Annual Roll-Call and Supper of Baptist 
Church, Manchester. 
The annual roll-call and supper of 
the Baptist church, Manchester, took 
place last Friday evening, at the ves- 
try. Supper was served at 7 o’clock, 
consisting of cold meats, beans, sal- 
ads, and pastry. The blessing was 
asked by Rev. Mr. Harris. 
Following the supper came the roll- 
eall, after which informal address- 
es were made. W. W. Main, secre- 
tary of the Baptist Sunday School 
association was the first speaker. 
He said that it was always with 
great pleasure that he accepted 
an invitation to visit the church 
in Manchester. “As we listen to 
the various passages of scripture 
read here tonight,” he said, “we can- 
not help realizing what a great power 
the word of God is in this world of 
ours. Memories roll back upon us 
tonight as we look about and see the 
missing faces of many of our old 
church members, yet we believe we 
are still marching on and forward like 
a mighty church of God. Beautiful 
as the record is today we are looking 
forward for even a broader and more 
beautiful record. We Baptists, three 
million strong, are doing our work 
nobly both at home and in foreign 
lands. We are like the flag at my 
side. Our church stands for the same 
principles, inspiration, sacrifice, ser- 
vice and liberty. The church is sure- 
ly built upon all of these principles 
and it shail ever stand as a challenge 
to all just as our old glory stands for 
principle and service.” 
Deacon Willis A. Pride of Beverly 
Farms followed, saying that he had 
come down to extend the good will of 
the Farms’ church, which he said was 
a sister to the local church. He went 
back to the time when the Binghams, 
Willmontons, Cheevers and others 
were present at these roll-calls, but 
most all had gone to their reward in 
heaven, since he had been at the gath- 
erings. 
Charles Fleming of Salem followed, 
in his usual witty strain of speech. He 
related numerous stories and closed 
by saying we should be serious as well 
as jolly on such occasions as these. 
He spoke of the history of missions 
and said that some 100 years ago the 
vission enterprise really started, and 
we have been enlisting men into the 
service ever since. 
Rev. A. G. Warner closed the even- 
ing session with a few remarks upon 
the needs of the church. “Blessed be 
the Tie That Binds” was sung by all 
in closing. 
Dr. Southand of Wellesley Gives Pscoeagives 
Talk Before Arbella Club on 
Personal Hygiene. 
Dr. Southand of Wellesley was in 
Manchester Tuesday and gave the 
second of a series of three talks be- 
fore the girls of the Arbella club at 
their semi-monthly meeting in the 
Congregational chapel. There was an 
attendance of about 70, despite the 
snow-storm. ‘The president, Miss Mil- 
dred Peart presided, and announced 
as the first number of the afternoon 
a piano solo by Miss Antoinette Vidal, 
who rendered with excellent expres- 
sion “Silvery Waves.” Dr. Southand 
was then introduced. She talked for 
more than half an hour, giving the 
_ young women some very good advice 
on the care and treatment of the skin. 
Following Dr. Southand’s talk Miss 
_ Vidal rendered another piano solo, 
_ “Queen of Night.” As an encore she 
rendered, “On the Waves.” 
At the social hour which brought 
the afternoon to a close Miss Beth 
Jewett was hostess. 
As Dr. Southand will be unable to 
come on the next regular meeting day 
of the club, Feb. 25, the date will have 
to be changed. A notice will be sent 
to the members later.

MANCHESTER CLuB HoLps SuccEss- 
FUL “Laprgs NicHT.” 
The Manchester club held another 
very successful affair on Wednesday 
evening of this week when the mem- 
bers were privileged to invite the la- 
dies to a sort of “Ladies Night’ (in- 
formal) at the Congregational chapel 
to hear William Hooper of West Man- 
chester tell of the Messina Earth- 
quake. Mr. Hooper was in Rome at 
the time of this great calamity and was 
one of the famous Relief Committee 
of the United States that chartered a 
steamer and went:to the rescue of the 
sufferers. 
As a further entertainment feature 
the committee of the club had the 
Mendelssohn Trio of Salem, composed 
of Misses Minnie and Adeline Chap- 
man, violinist and ’cellist, respectively, 
and Miss Elizabeth Putnam, pianist ; 
zlso Mr. Johnson, who gave a demon- 
stration on a piano, which the club 
may later buy. 
Mr. Hooper prefaced his hour’s talk 
on the earthquake by a series of pic- 
tures showing scenes in Messina and 
vicinity prior to and after the quake, 
as well as pictures of the Bion, the 
German ship chartered by the Relief 
Committee. Instead of giving an off- 
hand reminiscent talk on his experience 
as a member of the committee, Mr. 
Hooper read a paper prepared by 
Commander Belknap and read by the 
latter before a woman’s club recently. 
The paper was very instructive and 
interesting as to the details of that 
terrible calamity and the magnificent 
work of the Americans in giving 
prompt relief to the sufferers, from 
the time the ship was chartered and 
loaded with provisions and clothing 
until some 2000 houses had been erect- 
ed in Messina and vicinity for the 
shelter of the victims. é 
The selections by the Mendelssohn 
trio were as follows: “Cujus Ana- 
mam,” by Jul Weiss; “Fifth Noc- 
turne,” by Leybach; “Romance of a 
Rose,” by O’Connor, and “King 
Mydas Overture,” by Ejildenberg. 
The committee in charge was com- 
posed of William Hawkesworth, 
(chairman) ; J. N. Lipman, I. E. Irish, 
Harry Hooper and George R. Dean. 
Ice cream and fancy crackers and 
cakes were served after the entertain- 
ment. About 125 attended. 
On Tuesday, Feb. 18, Miss Ellen 
Paine Huling will speak on “Labrador 
Through a Woman’s Eyes,” at the 
Manchester Woman’s club. Miss Hul- 
ing is bringing photographs, curios and 
Eskimo costumes collected in her four 
visits to the far north which will add 
interest to her lecture,
