should go, until we find the quiet, 
holy place. 
‘‘Quietness has its moral applica- 
tion. It has a moral effect on the 
soul and makes it calm. When 
trouble and evil break the silence, 
there is a wisdom more profound 
than words. It is hard to hold our 
peace in trying circumstances, but 
Christ was still under many trying 
circumstances. He rarely replied to 
the jibes of his enemies, and he was 
led to his cross ‘like a lamb led to 
the slaughter, he opened not his 
mouth.’ Let us then preserve the 
Christ-like quietness of soul. Be- 
fore crushing defeat be still. Faith 
preserves its calm before death, ac- 
cident and other unsolved mysteries. 
‘“‘Nature is an example of quiet- 
ness. What falls more quietly than 
the dew, and. yet what is more ef- 
fective? What fragrance unfolds 
more quietly than the flowers? The 
stars and sun are noiseless. The 
ereatest love is without language or 
power of utterance. 
“The older we get, the wiser we 
are; and the wiser we are, the less 
dogmatic we are; and the less dog- 
matic we are, the quieter we are. 
‘““There is a science of unformu- 
lated speech in which God alone 
speaks and in.which the immortal 
soul listens.’

ANNUAL REUNION OF CONGRE- 
GATIONAL CHURCH. 
The annual supper and roll eall of 
the Congregational church, Man- 
chester, Wednesday evening at the 
Chapel proved a great success and 
was quite largely attended. Supper 
was served at 6.30, after which the 
roll was called. The calling of the 
roll was interspersed by solos by 
Mrs. Raymond C. Allen, Prof. A. 
L. Sabin and Mrs. Frank G. Cheever. 
All were rendered in a very pleasing 
manner. After the reading of sev- 
eral letters from absent pastors and 
members, among them letters from 
Rev. Mr. Tenney, Rev. Mr. Gleason, 
Rev. Mr. Fate, Rev. Mr. Lincoln, 
Deacon Torrey, Mr. and Mrs. Robert 
Culbert and Miss Agnes Sjolund and 
Miss Mabelle Lodge, the pastor was 
ealled upon and responded with 
brief remarks. He in turn ealled 
upon Geo. Forster Allen, who re- 
sponded in a fitting manner. Mr. 
Allen said, ‘‘I am hardly fit to be 
here, but I am glad to see so many 
familiar faces. God has smiled upon 
us the past year and things seem 
to be going very smoothly. These 
responses coming from former pas- 
tors are interesting and instructive 
and coming to us from the distance 
are encouraging to us. We can take 
home to our hearts much that has 
been said this evening.’’ 
Deacon Oliver T. Roberts was next 
called upon and spoke in a very in- 
teresting manner, giving a short de- 
seription of St. Paul’s Cathedral in 
and of the impression it 
made on him while there. 
Deacon Frank Knight was called 
upon. He closed his remarks with 
a humorous story. 
Prof. N. B. Sargent said in part: 
‘‘T am leading a strenuous life, es- 
pecially when it is going to result 
in as good a supper as I always get 
here. When I was coming down 
here in the ears, I thought of the 
sail boat with Brother Allen, Dea- 
con Knight, Capt. Carter and Mr. 
Hoyt with me sailing to. Marblehead 
and Lowell Island and other places. 
Then I thought of the walks I took 
to Singing Beach and Eagle Head 
and Gales Pt.’’ He spoke of getting 
up one Sunday morning and going 
to the beach early so people would 
not see him and think he was des- 
ecrating the Sabbath. On the way 
back, he met Deacon Low coming 
straight toward him, and as he was 
a member of the school committee, 
Mr. Sargent felt rather afraid of 
receiving a scolding for setting a 
bad example in desecrating the Sab- 
bath. But it so happened that Dea- 
con Low had the same ideas on the 
subject as did Prof. Sargent. Ile 
said ‘‘There was always a better 
bond between us for that conversa- 
tion that Sunday morning. Don’t 
be afraid of going to the beach or 
woods on Sunday if you are in the 
right spirit. I want to say a few 
words to the young people here to- 
night. I want to give you the ele- 
ments of success in one short sent- 
ence, the most remarkable sentence 
ever uttered by a boy of 12 years, 
‘Wist ye not that I must be about 
my Father’s business.’ That is 
what is needed in the world today, 
young people about their Father’s 
business. There are too many who 
are about the devil’s business. What 
is the Father’s business? Doing our 
duty in the best way; our best work 
in the best method. That is doing 
our Father’s business.’’ He closed 
his remarks with a humorous story. 
The program was concluded with a 
original song by Prof. Sargent called 
Manchester-by-the-Sea. 
The committee in charge of the 
affair was: Mrs. Hollis L. Roberts, 
Mrs. Geo. Kitfield, Miss Jessie 
Hoare, Miss Ethel McDiarmid, Mrs. 
Alice Haskell, D. T. Beaton, Wm. 
Hodgdon and Richard L. Cheever. 
The following young ladies served as 
waitresses: Misses Annie L. Lane, 
Elizabeth P. Jewett, Fannie S. 
Knight, Alice G. Knight, Mabel Mas- 
len, Alice A. Hoare, Ethel P. Jones, 
assisted by Misses Jessie Hoare and 
EthelMcDiarmid of the committee. 
The tables were very attractive with 
eut flowers, which were sent to the 
sick at the close of the evening. A 
vote of thanks was given the donors 
of the flowers.

We have heard of all kinds of 
jokes being played by employers in 
Manchester, on their boys, such as 
sending them to borrow left-handed 
serew drivers, ete., but John F, 
Seott, the Post-office block plumber, 
sprung a new one a few days ago. 
He was working at the Breeze of- 
fice when the helper in his employ, 
after completing some work, tele- 
phoned to find out what next to do. 
Mr. Seott replied over the telephone, 
as calmly as though giving a real 
order, for the young man to get a 
package of bird seed for the cuckoo 
clock. When Mr. Scott returned, he 
found on his desk a large package 
of bird seed. He said at the time he 
should set the boy to work the next 
morning counting the seed, but we
