EVIDENTLY LOTS OF HISTORY

John w. Oliver, director Of the his
torical commission, went back 10 his
rural home town once after n pro
longed absence during which he had
been wrestling with the problem of
getting an education and laying The
foundation for his chosen future work.
One of his old-time farmer friends,
interested and inquisltiye, with view
to learning what the boy had been
doing for himself, said:

OLD NORTH CHURCH IN BOSTON
TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
From It's steeple Was displayed Sig.
nal Which Started Paul Revere on
His Celebrated Ride.

Everyone has heard II Paul Re
yere's ride and how the two lanterns
were hung in the steeple Of the old
North church in Boston. But what
every cne does not understand and
know is that she North church Is an
old foundation. that it was always an
American" rather than royallst or
government place Of worship in Colo
NAL days, and that December 81, last
year, 1t celebrated its two hundre1th
anniversary. Bishop Lawrence spoke
ana dedicated a memorial Of good will
from Boston, Lincolnshire.
The history Of Christ church is
History Of much Of New England. Its
genesia seems to have been that the
Kings chapel by 1T22 was not large
enough, that Cops Hill In those days
was virtually cut Oft from the rest Of
Boston. and was reached by bridge
where Ha ever and Blackstone streets
now inierS and that divers persons
prepared a ~ scrlpilon to build q new
church Rev amuel Myles, the first
rector Of KineN chapel, caused his
clerk 10 give nN ce Of a meeting TO
his congregation, at which this resO-
luton was passed
Subscribed Money.
"Laus Dec. Boston. New England.
The second day Of September, 1922
Al the request Of several gentlemen
who had purchased a piece of ground
at the north end of Boston TO build u
church on, the Reverend MIR Samuel
MyIes ordered his clerk to give notice
to his congregation. That all those
who were willing to contribute toward
erecting another church at the north
end Of Boston were desired to meet
at Kings chapel the Wednesday fol-
lowing." etc.
A committee composed of Messrs.
Barnes. Graves, Cradock. Bl0unt, Glib
bons, Selbey and Monk raised E2,1S4
tabout $10900l. The rector laid the
cornerstone April 10, 1923, and De
cember 20 Dr. Timothy Cutler held a.
vine service.
Boston, in 1722, was nearly a weeks
journey from New York and Philadel-
phia. 1t was not until 1T72 that line
Of stage coaches was established be-
tween Boston and New York and one
did not have TO travel far to find In
dams In the streets you saw the
scarlet coats of the kings officers and
heard a speech that differed little from
that of Bristol or London. Negroes
were held In slavery. constant war
fare of an unofficial sort was waged
with the French and Indians. and
above all the power of the Congrega-
tional church was great. To be sure,
the theocracy was losing much of its
hold. but it was still intrenched in the
convictions of Boston's inhabitants.
The Rector's Conversion.
But convictions were modified. an
increasing commerce brought new ele..
ments to the population, and the rep
resentatives Of the royal government
were almost always of the Church of
England. Curiously enough tile first
rector of the Christ church in his Der.
son Illustrated the change that wns
taking place. Timothy Cutler was
borr, In Charlestown in 1888. gradu-
nted at Harvard in 1901 and in ITO
was admitted to the Congregational
ministry at Stanford. Conn. In nine
years he had been made rector or
president Of Yale college. In three
years more he had expressed his con

viction that It was his duty to be ad-
mitted to the Church of England's
communion and "his conversion shook
New England like an earthquake" So
Cutler left Yale and journeyed back
into Massachusetts, where at Christ
church, on Salem street in the North
end, he was to labor many years. His
chair that he used at Yale is In the
vestry and his portrait is not far of.

Came" said, we're fond
Of the very PARKWAY, high mountains"
The Golden Eagle and the Crowned
Eagle were in the 200. and they were
feeling n little hurt because every one
came and stood before the Bald Eagles
and asked many questions about them.
Then, too. the people would say
Those are the Bald Eagles. They're
the American Bird Of Freedom fam
ly."
And the Golden Eagle would say:
'"How many times do I have to hear
thatf I certainly don't have TO be
told It any more. Ard 1t seems a pity
people have to be told it so often.
There is a sign up In front Of their 200
home next to us saying that they are
of the family of the American Bird of
Freedom, or at least think I've been
told that there is that sign.
81 am quite sure of that, and ] know
anyway that there is sign saying
that they're Bald Eagles. People know
that Bald Eagles are the American
Birds Of Freedom"
perhaps there are some who don't
know It," said the Crowned Eagle on
one of these occasions.
Perhaps" said the Golden Eagle,
though ! doubt it,
Maybe they like TO air their knowl-
edge said the Crowned Eagle.
81 suppose they do" said the Golden
Eagle. Dear me, It seems pity. And
1t seems as though people were always
airing their knowledge. They never
do up their knowledge in camphor
balls and newspapers as I've heard
they did with their winter clothes
"Oh. no. they air their knowledge
whenever they get chance, and quite
often when there isn't even real
chance. ] suppose 1t Is a good thing
in way, for then people get to know
more and more by this way of handing
around information.
But It becomes tiresome when one
has to listen again and agaln TO the
same thing as we have TO do.
''Now don't get half a chance to
tell about myself. I, too, am an Amer
lean Eagle. OF course there are rela-
tives of mine flying about Europe and
Asia, but still there are great many
