chester Orthodox 
church was well filled last night at 
The large auditorium of the Man- 
Congregational 
the installation services of Rev. 
Charles A. Hatch as minister of that 
church and society. The services 
were very impressive, the whole rep- 
resenting the formal welcome of Mr. 
Hatch to the Manchester church and 
to the Salem district ministerial 
union. Representatives of other 
churches were noted in the assem- 
bly. 
Rev. Mr, Quint, who preached the 
installation sermon, is a son-in-law 
of Deacon Edward A. Lane of the 
Manchester church. 
The full choir under G, B. Sargent 
furnished music, Mr. Sargent sing- 
ing a solo, “If With All Your 
Hearts,” from the opera “Elijah.” 
The services opened with the organ 
prelude by Miss Jessie Hoare, fol- 
lowed by the reading of the min- 
utes of the council by the scribe, 
OO 
Rev. F. M. Cutler of Wenham. The 
choir rendered the anthem, “Break 
Forth Into Joy,” followed by the in- 
vocation, by Rev. William F. War- 
ren. Rev. Don Ivan Patch of North 
Beverly read the Scripture. The 
prayer of installation was made by 
Rey. Charles H. Williams of Trinity 
church, Gloucester, who was the pre- 
siding officer, 
Rey. John Quint, D. D., of Chelsea 
preached the installation sermon. He 
took his text from Luke, 10:24, “But 
one thing is needful.” “There is a 
great deal of talk about the various 
wants of society,’ said Dr. Quint, 
“our needs in politics, those of science 
and everything that the human race 
needs. A unity of action is what we 
need in politics. In our social life 
we want more of the spirit of the 
Master in its simplicity and its sin- 
cerity. I bring you no narrow gos- 
pel. 
the biggest that the Christian heart 
needs in the spiritual life. 
‘We have been seeking religion in 
various ways. When education be- 
came general, we felt that the race 
would redeemed by universal educa- 
tion. People thought that the public 
school would relieve the mal-prob- 
lems of the day. There is something 
lacking in the theory of universal ed- 
ucation being a panacea for all ills.

REV. 
ticipation has not been realized and 
it is a disappointment. Some of us 
now think that the redemption of all 
earthly wrong-doings is to come 
through the overturning of our econ- 
omic policies. Some of us see this 
solution in Socialism, whose slogan 
is ‘equality of the masses.’ Still, 1f 
everyone was living in an age of com- 
plete equality, there would still be 
discontent. 
“The common man has a _ better 
chance than ever before to realize his 
ambitions. Yet we see right before 
us dissatisfaction. Unrest seems fo 
be inevitable, and it was never as 
widespread as at present. The more 
comforts man obtains, the more dis- 
content it seems to bring. We want 
more of the fruits of science and 
better economic conditions, but if 
that is all we do, the discontent will 
continue. It may be the insatiate de- 
sire of the poor man for the weal- 
thier man’s riches which breeds this 
discontent, but I believe it is the hun- 
ger for God. 
“Ask a man what his first look-out 
is and he will tell you it is to get a 
living for himself and those depen- 
dent upon him. Yet Christ said, 
‘First seek the Kingdom of God.’ If 
we apply this to individuals, this may 
be true in a sense; we all have our 
9 
responsibilities and we would not be 
good men and women if we avoided 
them, but let us do more than obtain 
a living, We can with proper effort 
live in the realm of the high spiritual 
world—that is what we really crave, 
though we sometimes do not know it. 
“Christ was not an educator or re- 
former in the sense in which we use 
the word. His work with other men 
was one of love and loyalty, to make 
the individual realize his respon- 
sibility to other men. ‘This cails us 
back from all programs and panaceas 
for the reform of the world to the 
one thing needful to you and me, 
the mind and spirit of Jesus. It will 
stimulate our life and civilization. 
There are two truths which we 
should emphasize for mutual benefit ; 
first, the need of Jesus; second, His 
sufficiency.” 
Rev. Walter S. Eaton, Ph. D., of 
Magnolia, extended the right hand 
of fellowship to the newly-installed 
pastor, lending words of encourage- 
ment and welcome to Rev, Mr. Hatch 
in his duties in Manchester. He 
said in part: “Your task is not a diffi- 
cult one. ‘The presence of this large 
congregation and your brother min- 
isters implies a confidence in your 
integrity of character and in your 
ability*to carry out the work of your 
pastorate. Your welcome here is in- 
dicative of strong friendship. En- 
emies do not shake hands. Some 
persons will shake hands with any- 
one, for as they say, afterwards 
they ‘may be able to use them at 
some time or other.’ But we are 
different. Our pledge indicates con- 
fidence, fellowship and community of 
interests.” 
Rev, DeWitt S, Clark, D. D., of 
Salem, in his charge to the pastor, 
expressed the hope that the relations 
between the new pastor and congre- 
gation would be fully as amicable and 
satisfactory as he was sure they 
would be. He extended the welcome 
cf the churches in the Salem minis- 
terial district. 
Rey. Daniel E. Burtner, D. D., of 
Lynn, in the charge to the people, 
spoke of the consideration which the 
congregation in its entirety should 
hold towards its pastor. He urged 
that any measure of criticism, 
whether adverse or otherwise, be 
overlooked. “The best of men are 
not perfect,” he said, ‘‘In all the 
hurly-burly of the present day there 
is too much trotting around. The 
pastor should be given ample time to 
consider his duties towards his peo- 
ple; he should be given an opportun- 
ity to study and to make himself a 
developing power in the community,
