Mr. Baker was a type of man, un- 
happily few in number. always pleas- 
ant and cheerful, a consistent Chris- 
tian, ever looking for an opportunity 
to be of service to others. The Bapt- 
ist church loses one of its staunchest 
pillars. He was in everything and 
not a meeting was held but he was 
there and did his part. Besides be-

treasurer of the church for a number

MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
George W. Coleman of Boston, 
director of the famous Ford Hail 
meetings and chairman of the Boston 
City Council, one of the best known 
nien in the state and popular as a 
speaker, gave an interesting and 
most inspiring talk before the Man- 
chester Brotherhood at its opening 
meeting Monday evening. . 
Previous to the address a commit- 
tee composed of Hollis Roberts, Chas. 
W. Sawyer and Levi A. Dunn was 
appointed to bring in a list of officers 
at the next meeting, to be held in 
October. Following the address, a 
collation was served. There were 86 
Present, . 
Mr. Coleman’s talk dealt for the 
most part with the meetings at Ford 
Hall and the wonderful good being 
done through them, in bringing to- 
gether on a common level thousands 
of men and women of all national- 
ities, all creeds and all make-ups. If 
he were to use a text, he said} ne 
would use the little poem which lie 
read, the point of which was —‘On 
him that threw the cigarette, not hn: 
that lay the powder there,” and its 
application to everyday life—spiritual 
dynamite, with lots of its laying 
c1ound loose just waiting for some. 
ene to throw a flame on it. 
This is something to think about, 
said the speaker,—more than half of 
the people of this great country of 
ours prefer to remain outside the 
church. Another tremendously sig- 
rificant fact is—one-tenth of the peu- 
ple of the country own nine-tenths of 
all its wealth, and nine-tenths of the 
people own only one-tenth of the 
country’s vast wealth. With a mil 
lion people coming into this country 
from Hunn every year, there’ is a 
tremendous economic and social prob- 
lem to think over. 
The need of a great melting pot 
where all these people can be brought 
together and fused in feelings and 
spirit, is needed, if our democracy : 
to endure, He closed his talk ane 
a little poem entitled “The Little Girl 
atid Her Pussy, Catis
