BEVERLY FARMS 
John Woodbury has gone to Wash- 
ington, D.C., where he has accepted 
a position in a large provision store. 
Chester Woodbury _ entertained 
some 20 of his friends at his home 
on Hart street, Monday evening, on 
the occasion of his 17th birthday. 
An elevator is being installed in 
Mrs. H. C. Weston’s cottage and 
other changes are being made by Pub- 
licover Bros. 
The widening of Hart street at the 
Bennett estate is fully under way and 
already sufficient has been accom- 
plished to give the public a good idea 
of the scope of the improvement when 
completed. A retaining face wall 
runs along part the way and quite an 
amount of grading and leveling has 
already been performed. The old 
Bennett homestead was torn down 
this week and the building used as a 
store now rests on its new foundation. 
The ground along the whole length 
has been broken up and the work 
otherwise is making good progress. 
A pleasant feature of Thanksgiving 
day was the Sunlight party in Mar- 
shall’s hall in the afternoon, while in 
the evening a social was held, both 
events being largely attended and 
afforded considerable pleasure. Long’s 
orchestra furnished the music. 
Mr. and Mrs. Eli R. Hodgkins par- 
took of the national bird on Thanks- 
giving day with relatives at Glouces- 
ter, as is their usual custom. 
Mrs. Bangs returned Thursday to 
Mendum, N.J., after several weeks 
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Peter 
Ward on Haskell street. 
. The Mass. highway commissioners 
were at the Farms yesterday and 
made a tour of inspection of the dif- 
ferent sections of the highways con- 
structed last summer. 
Church Notes 
The sermon at the Beverly Farms 
Baptist church will be illustrated by 
the stereopticon tomorrow evening. 
The topic will be ‘‘The Road to 
Loikaw.” The topics for the follow- 
ing Sunday evenings will be: Dec. 
a0,** The Creation; Dec/17, ‘The 
garden of Eden;” Dec. 24, “The 
Noachian Flood ;” Dec. 24, the Christ- 
mas concert, and Dec. 31, ‘“ The Call 
of Abraham.” 
«‘Thanksgiving’’ was the topic of 
the special Thanksgiving service of 
prayer and testimony at the Baptist 
church, which was held Wednesday 
evening instead of Thursday morning, 
as heretofore. 
It is of interest to note that the 
financial report of the Baptist church, 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
~

recently presented, indicates that dur- 
ing the year the church raised for all 
purposesa total of $3,175.57. Of this 
amount $2,123.14 was paid out for the 
current expenses, and $825.00 for the 
parsonage debt. The total expenses 
of the Sunday school was $111.83; 
the total benevolences, $74.53. The 
roll of church members now numbers 
93, a net gain of 10, twelve names 
having been added during the year, 
nine of whom were by baptism, two 
by letter and one by experience. This 
speaks well of the progress being 
made by the young pastor, Rev. Clar- 
ence Strong Pond. 
A Series of Lectures 
Through the efforts of the Young 
Men’s Lyceum committee of the Bev- 
erly Farms Baptist church the people 
of that section will have the opportu- 
nity of listening to two of the most 
eminent speakers of the day, as well 
as hearing some of the best known 
talent hereabouts, during the coming 
winter. Though the exact dates are 
not yet announced, the course is fixed 
upon as follows : 
In December, Rev. Nathan Bailey 
will deliver his lecture on “ Ben Hur,” 
illustrated by the stereopticon. In 
January, on Thursday, the 25th, P. S. 
Henson, DD. LED. ofsthemire 
mont Temple church, Boston, will 
deliver his well-known and_ popular 
lecture on ‘Fools.’ In February, a 
musicale and literary program by out- 
side talent will be presented. The 
February entertainment will be a 
ladies’ night. A special program will 
be prepared for the March meeting, to 
be announced later. Tickets for all 
of the lectures and the entertainments 
are now on sale at the popular price of 
25 cents. No one can afford at so 
reasonable a figure to miss Dr. Hen- 
son’s lecture. Many, no doubt, will 
attend from Manchester.
