NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER, MASS., FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1909. 
PRESIDENT TAFT IS COMING TO MANCHESTER. 
Said to Have Told New Hampshire Senator His Plans Were Made to That End. 
The probability of President and Mrs. 
Taft and family spending the summer at 
Manchester seems more likely every day, 
though no direct statement has yet been 
given out, as far as we know, that they 
will come. Yesterday morning’s Bos- 
ton Globe, however, has a despatch 
from its Washington correspondent, A. 
Maurice Low, whose despatches are as 
a rule to be relied upon, to the effect 
that President Taft will spend part of the 
summer at Manchester or its vicinity, 
but the exact place has not as yet been 
made public. 
Senator Gallinger went to the White 
House Wednesday, the despatch says, 
and told the President that the people of 
his state were very anxious to have him 
spend the summer in the White Moun- 
tains, but Mr. Taft said his arrangements 
for the summer had been made. 
As we mentioned last week Mrs. ‘Taft 
was on to Manchester a week ago Mon- 
dav and looked over the Edward Robin- 
son house off School street, opposite the 
Essex County club grounds. It is prob- 
able this is ,the house they will 
occupy. 
MANCHESTER FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT. 
The Manchester fire department was 
called out by an alarm from Box 52 at 
the Central station yesterday afternoon at 
3.10 fora slight blaze at the stable of 
Smith’s Express Co: on Elm street. “The 
fire started underneath the building, on 
the southerly corner, under the harness 
room. 
Luke Glidden, the stable man, was 
just preparing to take out the large wag- 
onette to go to the school house for the 
children, when as he entered the harness 
room he detected a smell of smoke and 
at the same time saw a little jet of flame 
coming through the floor around the 
water pipes. He was quick to give the 
alarm, and getting an axe he choppeda 
hole through the floor and soon had a 
small hose pouring water through the 
bole. The department responded with 
its usual promptness, and turned one 
line of hose into the corner of the base- 
ment where the fire seemed to have ori- 
ginated. 
As to the origin of the fire there is 
some doubt. Some think it might have 
originated from spontaneous combustion, 
as there was considerable manure, straw, 
etc., under the stable. 
The damage was about $25.00. 
Had the fire got started it would have 
been a difficult one to fight. The build- 
ing is large and besides ten or more 
horses in it at the time, there is a large 
quantity of furniture stored in the upper 
portion of the building. 
Moderation In Eating. 
‘*The Gastronomic Sin’’ was the 
subject of Rev. L. H. Ruge’s sermon at 
the Congregational church last Sunday 
morning. Not only did the preacher 
draw attention to the necessity of moder- 
ation in eating, but to the Lord’s word 
through Paul that ©“ whether ye eat, or 
whether ye drink, or whatsoever ye do, 
do all to the glory of God.”’ 
Mr. Ruge spoke of the increase in 
epicureanism; of the desire and ambition 
of many to get up new dishes to please 
the appetite. ““It has been said,’’ said 
he, ‘‘that God sends the food, but the 
devil sends the cook. And it might be 
said, without destroying the epigram, 
‘and man is the sufferer.’ 
‘© We have been told that the Indian 
is dying off by civilized cooking,—be- 
cause of excesses in eating. What is 
the significance of the ‘intestinal bath?’ 
The Romans were proficient in this. 
They could eat three or four meals or 
banquets in a single night. 
“* The stomach is the divine labratory 
where the work of creation is forever 
goingon. “The Creator operates through 
that which He creates. Moderation in 
eating not only prevents, but also cures 
many troubles. 
‘*T believe all the good things of life 
are for God’s children. There is not a 
pleasure in this world but what we can 
enjoy if indulged in with moderation.”’ 
WirxHout division or debate the lower 
branch of the state legislature Monday 
afternoon accepted the adverse report of 
the committee on election laws on the 
petition of Senator Shaw of Manchester 
for legislation looking to direct nomina- 
tion of candidates for U. S. Senator. 
AFTER DEATH, WHAT? 
Heaven and Hell—What? 
At the Baptist church, Manchester, 
last Sunday evening, the pastor, Rev. 
Theodore L. Frost delivered a sermon 
onthe above topic. This was the last 
sermon in the series, ‘After Death, 
What?’ Mr. Frost chose for his text 
Acts 1:25, ‘“ That he might go to his 
own place.’’ Following are a few ex- 
cerpts from the sermon. 
‘’ There will be a resurrection of the 
unjust and evil as well asthe good. The 
resurrection of the just will be to Heaven, 
the resurrection of the unjust will be to 
Hell. The question arises: What are 
Heaven and Hell, places or conditions? 
We well try to answer the question. 
** First, Heaven. Whatare the terms 
which describe Heaven in the Word of 
God? They are eternal light, glory, 
knowledge, rest, holiness, service, wor- 
ship, society, communion with God. 
““Is Heaven a place? Yes. The 
terms we find in scripture are applicable 
to aplace. Where is the glorified body 
of Jesus Christ? What became of it? 
The disciples saw Jesus ascend into 
Heaven and take his body with him.’ 
He never discarded that body. His hu- 
man body must occupy a place. ‘Then, 
Heaven is more than a place, it isa con- 
dition. It is a condition of harmony, of 
spiritual union, and communion with 
God. Acondition of spiritual blessed- 
ness where the life is full of beauty, love, 
and righteousness. If heaven is to be 
appreciated, there must be the Heavenly 
condition in the soul and mind. 
‘Second, Hell. What are the terms 
in scripture which describe it? Scripture 
describes it as eternal punishment, eternal 
banishment from the face of the Lord, 
eternal fire, torment, and the pit of the 
abyss. Another term is, the lake of frre, 
the second death. Is ita place? Yes. 
‘These terms indicate a place. It is also 
a condition, a condition of abject misery 
and sorrow. ‘The soul is stripped of all 
spiritual comforts and blessings. It is 
banishment from the face of God and 
that is Hell enough. 
‘“Third, notice the preparations that 
are being made for these two places. 
The first preparation is the law of self 
condemnation. Sinners are condemn- 
ing themselves, coming before the judg- 
ment seats of their own lives, and by the 
actions they are performing day after 
day, declaiming the destiny of the life. 
Sinners declare their own fate and decide
