Brethren and friends of this Christian city: In speaking to you of the spiritual life of the modern city, I have spoken out of an impulse, not yet spent, from the spiritual life of your own city. Coming here at the opening of my ministry, a learner rather than a teacher of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, I came to see, as I then believed, the things of the spirit in this community. Looking back over a score of years, I am confident that I was not deceived. What things I was then taught by experience to recognize as belonging to the spiritual life of a city, these same things I have learned to recognize elsewhere with a clearer vision and with a larger faith. Our churches are not separate from the workshop, the office, the school, the college. The men with whom we worship are the very men with whom we walk the street, at whose side we work, with whom we lay the plans of our business enterprises, with whom we study in our search after knowledge and truth.
Let us not rule God out of any part of his world. Why should not He make His hab- itation wherever men build their homes and do their work, and fight their battles. What has religion to fear from the modern city, except it be some kind of faint-heartedness or doubt or disloyalty on the part of His church.
I congratulate you upon the assurances, the guarantees, you have for Christian service and Christian citizenship in this city. The record of the past as you have told it in your churches is an honorable record. But Manchester is still in the formative state. The fifty years which are past have not so determined its spiritual life that it may not be broadened and deepened in every part. Open your minds and hearts yet more and more, I pray you, to the spiritual capacity of your city, so that its material supremacy, while thereby ennobled and ensured, may yet be overshadowed by the power of the city for righteousness.
Following the address, Rev. T. Eaton Clapp, D. D., offered a short prayer, and the audience then arose and sang "America," the hymn being announced by Rev. Henry E. Cooke. At the close, benediction was pronounced by Rev. T. M. Davies.
The pulpit used upon the stage had belonged in the Free Baptist church for over fifty years.
HON. WILLIAM C. CLARKE, MAYOR. CHAIRMAN OF GENERAL COMMITTEE.
CIVIC AND MILITARY PARADE. MONDAY, SEPT. 7.
Monday, the second day of the celebration, was an ideal one for the grand parade of civic and military organizations. After the heavy rains of the day before, the sun shone forth in all its glory, the warm September rays quickly drying the streets and the folds of the flags and bunting which bedecked every house and building along the route, and in all sections of the city. The procession was the largest and most imposing that was ever seen in New Hampshire. It comprised six thousand men, twenty-five bands, and fifteen drum corps, and was one hour and a quarter in passing a given point. Under the efficient direction of Chief Marshal Henry B. Fairbanks and Chief of Staff S. S. Piper, the great procession was handled with marvelous precision, and started promptly at the time set-11 o'clock. The streets were thronged with people, it being estimated that at least fifty thousand visitors were in the city. The police arrangements were perfect, and not a single accident occurred to mar the festivities of the day.
Early in the day the guests of the city gathered at city hall, where they were officially received by His Honor Mayor Clarke and Hon. P. C. Cheney, chairman, members of the reception committee, and city government officials. The guests included all living ex-mayors of the city, every one being present. Through the generosity of citizens, elegant private carriages were tendered for use of guests in the procession. A lunch was served the guests at city hall.
The entire brigade of New Hampshire National Guard was given a lunch on arrival, the companies reporting immediately at the handsome new freight station of the Boston & Maine Railroad, kindly tendered for the occasion by President Lucius Tuttle.
The parade passed over the following route: From Central street up Elm to Webster, Webster to Chestnut, Chestnut to Appleton, Appleton to Elm, Elm to Hanover, Hanover to Union, Union to Lowell, Lowell to Pine, Pine (review stand on Tremont square) to Bridge, Bridge to Beech, Beech to Merrimack, Merrimack to Elm.
The procession was reviewed at the grand stand by Governor Busiel and staff, the city government officials and guests. The old residents also occupied seats upon the stand.
A portion of the line also proceeded through West Merrimack street to Canal, Canal to Bridge, Bridge to Amory, Amory to Main, Main to School, School to Second, Second to Walker, Walker to Main, Main to Amory, Amory to Bridge.
