MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
Mtsston WorKER Stirs Bic GATHER- 
ING OF MEN ON MONDAY 
EVENING. 
There was a generous response to 
the general invitation sent out for the 
Manchester Brotherhood meeting, 
Monday evening, it being the largest 
attendance of the season. About 140 
were present. After the usual song 
service a duet was rendered by Rev. 
A. G. Warner and Archie ‘Cool, which 
was highly appreciated. The speaker 
of the evening was P. E. Call, super- 
intendent of the Dover st. mission, 
Boston, and he gave a wonderfully 
interesting exposition of the work of 
the mission, what it has accomplished, 
and what it expects to accomplish in 
the future. Mr. Call is a rapid-fire 
talker, his words coming at express- 
train speed, keeping everyone busy to 
follow with him. About mid-way of 
his address he became so warmed up 
to his work that he peeled off his 
coat and finished his talk in his shirt 
sleeves, reminding the audience as he 
did so to have no fear, for he meant 
them no harm. 
The speaker began by giving a little 
bit of history of himself, being ac- 
customed in his earlier days to hit the 
high places, he said. He warmed to 
his subject, expressing his pleasure 
of the privilege of meeting and talk- 
ing to so many real men. Many pic- 
tures were shown by the stereopticon 
of the working of the mission and of 
many men and women who had been 
brought to lead better lives through 
its influence. Plans are now under- 
way for a new building, for which 
$102,000 has been raised, a very hand- 
some structure of brick and stone and 
admirably suited to the work. A 
restaurant in the basement will feed 
several hundred at a sitting and the 
upper floors will contain administra- 
tion offices, dormitories, reading 
rooms, etc., while on top will be a 
roof garden where the very small 
children will be provided with sand 
pens to play off the street. In front 
on the street floor, there will be a 
public, fountain where ice water may 
be obtained at all times, a luxury that 
many who have it do not appreciate, 
but in the hot city is so greatly valued 
that it has become one of the best 
works of the mission, 8000 _ being 
served in a single season. It is ex- 
pected to open the new building in 
September and all are welcome. 
“There is no creed but Christ and 
no law but love,’ he said. “No one 
needs help so much as when he is 
down and out; they don’t want help 
when everything is going along all 
right; so when the men are out of a 
job they are taken into the mission

Drink is responsible for a_ very 
large percent of all the trouble, and 
the danger of the first drink was 
vividly portrayed by means of pic- 
tures in actual life. The speaker read 
a poem entilted, “Since Father doesn’t 
Drink,” which well illustrated the 
change that contes to the home when 
the wage earner spends his money 
for care of his family instead of in 
the barroom. The speaker prophesied 
that it would not be long before we 
will have a_ saloonless nation and 
when that time comes, it will be a 
great day for the country. 
Pictures of many criminals, and 
others who had come to the mission 
and been converted, changing their 
lives from one of shame to one of 
usefulness, were shown and _ de- 
scribed, making a story of thrilling 
heart interest. Mr. Call was given 
close attention throughout. At the 
close of the address ice cream was 
served.
