One hundred and fifty years ago voting Robert Newman, sexton of this 3hrist church which now is known to ?very American schoolboy as "the )ld North church," hung out the lan- :erns as a signal to Paul Revere, the jilversanith- who was 'waiting ,on the L'harlestown shore, that the British .roops were starting by water to destroy ..the precious munitions of war •vhich' the "patriot.jwl.onjsfs had assembled at Concord. .. , > And that is the event <h.ey commemjrated with song and prayer and with speeches by Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer of Boston, great-granddaughter of Paul Revere, and by Vice President Dawes, ireat - great - grandson of William Dawes, who rode on the night of April IS, 1775, by another route in case Revere wa,s captured or killed by the British soldiers- on his route. And after the songs and prayers ?ame the most touching and thrilling moment of all, and that was when voung Paul Revere of Boston, great- ;reat-grandsOn of Paul the silversmith, reverently fifted the lighted anterns and bore them aloft to the Delfry arch. Trumpet music rang out from the ?hoir loft of the church as young Taul Revere bore the lanterns from their place in front of the altar, and the jrgan thundered, and all the people in the quaint high-backed pews rose alid sank with one voice "America," a sjmg which, the rector had gently pointed sut to them, was written by the good Doctor Smith," who once lived hard by the church. When, half aiTentury ago, they observed the one hundredth anniversary of the Revere-Dawes rides at Christ church, Doctor Smith was present and read an anniversary poem. While the labterns glfmmered before the altar General Dawes mounted the pulpit stairs and took, his place beneath the wide sending board and made ah Impassioned plea for development of the national character--the safeguarding of what was good and right in it; the stripping away of what wa£ false and shallow. "'Those lanterns," the vice president said, "which they hung out 150 years ago were beacon lights to a people To us they still are beacon lights, and with them shines the beacon light of the old New England character. We can profitably take example from it, the more so as we are still a young people and our character as a people still is forming."

Restflctlon of immigrntioft is nothing less than a revolutiona change from the older days, when boasted that this country offered re uge and opportunity, liberty and curlty, to all who desired them. "The policy of restriction seemeijt necessary, in view of the certainty thaf unprecedented numbers would flow ti us from Europe following the war; more than we could be sure of assimilating, more than the European countries could well spare. Hnd there been no limitations, the number of newcomers among us i». the last four years would probablj have been several mflllon greater, we had been called upon to receiv and place such a number it may we be doubted whether they would ha\ found their condition, here much belis ter than it was in Europe. Certainly^ our problem of helping adjust them t»* the new conditions and the hard coiik petition of such a situation, wouldP have been far more difficult. . "Competent official authorities have estimated that 2,000,000 would have come in each of these four years, or, • over three times as many as did actually come. We ma^hvell doubt whether that wjuld have been to the a#«^ vantage of either them or the cou®»v •' try."
