Tue CHurcHES oF Beverty, Manchester and Wen- 
ham are uniting in the observance of Hospital Sunday on 
October 24. Next Sunday envelopes are to be distributed 
to the parishioners in all the churches These are to be 
returned the following Sunday with a subscription. The 
Hospital receives no financial assistance from city or 
state, and is dependent upon private contributions for 
support. ‘Thanks to the liberality of its friends the hos- 
pital came through the year with a deficit of only $580.40, 
compared to a deficit of $3,155.53 the-previous year, al- 
though there was an increase of twenty per cent in the 
. number of patients treated. The running expenses of the 
tlospital in 1914 was $48,906.11. The paying patients 
contributed only $24,451.81; this left $24,454.30 to be 
raised. The Hospital has some invested funds, but the 
income amounts only to $2,867.75 in the year, leaving 4 
balance of $21,003.66 to be raised. Of this amount ail 
was raised except $580.40. This year the Hospital should 
be assured funds enough to close the year without a de- 
ficit. Over eleven hundred people received treatment 
during the year 1914. Fifty-one of these patients came 
from Manchester, forty-six came from Beverly Farms 
and seventeen from Pride’s Crossing, and seven hundred 
and fifty-four from Beverly. Such a good work is worthy 
of support. Here is a chance to lend a hand. 
Tue Appress by Miss Boardman at the Red Cross 
meeting in Manchester was inspiring and instructive. The 
work of the Red Cross Society has never had the support, 
financially, that such a good work has warranted. The 
cesired endowment should be forth-coming, The unpre- 
cedented drains made by the European war has taxed 
the financial resources of the organization. With work 
to be done in Mexico and the usual exigencies that arise 
from time to time makes it imperative that its funds be 
increased. President Taft has well said “we need an 
ejectric shock to start our generosity.” 
THe NortuH SHore HorricutTurat Society is mak- 
ing progress. Already a parcel of land has been acquired. 
It should not be long before a suitable building is placed 
upon it. The North Shore Horticultural Society has 
won a place for itself in the various interests of the North 
Shore and its work warrants the erection of a suitable 
building for its use. The inclement weather worked 
havoc with their fair during the last season. Such calami- 
ties may be avoided when their new building is dedicated. 
AFTER ALL, there are no pleasures in life that can be 
compared to the joys of consecrated labor. No one can 
draw happiness out of life without having a mission in 
which ta lose himself in keen work. 
Oct. 15, 1915, 
Tue ActIvities oF BULGARIA are somewhat discon- 
certing to the Allies, but her friendship for Germany and 
the strong sympathies of the Greek King as well indicate 
the far reaching preparations that were made for the 
present conflict, Bulgaria has turned her back upon.her 
cid friend Russia and thrown her interests with the Cen- 
tral powers. Bulgaria has evidently been waiting to 
choose a winner and her choice indicates her faith in the 
German cause. The entrance of Bulgaria with so many 
more men will aid that much, but no more. Bulgaria may 
not be such a gain as Germany would welcome. The 
Bulgarian frontier line has been a protection to Germany 
while Bulgaria remained neutral. No troops were re- 
cuired to defend it as the Allies would not enter along 
that line because of Bulgaria’s neutrality and the folly cf 
violating Bulgarian neutrality to make an entrance into 
Germany. Germany desired Bulgaria to remain neutral. 
It would have been an advantage to the Allies if Bulgaria 
had thrown her lot with them, but her help to Germany 
in a positive way is a doubtful matter, The attitude of 
Greece will be watched with supreme interest. The King 
is under the control of Germany, but the Greek people 
are for the Allies. The probability of Greece joining the 
Alhes is still looked for. 
Ex-PresipENT TAFT is a man of large powers and 
strong influence in the affairs of men and his espousal of 
the cause of international peace is encouraging for the 
future. He suggests that an international court be organ- 
ized before which all international problems may be pre- 
sented for decision. The plan is simple and should be 
effective if all the international powers will co-operate. 
The establishment of such a court would not prevent war, 
but it would serve as an effective deterrent. Nations, 
like men, when they have an opportunity for a second 
thought, will often secede from a belligerent attitude. 
Tue Prrsistency with which slides occur in the 
Panama Canal indicates a possible complication in the 
event of a war with a foreign power. The Canal has 
been fortified, but what would hinder an alert foe from 
srearranging for a slide either by bombardment or by 
planting mines surreptitiously, 
piece of property, but its maintenance and protection will 
cause the nation much care. It is worth, however, all the 
difficulties and expense involved. 
Tue Crry or Curcaco last Sunday was dry for the 
first Sabbath in a generation and there was a marked de- 
crease in the criminal acts requiring arrests. The law 
had been a dead letter for years until resurrected by the 
keen Governor. Laws are made to be enforced or re- 
pealed. 
THE PHILADELPHIA PREss recently printed an article 
concerning our townswoman Miss Boardman in which the 
highest compliments are paid. The North Shore has 
known all these good things about Miss Boardman for 
years and is glad that Philadelphia is finding her out. 
Tur Law OF supply and demand is still operating, 
as can be seen in the fluctuations in the price of gasoline. 
The enormous increase in the number of gasoline cars 
has stimulated the use of gas beyond the supply and up 
goes the price. 
WueEN Puttinc, UP your preserves and jellies for 
the winter be sure to lay aside a few jars for the Beverly 
fospital and carry them there on donation day. — 
The Canal is a valuable .
