The Billy Sunday campaign reached 
Manchester last-evening in a meeting 
engineered on genuine “Billy Sun- 
day” lines, and with effects as prompt 
and agreeable to those in charge as a 
Tabernacle gathering. Miss Jean La- 
mont, one of the workers of the Sun- 
day campaign, conducted a bible rally 
in the Baptist church with a congre- 
gation more than half filling the audi- 
torium. Many of those present were 
young people. Miss Lamont was in- 
troduced by Rey. A. G. Warner after 
a brief song service which included 
the favorite Tabernacle numbers. 
Using a chart she illustrated her talk 
on the desirability of Bible reading, 
then with a map hefore her sketched 
the wanderings of the descendants of 
Abraham, dwelling particularly upon 
the aimless rambling in the wilder- 
ness. From this period she drew her 
lesson which she applied to the lives 
of Christians of today. With consid- 
erable fervor she pictured the joys of 
the Christian who was willing to sac- 
rifice everything which stood in the 
way of his complete redemption. “It’s 
all yours if you'll pay the cost,” she 
said. “You will be able to wake in 
the morning and say, ‘Good Morning, 
Jesus,’ so close will He be to you 
then.” 
The strength of Miss Lamont’s 
appeal to her hearers needed no saw- 
dust trail nor the created atmosphere 
of the Tabernacle to bring about the 
results desired, for when she asked 
for a declaraction of “reconsecration” 
many in the congregation moved for- 
ward to take her hand. 
A number of members of the con- 
gregation of the Beverly Farms Bap- 
tist church were in attendance at the 
meeting accompanied by their pastor, 
Rev. Clarence Strong Pond.

Early risers have just cause to com- 
plain of the street lights in Manches- 
ter, said one of the “early birds,” the 
other morning. Manchester prides 
itself on its up-to-date street lighting 
system, but in just one detail the sys- 
tem is not giving the best service, and 
that is, as regards the hour of shut- 
ting down in the morning. There is 
no reason why the lights cannot be 
left on until daylight, instead of be- 
ing shut off just 15 or 20 minutes be- 
fore that time. Especially is this true 
on stormy mornings. People who 
lave occasion to catch the early train 
mornings have to move about as besr 
they can in the dark. Why not leave 
the lights on just a little wee bit long- 
er?

New York state has passed a-law 
which provides what is_ practically 
compulsory military training in pub- 
lic schools. The law has the guise of 
« compulsory physical training  stat- 
ute, but in effect it will provide the 
discipline of military training to the 
greater proportion of the boys of 
school age. Massachusetts will even- 
tually come to adopt a similar law or 
a general Federal statute will force a 
like measure upon her. In any event 
we shall probably see before many 
years some sort of physical—or mili- 
tary—training, which will be compul- 
sory, in vogue in our schools. New 
York state towns are building new 
high schools in many cases where 
their buildings do not measure up to 
the requirements of the new laws and 
they are giving space to a large 
enough gymnasium to accommodate 
the male student body at marching 
tactics. Sooner or later Manchester 
will take up the question of building

a new high school and when it comes 
consideration should be given the 
possibility of a compulsory military 
or physical training law, and ample 
gymnasium facilities provided. If 
Manchester wants to take the lead in 
providing military training for its 
boys it has an excellent opportunity. 
When the new. Horticultral society 
hall is completed, at least temporary 
floor space would be available. And 
the high school principal, Mr. Savory, 
is a ‘“Plattsburger.”

Printers and publishers were hav- 
ing their troubles with the high cost 
of paper a little over 100 years ago, 
as they are today, and due to the 
same cause—war. At the conclusion 
of the war between England and 
France in 1802, when the Treaty of 
London was signed, “the next thing 
to take up the attention of Parlia- 
ment,” says Emerson in his “History 
of the Nineteenth Century,” “was the 
petition of the British printers and 
booksellers asking for a release from 
the heavy duties on paper. In their 
petition they recited that by the addi- 
tional duties levied on paper ‘the 
progress of literature and the encour- 
agement of genius had been equally 
fettered,’ ” .
