A " (OOLIDGE HELPED | - BYFATHINHEAVEN Believes Young Are There as Well as Old, Dr. Pierce , Says in Sermon. By the Assoclated Press, NEW YORK, July 14.—His concep- tion of a hereafter as an abode of the vital and vigorous, of the young as well as the old, sustained President Coolidge when -Calvin, his son, lay dying, according to the Rev. Dr. Ja- son Noble Pierce, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Washing- ton, D. C, who spoke at.the Marble Collegiate Church here yesterday on the President's hour of sorrow and How he passed through it. “1 told the President,” Dr. Pierce said, “that in this sickness God was the consulting doctor trying vainly to tell his colleagues here below how to save this life, because they were not yet able perfectly to understand God's laws. The diseases which are fatal today are healed tomorrow.” The President made his reply, ac- cording to the preacher: Expects Youth in Heaven. “That may all be well, but what would Heaven be like if it were made up only of old men and women.” “Eleven months ago, Dr. Plerce continued, “when our country experi- enced in sorrow the loss of President Harding, and in those midnight hours when the Vice President, took the oath of office administered by his father in that little country home by the light of an oil lamp, before ever photographers and reporters reached him to strip away the. privacies of home life, our President went in the carly light to kneel beside his mother's grave where she lies buried. _“It_was a locket containing her picture and a tuft of her hair that the President placed in Calvin's hand as he lay dying. It was beside her grave in Plymouth that his remains were placed as an example of family affection and divine love. No eleva- tion to office and no devotion to duty had succeeded in breaking that strong bond that bound the immediate family together.” Boys' Last Moments. Dr. - Pierce, describing the . last moments of Calvin, sald that the boy had in, his delirium fancied himself leading a charge of troops. Then |J suddenly he had changed and eried: “We surrender.” “Tell them we surrender,” he had cried to the nurse, and was ot quiet- ed until she had said she had told them. Dr. Boone then spoke up and said: *“No, Calvin, never surrender.” And Calvin. repeated, according to Dr. Pierce, “We surrender.” “The flesh had surrendered, but not the spirit,” said Dr- Pierce: “Calyin’s life was irrestibly attrac- tive. NOr was it a weak life. It was soldierly and strong.” _ MADE ‘HUMAN TORCH’ OF HIM, VICTIM SAYS Georgia Man’s Death-Bed State- ~ment Charges He Was Sprayed » With Inflammable Liquid.
