HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY BANQUET. 
Tenth Annual Brings Together Gardeners of the North Shore. 
Evening Spent 
in Banquet, Entertainment and Dance. 
That it takes more than rain and fowl 
weather to dampen the ardor of North 
Shore gardeners was evidenced Wednes- 
day evening when the Town hall at Man- 
chester was crowded by members of the 
North Shore Horticultural society, their 
families and friends, on the occasion of 
the 10th annual banquet. “Though it 
rained pell-mell in the early evening it 
did not prevent the crowd from coming 
out. ‘The affair wascrowned with suc- 
cess from start to finish. 
It was about 6.45 when President 
James Salter called the gathering to order 
and blessing was pronounced by the Rev. 
Fr. Wm. F. Powers. There were 
about 215 persons served. The follow- 
ing menu was the feature of interest for 
the next hour. 
Escalloped Oysters 
Roast Turkey Brown Gravy 
Cranberry Sauce 
Mashed Potatoes Boiled Onions 
Celery

The tables were tastily decorated with 
vases of beautifully colored cut flowers 
and the chandeliers and lights along the 
wails were enshrouded in greenery. 
The stage was decked with cut flowers 
and greenery, in the midst of which 
was the orchestra. 
Long’s orchestra furnished the music 
during the banquet and entertainment, 
and for the dance following. 
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS, 
By Joseph A. Torrey. 
What is Religion—do you ask? 
Tis not a task; 
It is for you 
A help your task to do; 
A joy and strength within, not cloak nor mask. 
Is God, whom we adore, a cruel king? 
Nay, no such thing; 
Say, rather, 
A loving Father, 
To whom we asa child may fondly cling. 
And tell me what is prayer? Is it a charm 
To keep from harm? 
It is the union 
And sweet communion 
Of souls with God; a leaning on the Almighty 
arm. 
How may I serve my God from day today? 
Trust Him alway! 
With joyful mind 
And stedfast will resigned, 
Not as a slave, but as a son, obey. 
How may [ help to bring his kingdom in? 
Do thou begin 
With thy own heart; 
Be it thy humble part 
To conquer self; God’s kingdom is within. 
What if my path be hedged about with sorrow? 
Thou canst borrow 
Refreshment from the thought 
That He who thy salvation wrought, 
Shall welcome in heaven some glad tomorrow. 
Will those affections which endear 
Companions here, 
Win us God’s love? 
Yea, one is love, below, above, 
And Love shall rule thro’ a'l the heavenly year. 
How shall I know my dear ones in that home 
Beyond the starry dome? 
A wondrous change! 
But nothing shall seem strange; 
It is our Father’s house to which we come. 
Why should I tremble at death or fear to die? 
Yea, why! 
*Tis but a sleep, 
A slumber strange and deep, 
From which we wake, no more to weep or sigh. 
How shall my soul while here find rest and 
peace? 
Nay, cease 
Such questioning, 
And say, ‘* How may I bring 
Unto some other soul a glad release?’’ 
My only prayer be this, ‘‘O Father take 
And make 
Me all thine own, 
And may thy love be known 
In every-sin sick soul, for Jesus’ sake.’’
