thus knowing him at a distance worshipped In another church, or did not worship at all, felt instinctlvely that there stood man, who had convictions and the courage of them, a man who yearn- ed eagerly for the truth that he might enjoy the knowledge of it and inter- pret t for the good of others No one had to give him this character and certificate. No seat of learning had raised him to an honorary state In re- cognltlon of his achievements and long ings, There was no occasion for such conventional and more or less arbl- trary approval There was that about the man that naturally brought him near to the understanding of the peo- ! pie, and unconsciorsly convinced them that he was in the fight of life for their betterment. It was this quality. which was neither learned In the uni- verslty nor acquired in the school of life, but which was part of his very nature, If not his nature itself. which gave him an understanding of the struggles and hopes of the masses of people and them an assurance of his sincerity.
 Because he possessed those quallfica- tlons in high degree of efficiency we again refer to him as a force in the life of New Haven, power which was doing New Haven an immense amount of good at the moment of his tragic death. Reference has been made tt thesfact that he was not in the bes
 of health His was not the tempera
 ment which made excellent health pos
 sble, Had he lived 10 q ripe old ag' he would have been physically an un der-reinforced man. He was mar of deep feelings. Men of deep feelings give up more in the search for knowl
 edge than nature with all of der gen erosity can supply. To Mir. Haynes tho
 struggle of the masses of the peop
 to better themselves was eomethinl
 definite and real, and he shared witt
 them in the distress of failure, am
 literally mourned when through mIs
 taken leadership they were made (
 unduly suffer We have never know
 man more unselHshiy devoted to tn
 welfare of the people, nor one wh
 would have served them more sacrflc
 ingly had it been hie lot to enlis
 among the wage earners in shop, mi
 and factory. Little heed is given to th
 men of Mir Haynes stamp, who ar
 to he found here and there throughout the country In all too small numbers but who represent the leaven whic ripens the lump and hold in check th sordid forces which care nothing fo the rights of man and seek only tn privileges of the dollar.
 , We profess to no understanding c
 the mystery involved in the taking o' , of man who was doing such splen , did work in life beyond the powerfr
 reafirmation 1t gives the fact that " are all subject 10 the laws of life ant
 no one Is immune. We may seek il i, various wave, some magnificent som , less altruistic and some supremely gel
 fish 10 bend those laws to our uses bu 1 the power Is not ours. Nothing inter feres with their sure operation, nc even tte need the children of God hay
 for men of the Haynes type They cal . however, be thankful that for the shoi . while he had his home among them,
