LIBRARY NOTES 
The books in the Manchester Pub- 
lic Library have to be recatologued, 
but some preliminary work has to be 
done before a catologue can be made 
out. In the Town Report for this 
year there was appended an author’s 
alphabetical list of all the books put 
into the library the past year. It is 
the purpose of the trustees to have 
such a list published each year and it 
is hoped that the patrons of the li- 
brary will keep their reports and thus 
have at hand a good finding list of re- 
cent literature to be found in the li- 
brary. 
The library is indebted to Mrs. F. 
M. Whitehouse for a further contri- 
bution of books comprising travel and 
recent fiction. 
The Panama Canal will in all 
probability be opened before another 
year goes by and every citizen should 
know more about this great canal. 
There is no excuse for not being well 
posted on the subject for the Pan- 
American Union of Wash. D. C., has 
just published “Panama Canal: What 
It Is and What it Means.” ‘This work 
is by the Hon. John Barrett, Director 
General of the Pan American Union. 
In a small work of some 120 pages all 
necessary information is given about 
the “big ditch.” 
“Livingstone, the Pathfinder,” by 
Basil Mathews is an interesting vol- 
ume about this great man. The most 
important facts of his life are related 
in an attractive manner that should 
appeal especially to the young reader. 
The book is well illustrated and has 
maps. 
“The Sunset of the Confederacy,” 
by Morris Schaff is a description of 
the last few weeks of the Civil War. 
It is a pathetic story, well told. It 
should appeal to. both North and 
South. 
“The: Lucky. Sixpence,’ by Emilie 
Benson Knipe and Alden Arthur 
Knipe, is a tale of the days of the 
Revolution. Lord Howe is one of the 
prominent characters in the book and 
was the recipient of one-half of the 
“lucky. sixpence.” 
Readers who enjoyed “The Little 
Shepherd of Kingdom Come” and 
“The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” 
by John Fox, Jr., will be glad to be 
able to read this author’s work, ‘The 
Heart-of the Hill.” The story has to 
do with the people of the Cumberland 
mountains and the Blue Grass region 
of Kentucky. 
Those familiar with “The Lighten- 
ing Conductor” will welcome another 
story by these authors. The scene of 
“The Heather Moon’’ is laid in Scot- 
land and much information may be 
gleaned about that interesting coun- 
try. Te Gi

“The Average Man” 
Subject of Talk by Beverly 
Minister, Before Manchester 
Brotherhood. 
Rev. Carey W. Chamberlin of Bev- 
erly gave a most interesting talk be- 
fore the members of the Manchester 
Brotherhood last Monday evening. 
He took for his subject, “The Aver- 
age Man.” He said in part :— “First 
of all I am to tell you gentlemen that 
there are three distinct kinds of men: 
First, there is the man who is down 
and out; second, there is the rich man, 
one who has wealth, but isn’t doing 
anything with his wealth; and lastly, 
the man who does something. The 
carpenter, the painter, the average 
every-day man, is the man who does 
something. The men of this genera- 
tion are far superior to the men of 
other generations. They are super- 
ior physically, mentally and spiritual- 
ly. As to length of life the average 
man is now living 25 per cent more 
years than formerly. Men are in- 
creasing in intellect, for invention 
goes to show this advancement. 
Science and invention are making 
great strides forward to relieve the 
working man of manual labor. More 
machinery is under a battleship’s deck 
than was in existence in Queen Eliza- 
beth’s reign in England. The advan- 
cement of machinery the past ten 
years make the old models of machin- 
ery look very queer. Few years ago 
people would have laughed at a flying 
machine as absurd. Now these won- 
derful birds of the air are common 
occurences. All of these wondérful 
things come from the hands of the 
average man. 
“The average man ,too, thinks a 
good deal of his childern. Very of- 
ten you will find a man with the pic- 
ture of his child in his pocket or 
watch. He works daily for the child 
and the home. He believes in a 
square deal, and desires to see his 
neighbor get along as well as he him- 
self gets along. He believes in the 
goodness of things and believes God 
is the father of all good things. 
“It shows the spirit of Brother- 
hood when you look over the direc- 
tory of charities of Boston. It in- 
cludes various classes of charity and 
shows a deep indication of good feel- 
ing. Seven millions of people in this 
country believe in the really good 
things and are ready to stand up for 
it. These people of charity are cer- 
tainly average men and are doing their 
best to manifest it.” 
. Mr. Chamberlin then went on to 
state how the father should be an ex- 
a> ple for his children, especially the 
boys. Many fathers leave the church 
to the wife while he stays home and 
reads the Sunday paper. He tells 
his wife she should go to church as 
he worked hard all the week and paid 
the bills. Is this the right example 
for children? Here Mr. Chamber- 
lin told a story which emphasized his 
point in a very strong manner. He 
ended his talk by speaking of the rum 
traffic in this country and told what 
the average man was doing to stop 
He spoke of the kindness 
in the recent 
the curse: 
of the average man 
flood.
