RBut of that life this brief record tells us nothing; it does not touch the hem of the garment of his personality. If we multiplied the data and listed his varied activities we are not let into the secret of this sturdy life that has left its impress so ineffaceably and beneficiently upon this community of his birth, upon his alma mater and upon this commonwealth. xxx The all-containing and all-including qual- ity which drew other lives to this great heart was character which”had its source and its deepest root uin God. xxx From childhood he *‘stood four-square to every wind that blows,” adopting as his the maxim that ques- tions of right and wrong have neither time, nor place, nor expediency. His life was simple, sincere and beautiful —indeed life to him was one great unity. He held that the service of God meant the service of man. In the ordinary business life he found a higher business; to honesty and in- tegrity he added, disinterestedness and public spirit; he freely gave his thought and his time and his money | to great causes; he devoted himself to this communi He was eminent-| ly social; he was absolutely truthful; 1 he was by temperament as well as by circumstances one of the happiest of men. “Verily, Willlam Henry Hall was a good son, a good husband and father,| a good friend and a good citizen. We shall think of him in the presence of God; we meditate upon the infinite possibility of that fuller life, and are silent.” | FURTHER CONTINUANCE Counsel For Niccola Sacco And Bar- tolomeo Vanzetti Obtain Another | Court Concession. | Boston, Feb. 20.—A further exten- sion of time until February 25 for completing the bill of exceptions tak- en by counsel for Niccola Sacco and Dartolomeo Vanzetti, convicted of murder in the first degree has been obtained, it was said at the offices by | defense counsel here today.
