crowds made their way to Hoag Lake and Lake Pearl and the trolley cars were packed during the day and evening. The fine attractions at both the resorts proved popular with the great crowds and both managements are entitled to commenda- tion for the good entertainments pro- vided

There was one sporting event at Indian Rock park in the morning. This was a lively and exciting game of ball between Our Boys and the Victors, which resulted in favor of Our Boys, 12 to 11, after a contest that was in doubt as to the out- come notil the last man was ont in the ninth. The batteries were Feeley aud Boucher for Our Boys and McKenna and Morrell for the Victors. This was the eleventh straight victory for Our Boys. In the evening a large audience came to hear the puslor's contrast of spiritual conditions between Northfield and Onset. He said: Nature bas done much for both these places. Northfield is most beanti- fully located among the hills, and the Connecticut river winds Its way through them, Onset is also a charming place, with its hills, bay and Islands, Socially, very delightful people are to be met at each place. There are also ample oppor- tunities for recreation. It seemed siugn- lar that two such resorts, to which thou- sauds go every year, should not as yet Reunion of the Adams Family. Just two hundred years ago John Adams, the first ancestor of the family of James F. Adams of this place, settled in this country. He came over from Critten- den, in Devonshire, England, at the age of fifteen, and settled in South Franklin, where in time he built for himself a home. The two hundredth anniversary of this event was fittiugly celebrated last Thursday, when a renmion of the descend. ants of the first Adams was held at the spacious homes ou lhe farms of Mr and Mrs. James F. and Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Adams, which adjoin the summit of Franklin bill. During the day ahout 75 guests were entertained, most of whum were relatives. At 1 o'clock iu the after- noon a sumptuous collation was served have the advantage of the electric cars. The marked contrast between these two places is evident along spiritual lines. Both use the term spiritual, but in vastly different seuses. Ouset is one of the great vacation centres for Spiritualists. In con- trastiug these two places one notes first of all that Northfield is a place of Bibles, while Onset is not, One stray evangelist found his way to Ouset and carried his Bible with him. ft was the only Bible we saw in public. Nor was the Bible read in public auywhere that we could learn. fu Northfield Bibles are visible every- where-in meetings, on the streets, in the hotel, at the tables-not for ostenta- tion, but for study. A great portion of the conferences are given to Bible study. The Bible is the greatest book in the | world. That is a comparatively safe afternoon a party of 30 took carriages and went to South Franklin, where they

Northfield is ever recognizing the Christ; Onset does not. There are Christian peo- ple iu Onset who do, but the Spiritual- ists as a body do not. All prayers are offered to the Great Spirit and other

in every service; in the songs, prayers, itt morning prayers in the hotels, tents

and cottages, at meals-everywhere. it

is a Christian conference and Cbrist is re-

membered. A conference for spiritual ends without the recognition of Christ cannot make very great progress. Fur-

ther, Northfield is ever seeking the guid-

tion of otber spirits. All the meetings at Unset are held ostensibly to receive

friends or spirits. These messages in the main pertain to the individual's material welfare. No special efforts are put forth in the interest of man's spiritual welfare here and hereafter. At Northfield the

aim sought in all that is said and done is the deepening of the spiritual life. The air is full of consecration to qualify tbe worker for more efficient service. There is nothing fanatical, but the simple urg- ing of the will to definite decisions for truer living and more faithful service in the church's work. Finally, Northfield seeks primarily the spiritual good of men. Onset would seem to seek primarily their material good. There are mediums, psy- chics, test readers, magnetic healers, clair- voyants, etc., in great uumbers. The ob- jects of all these are healing of body and relieving the mind. There are expressed

messages from chieftain spirits and de- parted friends. There are some excelleut moral teachings and psycological sug- gestions, but no Gospel. There are no preaching services, Sabbatb schools or

prayer meetings. Sunday is given up to hand coucerts aud "circles." At one meeting a leader suggested singing

of the spiritual. There are daily prayer services, Bible readings, sermons, talks to children, conferences ou Christiau work, and every part of the day may be given to obtaining an actual experience

When the population began to gather more into villages and modern ideas as to the proper thing in landscapes began to enlarge, many people wanted the blots on the landscape removed, but the sub- stantial old burghers, with whom a horse sbed and noou house made a part of their material evidence of religions life, scarcely less venerated than the church itself, would not consent to the removal of the material evidences of prosperous church life. The other side, to whom the eternal sacredness of per- ishing materiał did not strongly appeal, argued the question for a time, but with- ont avail; and then the things caught fire on a dark night.

Bernard Quaritch. the celebrated London bibliophile, recently deceased. was the son of a German officer, and was born at Word's, Prussia, in 15 7. When he settled permanently In London, 55 years ago. he accepted hum- ble employment under the late Mr. Bohn, the famous bookseller, with the avowed determination to become in time the first bookseller in Europe. Step by step. by perseverance and un- rem ting tof. he built up a business which made his name and reputation wor 1-wide. Looked at from the point of www of the ordinary bookhuser. however, Mr. Quaritch was really not a bookseller. He did not deal in eur- rent publications, and h's great repu- tation was due. not to the greatness of his sales. hut to the Limited number of "hem and to high. prices.
