NORTH SHORE BREEZE 9 
A WRiTER signing himself a churchman in the cur- 
rent number of the North American Review recommends 
that the churches adopt Christian Science as a part of 
their equipment for service in the new era. The church- 
man has forgotten that for centuries the church has 
legitimately and honorably and without the charlatanism 
of Christian Science believed in the great precepts of 
peace of mind and honorable living. What is needed is 
an abandonment by Christian Science of its narrow and 
bigoted opposition 1o real scientific attainments. Under 
the influence of the church, science, art, literature and 
all forms of progress that are called modern have devel- 
oped. To turn aside now and abandon the gains made 
by the centuries of medical experimentation, research 
and practice, is nothing short of folly. The Churchman 
has another guess. Christian Science had better adopt 
the modern church attitude to science and recognize that 
the practice of medicine is a necessary and duly acknow- 
ledged branch of learning. The church has its well 
earned place in society. It will not destroy its position 
of authority and power by allying itself with the me- 
dieval thought and policies of a pseudo-science. 
Tur Recent DEMONSTRATION against Roosevelt in 
Chile was not personal, but emphasizes what this paper 
has often commented upon that the South American states’ 
have been dissatisfied with out policy with regard to the 
Panama Canal and Colombia. The South American 
states are not agreeably disposed to our country. As 
much as this paper deprecates the personal actions of 
Theodore Roosevelt in the last campaign it is broad 
enough to recognize that the demonstration against him 
is an affront to our government. Not serious enough to 
call for anything more than comment; but it is sufficient- 
ly marked to indicate the South American attitude. As 
far as ex-Pres. Roosevelt is concerned it was an unfor- 
tunate incident and must have been somewhat embar- 
rassing, but for the good that may come out of it it may 
be considered fortunate. For it gives the United States 
a practical insight into the state of feeling there. It is 
well that the chart has all the rocks and reefs marked. 
It is well for us to know the state of feeling in South 
Ameirca. 
THE FINDING oF THE Mona Lisa was a cause for 
international rejoicing. It would have been unfortunate 
if that art treasure never came to light. 
MANCHESTER has had its first community Christmas 
tree. It was a brilliant idea, well planned, developed and 
executed. It adds much to the charm of the Christmas 
season. The sweet songs in the clear air and the spirit 
of bon comaraderie made a community celebration that 
was pleasant indeed. The tendency to make the Shore 
a place for the year round residence is increasing as 
was shown by the participants in Wednesday’s festivities, 
The committee on arrangements for the festivities de- 
serve and have had the hearty commendation of all. 
‘The celebration should be repeated next year. 
XMAS WEATHER 
Despite the fact that the weather 
man has been serving up to the pub- 
lic several varieties of real New 
England weather during the past few 
days, he has nevertheless been rather 
considerate for Xmas shoppers. The 
rain of Tuesday night came so late 
that it did not hamper the small army 
of shoppers who beseiged the stores 
up to the last minute. The various 
celebrations scheduled for Wednesday 
evening were not interrupted because 
of unfavorable weather conditions.

All things considered, the unsettled

promise of an open winter. 
Matt, Out on TIME 
Postmaster Wheaton and his corps 
of assistants at the local postoffice 
cleaned up all of the Xmas mail in 
such a way that holiday packages 
mailed to Manchester reached the re- 
cipients on time. There was an 
enormous amount of mail matter to 
be distributed, partly on account of 
the parcel post, but everything was
