PASSION FOR LIFE. 
This is Man’s Primary Passion, says 'C. Arthur 
Lincoln, But Life is Eternal, he Declares. 
There is no end. 
“And whosoever and believeth 
Jonn, 11226: 
liveth 
in me shall never die.”’ 
This was the text of a very in- 
teresting Easter sermon at the Con- 
gregational church in Manchester, 
last Sunday morning, when C. Ar- 
thur Lincoln preached his first ser- 
mon as pastor-elect of the church. 
Mr. Lincoln is a forcible speaker. 
He has a deep, resounding voice, 
and his sermons show thorough 
study and preparation of his sub- 
jects. 
“Life” was the theme of his ser- 
mon, and he endeavored to argue 
that there is no life unless it be 
fellowship with God, and that 
death is simply a separation of that 
fellowship. He said in part: 
“Man’s primary passion is the 
passion for life. Though the wisest 
man may not know what it is, it 
iS aS apparent in the new born babe 
as in man. We see this will to live 
in all forms of life; and this which 
is in animal a will becomes in man

in the presence of death he feels 
most humble.- 
“This same feeling came into the 
life of Mary and Martha when Laz- 
arus had died. Martha knew of the 
miraculous power of this friend to 
heal even after death, but He had 
not been present. ‘If Thou hadst 
been here, my brother should not 
have died, she said. 
“To Him life meant the actual 
fact of fellowship with God; death 
meant the breaking of that fellow- 
ship. For you and me it means a 
span of a few years, packed full of 
plans and purposes and a few 
worthy deeds,—after that, death,— 
the end. But the Lord Jesus 
Christ never could see the end of 
His career. 
“A real life has no. end. ~ But 
ceath! Is there such a thing? He 
who is separated from God is a dead 
man—a walking corpse. Are you 
conscious of any inability to com- 
mune with God? Then the stone 
is adready rolled up against the 
door of your sepulchre and you 
are within.

For many years this was one of the old landmarks of the town. 
HISTORIC FOSTER’S MILL AT MANCHESTER, 
It was here the old settlers and, in fact, many of the present old residents, 
carried their grain to be ground. Last year, after being in a dilapidated condition for several years, it was torn down and an 
imposing sea wall of granite graces the site.
