“THE OPEN WINDOW”’ 
Subject of Talk by Rev. Mr. Palmer 
of Salem Before Manchester 
Brotherhood. 
Rey. Joseph B. Palmer of the Cal- 
yary Baptist church of Salem was 
the speaker Monday evening be- 
fore the Manchester Brotherhood in 
the vestry of the Baptist church. 
Daniel and his courage served as 
the subject of his talk and as his 
text he used the term, ‘‘The open 
window,”’ referring to the open win- 
dow toward Jerusalem, where Daniel 
prayed in spite of the edicts of the 
king that the people should worship 
no one but him. 
“Tow much better it would be 
for our young people did they sing 
the hymn of our boyhood days, 
‘Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand 
alone,’ instead of the songs we are 
more apt to hear today, such as ‘At 
the devil’s ball,’ and ‘Oh, wait ’till 
I get you alone,’ ete. Daniel al- 
ways has his window open toward 
Jerusalem; he was a man of cour- 
age, and that is why we should un- 
veil his monument. Daniel had a 
spine of bone and not like a shoe- 
string, such as many of us have. 
We need more of Daniel’s backbone. 
We are altogether too prosperous. 
Seience tells us that a man has two 
cents’ worth of iron in him. I know 
men who haven’t even that much. 
We need more men of backbone in 
our everyday life today. There are 
a whole lot of men who have their 
backbone ~where their jawbone 
ought to be. 
“Seeing God depends altogether 
on a man’s location. Daniel was lo- 
eated so that he could see God. 
Where are you located? If a man 
is determined, he can see God from 
wherever he is. We are all build- 
ers, but of what kind? If, as you 
look out of life’s window, you can- 
not see God, you had better tear 
down your building and build all 
over again. What kind of atmos- 
phere comes in your window? North 
river is called the center (scenter) 
of Salem, and it is in more senses 
than one. There are some people 
whose atmosphere never goes be- 
yond the funny page of the Sunday 
papers. Some of the things they 
rend and talk and sing open the 
doors to Hell. Character is made 
up of atmosphere. Open your win- 
dows and in this age of prosper- 
ity get a vision of God.’’ 
Following Mr. Palmer’s talk the 
85 men present partook of a 
chowder supper.

Miss Dorothy Blaisdell was _ re- 
cently elected secretary of the Y. 
W. C. A. connected with Wheaton 
college. 
Miss Mary McGill of Boston was 
in town last week calling on a few 
of her friends. Her visit at this 
time recalls the big fire of March 
14 last year, when the Essex Coun- 
ty club house was totally destroyed 
and when Miss Miss McGill wes ser- 
iously injured by falling from the 
upper part of the building to the 
eround. Miss McGill is still suf- 
fering from the effects of the injury 
received at that time and in all 
probability she never will fully re- 
cover. Aside from injuring her 
back and ribs it will be remembered 
that she had a double fracture of 
the bones in her left foot and also a 
broken bone in the right foot. She is 
still forced to use canes and is un- 
able to stand on her feet for any 
length of time. She is totally dis- 
abled, as far as earning a livlihood 
at her former occupation as house- 
keeper is concerned, and of course 
for one of her age (55) it is very 
difficult to start any new line of 
work. She is cheerful through it 
all, though, and looks on the bright 
side of things. Miss McGill receives

Sunset 
(WRITTEN FOR THE BREEZE) 
How beautiful life’s sunset, 
As we are nearing home, 
Beyond the golden shadows, 
Where troubles are unknown! 
How beautiful tthe sunset, 
As we sail from shore to shore; 
Father, mother, brother, sister 
Have sailed the voyage before. 
How beautiful the sunset 
As its gilds the golden gate, 
Where loved ones there are gathered 
And mothers fondly wait. 
How beautiful the sunset, 
os As we dwell on the great unseen; 
Only a step o’er the threshold, 
Only a vail between. 
How beautiful life’s sunset, 
When all our trials o’er— 
The meeting in the Homeland— 
Where parting is no more.
