Mac Lane, of the Taftville Congregational church voted to recommend that the pastoral relation be dissolved and that committee be appointed to draft suit able resolutions in appreciation of Dr. MacLane's labors. The resolutions adopted were in part as follows:
 However one may view it, whatever may be the modern estimate of the Christian ministry a passionate of 27 years in a single church in 8 growing city is no small achievement. We con gratulate Dr. MacIIane upon the abil- ity the staying power and the health which have made this record possible; we congratulate New Haven upon be- ing the scene and the beneficiary of these long and fruitful labors-
 It is a pleasure to us to bear en- thusiastic testimony to Dr. MacLane's great worth as man and minister. As a minister he has impressed us by the solidity of his attainmentss the breadth Of his vision, and his untiring devotion. At once conservative and progressive. he has chung to all that is rich and comforting in the old and been sympathetic toward all that is

MEMORIAL DAY ORDERS
 HAVE BEEN ISSUED
Flags to Be Half -Masted Till Noon Companies Can Parade Under Arms.

The adjutant general has issued general orders No. 3s. as follows:
 Fifty years ago in April the call came ''to arms Memories of the stirring events that followed that call come thick and fast to the surviving heroes of the war, as they gather to-. gether on Memorial day, and with ap- propriate ceremonies and flowers pay their tribute of respect to the illustri- GUS dead. Patriotism and true love of country have broken down the bar riers of bitterness and woe and but one thought animates and actuates all, that our bright galaxy of states be united forever May succeeding ages maintain the principles fought for, enjoying the blessings accruing therefrom, and transmit them to fu- lure generations improved, unsullied and unimpaired. Memorial day, with it's hallowed memories, is to the or ganized militia an object lesson, and an incentive to the noblest type of loyalty and patriotism
 As a mark of respect it is therefore ordered that the national flag be dis played May 30. 1911. on all state ar- mories and the soldiers home at Nor oton, at half-staff from sunrise until midday; at noon the flag will be hoisted to the top of the staff and re- main there until sunset. Permission is also granted for organizations to parade under arms on that date.

HIS OWN RECORD
 JusTIFiEs HIS ELECTION
Bishop Davies comes from a Family of Distinguished cIersymen and Church Leaders.


 The New Haven Register of May Il. had the following editorial reference to Bishop Davies:
 A clergyman who is yet on the sunny side of his fortieth year, who has not been prominently before the public in any except church ways who would not generally be con- sidered a distinguished man. has been elected bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of western Massa- chusetts The election comes to him as in a sense a heritage. His connec- tions and his interests are with this part of New England. though he was born in Philadelphia. He comes from family containing distinguished clergymen and church leaders. But his own record taken alone, amply justifies his election.
 Yale has an intimate. interest in Rev. Thomas Frederick Davies ,Jr. He was graduated in the class of 1894. and while it may be true, as Professor Phelps has said, that the class of '94 runs the state of Texas, it performs an even more important function in lead : ing the religious and progressive thought of the country at large. Bishop Davies comes to public notice as one of a group of such classmates as Hamilton Holt of The Independent trustee of the Carnegie peace fund and leader in the wor1d-peace movement; Rev. Frederick Lynch of New York, not less distinguished in the same cause and well known for his literary ability; Prof. William B. Bailey. stat istician and census director, and Prof William H. Salmon. mission worker of world-wide fame. To Rev MT Davies Yale gave an MA. degree IA years after his graduation ana mas watched with close interest his career since He comes by merit and fitness to this leading position in the church of his fathers, and New England and the nation are yet to hear more from him as a force in the religious prog ress of f~the age.
