"The Shadow on the Dial: Intimations of 

 the Great Survival" (Abingdon Press; $1 net), 

 by Orton H. Carmichael, mixes in nearly equal 

 proportions delicate delineation of the moods 

 and aspects of nature with sincere and at 

 times not unimpressive musings on immortal- 

 ity. Much of this book consists of entries 

 from the journal of a young physician, a 

 Dr. Colvin, whose earnest meditations on the 

 ultimate questions are not a little solemnizing 

 and thought-provoking. The net result, as 

 one might expect, is not very substantial, even 

 though it is triumphantly suggested, if not 

 demonstrated, that all's right with the world. 

 The book would be robbed of much of its 

 interest if it lacked the illustrations that 

 abound in it, and the gracious nature-writing 

 represented well enough by the following pas- 

 sage: 



It was a glorious May-day, with the or- 

 chards in bloom and the foliage of the woods 

 and the wayside trees reaching the fresh 

 perfection of its form and color. The birds 

 were happy in the full flush of their annual 

 romances, for to them the joy of first love 

 returns each year as the dandelions return to 

 the meadows. The morning air was warm 

 and breathless, the smoke of a burning stump 

 by the way ascending in a quavering perpen- 

 dicular column as does the smoke in Marson's 

 picture, "Rest in Egypt," where the artist has 

 suggested the desert's perfect calm. The clear 

 azure of the sky was unflecked save by two 

 hawks which swept round and round in slow 

 and graceful circles as if they were designing 

 rival plans for some mighty chandelier to be 

 suspended in the blue dome of day.

DEATH OF SANFORD HTI! 



One of Pounders of Disciples 

 Church Dies in Pasadena, Cal.— 

 Pormer Sailor Before the Mast 



Sanford M. Hunt, 82, one of the 

 founders of the church of Christ (Dis- 

 ciples) in this city and establisher of 

 S. M. Hunt & Co, paper stock dealers, 

 died Thursday morning at Pasadena, 

 Cal. Mr Hunt had led an unusually 

 active life from the time when he 

 shipped out of Boston before the mast, 

 when he was 15 years old. He sailed 

 around the world several times before 

 leaving the sea to become a pioneer 

 in the paper stock business. He had 

 been spending his winters in Pasadena, 

 for several years, and at his request 

 will be buried there. 

 Mr Hunt was born in Lubec, Me., 



September 30, 1834. He was th 



of Sanford M. and Sarah Fuller Hunt. 

 He went with his parents to Boston 

 when he was 10 years old, and there 

 became fascinated with the life of the 

 sea. He spent eight years as a sailor, 

 rounding Cape Horn seven times, and 

 circumnavigating the earth about 

 three times. He became first mate of 

 the ship Fleetwood in 1858, and left 

 the sea in the same year. 



Mr Hunt began the paper stock 

 business in Chicago, 111. In 1850 he 

 married Miss Delia Hamilton in Chi-

 if the first paper stock, businesses. 

 The company was later incorporated 

 as S. M. Hunt & Co, and is now con- 

 ducted by Mr Hunt's sons at 25 Har- 

 ison avenue. 

 In 1895 Mr Hunt, with Dr Horace 

 Detchon, organized the society of th 

 church of Christ (Disciples). Soon 

 afterward he bought the church at 769 

 Main street, now occupied by the 

 church of the Seventh-day Advent ists 

 He owned this building until his drain, 

 although the church of Christ moved 

 in 1909 to its present location on Dick- 

 inson street. Two years ago Mr 

 Hunt went to Pasadena. He returned 

 to Springfield last summer, but went 

 back to Pasadena to spend the win- 

 ter. His brother, Albert B. Hunt, his 

 daughter, Miss S. Emily Hunt of this 

 city, and his sister, Miss Sarah F 

 Hunt of this city, were with him there 

 when he died. He also leaves one son 

 by his first wife, Willard H. Hunt of 

 Philadelphia, Pa.; two sons by his 

 second wife, Charles P. and Edward 

 H. Hunt of this city, and three daugh- 

 ters. Mrs Delia Hamilton Mohorter 

 of St Louis, Mo., Mrs Milton Murray 

 of Mittineague and Mrs William A. 

 Hebert of Kingston, Pa., and a. broth-
