Daniel Webster's career from the era
die to the grave. from the time he lin
gered about his mothers apron strings in
New England until he was ushered be-
fore the throne of grace was portrayed
last night before the Washington Con-
gregational Club by Rev. DIR. Macy Nc
Gee Waters, pastor of the Tompkins Ave-
nue. Congregational Church of Brooklyn,
at the annual dinner celebrating Fore
fathers day, held in the First Congre-
gational Church. this city.
Dr. Waters told of Websters experience
as a school teacher. and declared Incl
dentally that teachers are the poorest
paid folk on earth for the work they
perform. Those same old maids" he
said, referring to school teachers, will
have no trouble in getting into the king
dom of heaven He spoke eloquently
of Webster's services in the halls of
Congress after his training at Dartmouth
College, and called attention to his splen-
did oratory when he answered the states
ator from South Carolina; the occasion
when he made his dramatic appeal for
the Union. in which. it was said. he
pulled the string connecting every pa
triotlc grave with each patriotic heart.
Webster's Last Words.
Near the close of his address the cler-
gyman told of the scene at Webster's
deathbed when he described the states

quoted his last words: 1.-THE Union still
lives

claimed: God accept him, Christ receive
him.
