AUTUMN REVERIES 
BY D. F. LAMSON 
To infuse life into a moribund or- 
ganization is sometimes almost as 
hopeless as the attempt to hustle the 
East ; it may be as well to let forms 
die when they have outlived their use- 
fulness and give them a decent burial. 
This is the day of gigantic enter- 
prises ; we have hardly ceased to won- 
der at the Cape to Cairo railway, 
before our breath is taken away by 
the project of a railroad to Bagdad. 
Shades of the Kaliphs and the Arabian 
Nights! To think of the roar and 
shriek of the locomotive invading 
those silent lands, and startling the 
centuries from their slumber. 
Curiosity to know evil as well as 
good once resulted disastrously for 
our race ; there are some things that 
it is just as well not to know ; the man 
who does not know the taste of liquor 
will never become a sot. 
When the tide has run out and left 
the flats bare and unsightly, we know 
it will return and fill all the creeks and 
cover all the reaches with fresh life ; 
if the tide is at the ebb now, if every- 
thing stagnates, cheer. up, there will 
soon be a turn, it will come, it will not 
tarry ; as Browning sings, 
“ God is in His heaven, 
All’s well with the world” ; 
only we must beware of fatalism. 
There are revivals and revivals; a 
revival that is much needed is a re- 
vival of righteousness, a revival that 
shall lead people to pay their just 
debts, that shall purify politics, elevate 
the standard of social morality, ener- 
gize the public conscience, and make 
this people a God-fearing people in 
their lives and laws. — 
If literature were paid for in propor- 
tion to its value, great writers would 
be among the richest instead of being, 
as they have often been, among the 
poorest of men; poets would not 
starve for “lack of bread,” nor would 
their only lot be a garret and undying 
fame; literature must be cultivated, 
not for the gain of it, but for the love 
of it. 
MANCHESTER, MASS., SATURDAY, NOV 
Rev. E. HERSEY BREWSTER, Pastor, 
who presided at annual supper and 
roll-call in Manchester 
When the result of an election 
makes for good government, all good 
citizens will rejoice; to have the fair 
fame of a community or a state 
dragged in the mire at the heels of 
demagogues is a sight to make angels 
weep, but it is a sight we must pre- 
pare ourselves for if money is to beall 
potent in politics. 
Not a few good people seem afraid 
of emotion ; but emotion is like steam 
in the boiler, it makes things go ; only 
it needs a strong and wise hand on the 
throttle and a keen eye upon the rail. 
The more emotion we have, if it be 
only of the right kind and under the 
control of a sober judgment, the bet- 
ter ; and this whether it be in business, 
statesmanship, religion, or anything 
else. 
It will be a welcome day for manya 
brave, struggling soul warring with 
the world-rulers of this darkness, when 
the age-long conflict shall be over, and 
in place of shouts of the combatants 
and broken sword and dinted shield, 
shall be waving palms and golden 
crowns and everlasting hallelujahs ; 
it will be a day worth living for, and if 
need be worth dying for.

ROLL-CALL AND SUPPER 
Annual Event at Baptist Church, Wednesday 
Evening, the Occasion of an Interesting 
Gathering. Resolutions Passed on Enforce- 
ment of Liquor Law, the Sale of Tobacco to

modities.” 
The annual supper and roll-call of 
the Baptist Church, Manchester, was 
held in the vestry of the church 
Wednesday evening, and in several 
ways the event was of much interest. 
_ The pastor, Rev. E. Hersey Brewster, 
presided at the roll-call following the 
supper, and after the members had 
answered to their names, the several 
invited guests were called upon for 
remarks. 
A set of resolutions were voted 
unanimously by the church, two of the 
resolutions being as follows : 
‘‘ Resolved: That we respectfully 
call the attention of the Board of 
Selectmen to the violation of the no- 
license law with regard to the sale of
