When he stands on a platform, his body tense, dynamic, his wavy hair brushed back, his heavy-lidded eyes gleaming, then his audience, whether it be Baptist, Presbyterian or lay, knows well that here is a leader that knows his business, his mind.

In his thin, ascetic features, in his calm eyes, about which tiny wrinkles have come, in his masterful grey mustache and his silky grey hair, in these they will not see the boy of 16 who on the death of his seafaring father went into a New Haven, Conn., wire mill as a common laborer.
