Sabbath. The Episcopal Church has its field of usefulness

Congregational churches with settled clergymen are car- 
‘ing harmoniously and effectively for the religious inter- 
ests of the permanent protestant population. The Bro- 
therhood, non-denominational in character although meet- 
‘ing at the Baptist Church, has already become an efficient 
social service institution. The summer protestant popu- 
ation sustains the services in the pretty Episcopal Church 
and in the picturesque Unitarian church. In Magnolia 
‘the Catholics are well cared for and two Protestant 
churches are well sustained. The village church main- 
tains services throughout the year and the Union Services 
‘are conducted during the summer months. The Catholic

interests of the Shore are, indeed, well cared for.

tain branches here in summer. What shore resort pre- 
sents such purchasing advantages.

Tue Crry or BeverLY has inaugurated an excellent 
plan in developing the streets of Ward Six. The work 
now is being laid out systematically. The sidewalk appro- 
priation is being expended for new work according to a 
definite plan, so that after a series of years the construc- 
tive work all over the ward will have been completed. 
The Beverly Improvement society has co-operated and 
paid for shade trees,—the society paying FOmmet ie 
trees and the city paying for the labor of putting 
them in. This year the work has been completed on 
Haskell and Everett streets. ‘The policy is so good and its 
exectition has worked out so well it is surprising that 
it has not been done before.

motorists. There’s a reason! Its good roads and price- 
less views of natures’s beauty present attractions that 
draw with inevitable power.
