The Right Reverend John Williams, D.D. LL.D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Connecticut and senior member of the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church in America, died at his home in Middletown, Conn., Monday night, Feb. 7. He had been gradually failing physically for two years or more, and for the greater part of that time had been confined to his house. A slight attack of grip which began two weeks ago was sufficient, in his enfeebled con- dition, to hasten the end.. Bishop Williams was born at Deer- field, Mass., August 30, 1817. He pre- pared for College at Deerfield and Northfield, and entered Harvard in 1831, being at that time but I4 years old. At the end of his Sophomore year he decided that he would become a churchman and leaving Harvard entered Trinity (then Washington) College in Hartford, where he graduated at the age of eighteen. ogy at the General Theological Semi- nary in New York and with the Rev. Dr. Jarvis, he was ordained to the diaconate in 1838. Returning from a year’s travel abroad he was ordained to the priest- hood by Bishop Brownell and took the position of assistant minister of Christ Church, Middletown, in 1841. Later he was called to St. George’s Church in Schenectady, N. Y., where he re- mained six years. In 1848, when but 31 years old, he was chosen President of Trinity College to succeed Rev. Dr. Silas Totten. He retired from the presidency in 1853 and on the moving of the Berkeley Divinity School to Middletown, Conn., became its Dean and: principal instructor in Doctrinal Theology, History of the Reformation and in the Prayer Book. He was made full Bishop in 1865. —_—_—_+4—___— Apollo Banjo Club. The following men will constitute the Apollo Banjo Club for the coming year: : Banjeaurines—B. W. Yung, 1902; L. K. Butler, 1901; W.

In fact Life Insurance is recognized by Political Econo- mists as a tremendous force in the production of wealth. Prof. Richard T. Ely in a recent speech is reported as saying that “One-half of the money paid for Life Insurance would be spent unproductively were it not for Life _ Insurance.”’ The premiums paid for Life Insurance come mostly from salary earners in all departments of Life, from men who are thereby enabled to save each year a portion of their income. | Every man should be a member of this body of thrifty money savers.
