Mr. Ashley spoke of the appropri- 
ateness of such a gathering and spirit 
with which it should be held. 
“T consider it a great honor to 
speak here,’’ said he. ‘‘ The oftener 
we meet on occasions like this, the 
more we enter into the spirit of the 
occasion. Old age is the richest part 
of life, — not only for the individual 
himself, but for his influence on his 
fellow men. The richest time of the 
year is the harvest time; and the rich-

est time in our lives is when knowl- 
edge is becoming wisdom.” 
Rev G. E. Freeman, “a pastor of 
former years,’’ spoke of the great 
change that had taken place in Man- 
chester since he was pastor there. 
“Friends, things have changed won- 
dertully since I first came here,” he 
said ‘I always rejoice to learn that 
Manchester is not only holding its 
own, but that it is advancing. ‘Lhere 
is no degeneracy among our people — 
our nation; itis always progress and 
advance. I have been in many fields 
since leaving here, but I always look 
back at Manchester as my home. My 
desire is that you shall go on in the 
progress you now display.” 
Hon. Robert S. Rantoul of Salem 
referred to the purpose of such a gath- 
ering and spoke of the uniqueness of 
its object—that of being “brought 
together by an absolutely pure desire 
for good fellowship.”’ He told of a 
mass meeting that was held on Smith’s 
Point, across from the picnic grounds, 
when he was a young man; the pur- 
pose of which was to create some en- 
thusiasm for election of Gen. Fremont 
to the president’s chair. 
Rev. John M. Marsters of Cam- 
bridge, ‘“‘one of the manner born,” 
was full of wit in his remarks, one of 
his stories on the old fashioned reli- 
gion being particularly interesting. 
He was followed by Dr. Alexander 
Blackburn of Salem, who said that he 
was a recent neighbor of George L. 
Story in Portland, Ore., who had told 
him of these gatherings and of Man- 
chester. He said he never saw a 
clam till he was forty years old, 
and his experience with this Elder 
Brethren picnic told him what he had 
missed. He spoke at length of 
“Yankee progress,’ as compared 
with the spirit and thrift of the South- 
erner. 
“The. Yankee has pushed himself 
all over the country,” said he, ‘ their 
thrift and push being everywhere ev+ 
dent. Powerful and destructive as 
the Kansas cyclones are, there is one 
thing they can’t blow off, and that is 
a Yankee mortgage on a farm in 
Kansas.”’ 
N. S. Heron, oldest truant officer 
in the state, was the last speaker. 
Previous to the business meeting, 
a telegram from George L. Story of 
Portland, Ore., expressing regrets at 
not being able to be present was read, 
and H. C. Leach read a personal 
letter from Mr. Story in which he
