Quarterly Meeting. 
The quarterly conference of the Baptist 
churches of Beverly, Manchester, Beverly 
Farms and Wenham was held at the Beverly 
Farms Baptist church Thursday afternoon 
and evening. The meetings were well at- 
tended. 
The afternoon services consisted of a 
prayer meeting, under the leadership of Rev. 
Clarence Strong Pond of Beverly Farms. 
Mr. Pond took his text from Acts 2, and he 
showed that baptismals and blessings are 
received by continued prayer, supplications 
and patient waiting, and that a social, win- 
ning sermon is made effective by the prayers 
of many persons. 
Remarks were also made by Rev. H. J. 
White of Beverly, Rev. F. Parker of Wen- 
ham, Rev. E.H. Brewster of Manchester, 
Deacons Larcom of Beverly, Willmonton 
and Stone of Manchester and Pride of 
Beverly Farms. 
Supper was served in the reception rooms 
by a committee of ladies of the church be- 
tween the services. The committee con- 
sisted of Mrs. Andrew Standley (chairman), 
Mrs. Elmer Standley, Mrs. Pierce, Miss M. 
Lizzie Hull, Mrs. Edwin Pride, Mrs. Willis 
Pride, Mrs. Hadley, Mrs. C. F. Preston, 
Mrs. Collomore, Mrs. Hardy, Miss Ethel 
Davis, Miss Woodbury and Messrs. Brown, 
Davis, Doane and Day. 
In the evening an elaborate program was 
carried out. Rev. C. S. Pond presided and 
addresses were made by Rev. Herbert J. 
White of Beverly and Rev. Dr. Frank L. 
Wilkins of Glouceseer. Special musical 
numbers were rendered by the choir and by 
members of the church. 
Election at the Farms. 
The city election at Beverly Farms, 
Tuesday, went off very smoothly, 
there not being the least ripple of ex- 
citement. In the first place, there 
was no competition for the offices to 
be filled from Ward 6, and as regards 
the fight for Mayor, the Beverly 
Farms voters gave Wallis strong en- 
dorsement throughout the campaign, 
so that the result was never in doubt. 
The polls opened at 6 o’clock and 
closed at 4 in the afternoon. There 
were 253 votes cast against 276 for 
the presidential and state election. 
Several of the summer residents came 
down to vote. Three women voters 
cast their ballots for school committee. 
Wallis received 176 votes to Ham- 
ilton’s 72, while the license vote stood 
about as it did last year —133 to 79 
against. The ballots were counted 
long before 5 o’clock. 
In Mrs. Whitman’s Memory. 
In speaking of the Friends’ Bible 
class of Beverly Farms in, our last 
issue, we would make our readers im- 
ply that the recent gift of a check for 
$100 from Mrs. H. C. Weston was to 
commemorate her birthday. What we 
intended to have said was that the gift 
was sent in memory of the birthday of 
the late much-beloved Mrs. Henry 
Whitnian. 
Miss Mary Haven and family closed 
their Beverly Farms house Thursday 
and returned to Boston. 
Beverly Farms folk are much inter- 
ested in ice-boating at Chebacco, sev-
