Mrs. Harriet Younger and Mrs. 
Addison Williams. 
Tuesday evening, Alderman Au- 
gustus P. Loring, Jr., addresses the 
Board of Directors of the. Bev- 
erly branch of the §S. P:.C. S. 
His subject was ‘‘The Housing 
Problem in Beverly.’’ The ward six 
alderman was particularly compe- 
tent to present this matter because 
of his training at the Social Train- 
ing school of Harvard. 
Many Farms people, friends of 
Rev. Robt. Bennett, are pleased to 
learn that he is now located at Ash- 
land, Mass. The Rev. Mr. Bennett 
was a former pastor of the local 
Baptist church. 
Samuel F. Collamore and Elmer 
Standley represented the Farms Odd 
Fellows at the visitation of the 
Grand Master at Gloucester, Mon- 
day evening. 
Miss Alice Chapman has accepted 
a position as stenographer at the U. 
S. Shoe Machinery Company’s plant 
at Beverly. She has commenced her 
duties. 
Mrs. M. de La Motte of New York, 
has given up her plans to locate at 
the Farms during the summer in the 
future. She has given up her leased 
apartments in the J. A. Mayberry 
house on Haskell street. She offers 
her furniture for sale. 
The scholars at the ‘‘Little Com- 
fort’? school in East Wenham, are 
enjoying this week their spring va- 
cation. 
Miss Russell, a sister of the well- 
known missionary to the Philippine 
Islands, the Rev. J. Francis Russell, 
was a visitor here over the last week- 
end. She was the guest of Miss 
Louise Chapman, daughter of. Mr. 
and Mrs. John L. Chapman. 
In last week’s issue of the Breeze, 
the article which referred to the 
mecessity of more trains and the. 
hope that this coming summer’s 
schedule would provide for such, 
met the hearty approval of the 
Farms people. There is an especial 
need of a train to Beverly, Salem 
and Boston from 7.30 to 8 p.m. The 
fact that one cannot at the present 
time get to the previously mentioned 
places between 6.49 and 9.13 o’cloek 
is a hardship an dthe cause of much 
complaint. 
Chas. Petrie, a well known trainer 
of the Beverly Soccer football team, 
who has resided at ‘‘ West Park,” 
Beverly, has accepted a ~ position 
flere. He will move here very soon.

‘*Come out West, old boy, and 
visit me on my farm,”’ wrote the en- 
thusiastic Kansas’ man; ‘‘breathe 
the fresh air, eat young onions, and 
get close to nature’s heart.”’ 
‘‘That sounds alluring,’’ wrote 
the jaded Easterner, ‘‘but do you 
think nature would let me get close 
to her after eating your onions?’’—

‘DOES THE MODERN MAN NEED 
A CHURCH? 
By S. M. Crothers. 
I think that the question whether 
the Church has any longer a useful 
function depends on a consideration 
that has nothing to do with the old 
ecclesiastical pretensions. Let us 
turn away from these pretensions al- 
together. Let us face the future, 
and look at the free and generous 
ideals which command the allegiance 
of the modern man. This man is 
not asking how he may flee from the 
wrath of an angry God, he is not 
intent on understanding the niceties 
of any theological scheme. It may 
be that in regard to these things he © 
is profoundly sceptical, and he turns 
away from the churches where they 
are taught. 
Yet there are some things he does 
believe in, and his faith is real 
though it may be slow in taking 
form. * * * He believes in human- 
ity and in the moral relations be-— 
tween his life and the lives of others. 
He believes that he has within him- 
self powers to be developed for no- 
ble uses. He believes in nature, in 
reason, in conscience, 
are these great ideals of his to be 
most worthily fulfilled? Can they be 
best fulfilled in sullen solitude, while 
the believer shuns his fellows that he 
may work out his own salvation, or 
do they require for their develop- 
ment the contact with other minds 
and the co-operation of other wills? 
I believe that is a question that is 
answered in the very asking. The 
modern ideal of religion is pre- 
eminently a social ideal, and it must 
express itself in some social way.. It 
inspires to united effort, and does 
not drive the individual into selfish 
isolation. * * * One cannot excuse 
himself for his lack of co-operation 
by saying that he is cultivating the 
virtues which belong to his own 
character. There are’ virtues 
which flourish only in the genial 
atmosphere of human fellowship. 
** * This fellowship must be 
freer than that of the church in the 
past, but it must not be less real. If 
we believe in the revelation of divine 
truth, through nature and through 
the soul, we will seek out our fellow- 
believers. As we unite for a common 
work, we are strengthened and in- 
spired, 
faith.’’—Exchange.
