A Family Of Ministers

Rev. T. F. Briggs who has done pas toral service in Connecticut for about twelve years, recently preached the centennial anniversary discourse ot the First Baptist church in Athol, Mass. MT. Briggs grandfather, Rev Isaac Briggs, was the first pastor of this church for thirteen years. It is somewhat remarkable that MT. Briggs had so many clerical relations in and near Athol. His maternal grandfather, Rev. Elisha Andrews, was pastor for eighteen years of the Baptist charch in Templeton, few miles east of Athol. His uncle, Rev. Erastas Andrews, was pastor twenty years of the North Sunderland Baptist church, a few miles west of Athol. Mr. Andrews was father of Governor Andrews of Connecticut, and: Rev. k. Benjamin Andrews, D. D., LL. D., for mer president of Brown University. His father, Deacon Isaac Briggs, IT,, who was also a licensed preacher, re- sided ia Athol from boyhood till his marriage to Betsey Andrews, daughter of Rev. Elisha Andrews. He then re- moved to Pelham, a little west of Athol where he organized one of the first Sunday schools in the United States. Mir. T. P. Briggs was in his early ministry pastor of the Petersham Baptist church the town joining Athol and also pastor of the Troy and Ches- ham \. II. churches, few miles from Athol.
 Just over the line north of Athol, in HinsdaIe, N, H. MT. Briggs grand- father Andrews, two uncles and his brother. were all pastors of the Baptist church in that town, and MT. Briggs himself was also baptized and licensed to preach by this same church. In all the annals of christendom it is doubt ful if one family ever furnished so many pastors of one church.
 While living in Cambridge, Mass. to give his children book and business education. MT. Briggs supplied fif- teen Baptist churches within the linn it's of Boston, five in Cambridge, and so on throughout New England. Mir. Briggs has written two books on the two hardest books in the Bible to ex- plain, viz.: Solomon's Song and Rev elation, receiving many common da- tions from clergymen and the press. MT. Briggs and wife expect to visit friends in Connecticut soon.

In His Strength

Sampson, mighty man was he, His strength to men mystery. Twas only when his locks were long That he became so very strong When Heavens power filled his
 frame
 He put his enemies to shame. But when his long grown locks were
 shorn
 Weak as other men he stood forlorn. In him we see the church today, With Gods great power she holds
 sway.
 Mightier far than Satan's power, Causing her strongest foes to cower And flee In fear and haste away, Leaving us victors in the fray. Before this power the souls of men Yield to the Savior's righteous reign. But when we grieve our faithful
 friend,
 Of our great strength we find an end. Weak and discouraged we retreat Before our foes with faltering feet. o let us in Gods strength abide, And then, whatever may betide, A glorious victory over sin, Through Christ at last we're sure to
 win.
 Rev Thomas Pearl Briggs. Boston, May, 1913.
