_ Despite THE INcLEMENCY of the weather the two 
hundiedth anniversary of the Manchester Congregational 
church was a great success, Sunday. . The program was 
carefully planned and equally well executed and it was a 
credit to those having the plans for the anniversary in 
hand. It is difficult to compute the values of an institu- 
tion such as the church in a community. Its influence is 
not always apparent, but it does its work none the less 
efficiently. A growing tree does not show many signs of 
growth in the span of a day. A child that returns from 
school at night does not seem to reveal many signs of 
development, but give the tree a decade and the child a 
few years and the steady every day work counts up un- 
erringly and effectually. The head of the Church, Christ, 
called the work of the Gospel a leaven hidden in the meal. 
The ministrations and influence of the old church have 
been at work in the community and countless lives have 
been helped and souls strengthened by its ministration. 
The future presents a challenge as great as the past and 
it is not too early to forecast that as the years go by 
the institution will exert a still broader and effectual in- 
fluence in the community. 
JoHN SHERMAN UseEp to Say in defence of his par- 
tisan activities that ‘he made it a rule always to act with 
his party, on great matters from principles, and on small 
matters from policy.” This makes an admirable partisan 
slogan, but progress within a party can only be attained 
where the minority speaks out its mind and insists that 
the general policy and principles of the party square with 
the greater moral and ethical issues. For a partisan to 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 55 
surrender his convictions on even smaller matters for the 
sake of partisan unity in the end must mean death to the 
party demanding the acquiescence. The party may gain 
by wholesome opposition within the ranks upon issues of 
ethical worth and vital principle. 
Tue Last Two SEAsons upon the North Shore have 
been unusual both as to heat and the rainfall. Anyone 
who has lived upon the Shore the last two seasons does 
not know the delights of the district. The rainy days of 
last year are repeated this year. Last August was a 
depressingly wet month taking all the pleasure out of 
shore life and the snap of summer business interests. 
The future, however, looks promising. As far as the 
weather bureau can tell us the coming days will be good. 
They will be welcome. A delightful August and a glori- 
ous September will redeem the cold days of June and the 
rain of July. 
THe DEPARTURE OF THE DEUTCHLAND and the ar- 
rival of the Bremen have been the interests of three con- 
tinents and many millions of people. The future effects 
of the successful operation of an under the sea line be- 
tween America and Germany cannot now be foreseen, 
but two nations are now battling; every effort will be 
made to prevent either or both boats from effectually 
carrying out their mission. Whatever else may be the 
issues involved the two under-sea ships present “thrillers” 
of the first magnitude. No one need to look to fiction 
for stirring narratives. 
THE “Auto FrstivaL” at the North Shore Grill, Mag- 
nolia, on Friday evening was a delightful affair. The 
inclement weather, however, kept many away, who. had 
made reservations for dinner, but which later had to be 
cancelled. A number were there for the festivities and 
the excellent dinner which was served. Dancing was en- 
joyed to the music of the unsurpassed singing orchestra. 
The silver cup, given to the lucky automobile registration 
number drawn, was awarded Miss Helen Bell of Phil- 
adelphia. The cup is a beauty and is marked “North 
Shore Grill Club, Magnolia.” Mr. Delmonte, the rest- 
dent manager is planning a cycle of these pleasant even- 
ings which ought to be good news. Noticed among the 
dancers and diners were: Mrs. L,. P. Haxton, Miss Ruth 
McLean, Mr. and Mrs. Bettman, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Pol- 
lak, Chester and Winthrop Lockwood, Miss Eleonora 
Sears, R. L. Steinert, I. F. Mann, R. H. Black, Miss 
Helen Bell. 
Miss Christine Miller, the famous grand opera singer 
of Pittsburg, who has been a guest of the Oceanside, 
Magnolia, for the past month, entertained the patrons of 
the North Shore Grill Friday evening with several vocal 
selections in her delightful manner. Miss Miller pos- 
sesses a rich contralto voice of extensive range, and her 
solos on “Annie Laurie” and “Old Black Joe” were an 
unusual treat.

prices of shoes. In view of the leather scarcity this spe-

grade footwear. All summer shoes in stock will be in- 
cluded in the sale. 
Mrs. Youngbride—I’d like to change these eggs | 
ordered by telephone yesterday. 
Grocer—What’s wrong with them, ma’am? 
Mrs. Youngbride—Why, the shells are a deep brown 
and the only egg cups I have are a robin’s egg blue.
