The Railroad Question. 
The answer which has been made 
to the requests made to the Boston 
& Maine railroad by the Transporta- 
tion committee of the Beverly board 
of trade, Herman <A. MacDonald, 
chairman, while granting more 
privileges to Beverly, helps the 
Gloucester branch. The temporary 
shelter on the east side of the sta- 
tion has been a long feet want and 
will be appreciated by every resi-. 
dent of the branch, who has oceasion > 
to go to Beverly. When the road 
is electrified a few years hence, this 
problem will be cared for perman- 
ently and more satisfactorily. The 
city of Beverly has been granted a 
ten-ride book to Lynn, but Beverly 
Farms has been denied a ten-ride, 
The. 
book at a reduction in fare. 
Gloucester branch express, which 
has hitherto stopped at Montserrat 
at 9.49 a. m., and at Salem at 9.58 
Oe Be 
Beverly. This concession will afford 
the business men of Manchester and 
Beverly Farms an_ opportunity to 
reach Beverly at a convenient hour. 
The evening train service problem 
will stop after April 15, at 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
is still unsettled. No new train has 
been granted after the 6.22 p. m. 
train from Rockport, and before the 
8.42 p. m. train from Rockport. The 
failure of this petition is regretted 
at every station on the branch. 
The Immortal Hope. 
The awakening of nature, the 
spring time, and the return of the 
great day of the Church dedicated 
to the faith in the immortality of the 
soul imparted to the world by the 
founder of the church, causes even 
the careless to give more than a 
pasing thought to the destiny of 
man and the worth of the soul with- 
in. What all would have revelated 
is the answer to the question. After 
death, what? It is of no small mo- 
ment in this ideal of an immortal 
hope that every race known to the 
anthroplogist has had some belief in 
an immortal life. Many of these 
have’ been crude, irrational and of- 
ten bestial. But others have been 
cultured and bore ineffaceable evi- 
dence of the spirit in man. Today 
many are of the mind of Shelley, ‘‘I 
hope but my hopes are not unmixed 
with fear for what will befall all 
this inestimable spirit when we die. 
I am content to see no farther into 
futurity than Plato and Bacon. My 
mind. is tranquil: I have no fears 
and some hopes. In our _ present 
gross material state our faculties are 
clouded: when death removes our 
clay covering, the mystery will be 
solved.’’ There is an element of un- 
certainty in the minds of the man 
who-tries to ferret out the secrets 
of the inner life and the destiny of 
the soul, unaided by faith. For faith 
in immortality is born of the heart 
and not of the mind. The heart has 
joys the mind can never understand 
or deny. This uncertainty, timidity 
and fear which dominates the in- 
timations of Shelley are symbolic. 
His hope is the same wavering hope 
of all literature, all poetry and all 
philosophy. There is a marked con- 
trast to this hopeful fear and fear- 
ful hope in the strong and certain 
faith in the immortality of the soul 
in Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles, 
who says, ‘‘There is a natural body 
and there is a spiritual body. First 
that which is natural, then that 
which is spiritual.’’ The spring tide 
awakening is used by that great 
Leader of men, not as an argument, 
but as an illustration to the eye of 
the reality of the unseen, ‘‘for eye 
hath not seen nor ear heard, neither 
hath it entered into the mind of 
man.’’ ‘‘That which thou sowest is 
not quickened except it die. And 
that which thou sowest, thou sowest 
not that body that shall be.’’ No 
better argument and intimation of 
immortality has been written than 
the words of the letter on that sub- 
ject which he wrote toa body of 
believers at Corinth. But whenee, 
came this steady faith in the midst 
of a world of paganism and doubt 
with its paralyzing agnosticism con- 
cerning all the virtues of the in- 
dividual and society. This certain 
note of faith came from the Master 
of men. The faith of Paul was the 
faith of the risen Christ. From Jesus 
of Nazareth, the world received the 
great message of faith in immor- 
tality. As a faith it is proclaimed 
positively without argument or logic 
to be the end of Christ’s life to pro- 
claim eternal life. Christ has carried 
the world with him and the soul 
reach of the heart in man finds its 
faith for the immortal hope in the 
testimony of the Easter thought, 
the Risen Christ. 
The New Steamer. 
After tomorrow, Beverly Farms 
will have an efficient steamer avail- 
able for action in ease of fire in the 
district. It has been nothing short 
of a good fortune that the Shore 
has not been visited by a severe fire, 
for under the strain of a severe fire 
fight the old engine would doubtless 
have failed. The community has 
been leaning on a broken reed for a 
long while. It has been strange that 
the fire underwriters have not ob- 
jected to the conditions of fire pro- 
tection. The new steamer has been 
delivered to the city of Beverly and 
will go into service at the Central 
fire station Saturday of this week. 
Credit is due the members of the 
local department of Beverly Farms, 
for their successful efforts to obtain 
better fire protection. Mr. Loring, 
alderman from the ward deserves 
the appreciation of every thoughtful 
citizen for his tact, persistency and 
untiring labor to put the measure 
through. The protection was a 
necessity. Now every resident may 
feel assured that an efficient steamer 
is always ready for service. There 
are strong arms to make it hum 
when the time comes.
