NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
Former Manchester Pastor Abandons 
Calls on His Parishoners During 
the Heated Season. 
The hot weather and its attendant 
necessity for negligee costume has caused 
the Rev. C. A. Lincoln, assistant pastor 
of the Pilgrim Congregational church, at 
St. Louis, formerly pastor of the Con- 
gregational church at Manchester, to 
abandon making calls in the summer 
time. He too often arrives when the 
women members of his flock are in that 
flowing, loose, how-cool-I-am_ raiment, 
and, as a consequence, finds it difficult 
to attend properly to his duties. 
The Rev. Mr. Lincoln declares that 
too often, while making his calls, he is 
forced to wait in the parlor, holding his 
hands, while the hostesses array them- 
selves, that is, those who do not appear 
in the fascinating negligee which they 
affect on the insufferably hot days. 
“*T do not care to interrupt a satisfying 
siesta,’’ said the Rev. Mr. Lincoln. 
** Hence I tried to choose a later after- 
noon hour. But even then I found that 
I either had to wait too long or put my 
hostess to the necessity of appearing in 
her negligee. I have no objection to this 
cool raiment, you understand, but I 
know the ladies do not like to appear in 
a minister's presence thus, so I just de- 
cided to put off my calls on the women 
members and devote myself to the men.’’
