To Hortp MINstrREL SHOW—MAN- 
CHESTER CLUB DECIDES AT 
ANNUAL MEETING. 
A minstrel show is to be held in 
Manchester Town hall sometime in 
late February or early March, under 
the auspices of the Manchester club. 
This was decided at the annual meet- 
ing of the club last Friday evening. 
’ The committee in charge is Dr. Frank 
A. Willis, Charles Hooper, M. Talbot 
Hoare, E. H. Wilcox and Allen Den- 
nis. Dr. Willis will direct the show 
and arrangements are already well 
under way. The members will get 
together at the club to practice songs 
regularly. 
The officers of the club, elected last 
Friday evening, are as follows: Harry 
T. Swett, president; Joseph N. Lip- 
man, vice president; Arthur FE. Olson, 
secy.-treas.; E. H. Wilcox, collector ; 
Fred J. Merrill, auditor; Dr. F. A. 
Willis, M. Talbot Hoare, Austin C. 
Jones and Frank A. Foster, executive 
committee; Charles Hooper Abbott 
Hoare and Dr. F. A. Willis, music 
committee. The president appointed 
as entertainment committee: William 
Hawkesworth, S. Henry Hoare. 
Chester L. Standley, Edward Crowell 
and George Beaton. 
The reports of the treasurer and 
collector were the most encouraging 
and showed a larger cash balance 
than since the organization of the club 
twelve years ago. The membership 
of the club is very near the limit and 
there is more life and good fellow- 
ship manifest this winter than ever. 
Nearly 700 attended the sermon 
and vespers at the Sacred Heart 
church last Sunday afternoon. Dele- 
gations from Rockport and Glouces- 
ter Holy Name societies were in at- 
tendance. The sermon was preached 
by Rev. Fr. Dwyer of St. Ann’s 
church Gloucester.

the “Christian Endeavor Week” to be 
observed by the C. E. society of the 
Baptist church. Sunday, Jan. 28.

mons to Endeavorers. Wednesday

“A book is a friend; a good book 
is a good friend. It will talk to you 
when you want it to talk, and it will 
keep still when you want it to keep 
still—and there are not many friends 
who know enough to do that. A li- 
brary is a collections of friends.”—
