Dear Advertiser : \
As Boston grows it leaves far be
hind the old, first buildings of the
eity and spreads itself out into in
numerable suburbs and parks. In
one pf these new partS;.iof the city
several streets converge and' form
Copley Square, -named tor one of the
city's great -sons}-. 1 John - Singleton
Copley, the artist.
Several buildings bfUhterest sur
round this square and form a sort of
court The :Curry School of; Expres
sion is 4at-one 'corn er. Acr?ss-from
that is the Public Library, and a little
distance farther is the New Old South
Church. On the other side of the
Square is the beautiful Copley Plaza
Hotel, which was recently honored by
having President and Mrs. Wilson as
ns* guests.
-Perhaps the most interesting build
ing of1 all. is .the old Trinity
church, once famous for its great
pastor, Phillips Brooks. Facing the,
street th?re is a beautiful memorial
to him' containing his statue, below
which are inscribed the words,
"Phillips Brooks, Preacher of the
Word ?of God, Lover of Mankind.: This
monument is erected by his fellow
citizens." I had the pleasure of at
tending- service in this church not
long ago,! and there is no church in'
which I felt more at home. Whether
it was the influence of the great^
Phillips Brooks still living in the
hearts of his congregation, or wheth- 1
er it was the gracious and kindly
manner of the present pastor, I do ;
not know. For churches, like people,
seem to have personalities, some draw ,
ydu instinctively td them and others^
are only waiting for you if you care
to seek them ?ut
The interior is well suited to; have
had its walls echo to such great s?r
- ?ftulKns Rrnoks must ha,ve

/ In the churches there are often
seen three flags; the State flag which j
is a white ground with an Indian ?nd?j
a pine tree ns symbols of the State;!
the United States flag and a service'!
flag-one representing the State, an- j
other thc nation, and thc service flag, '
the world. This particular service '
flag at Trinity-church contained one
hundred and sixty-one stars includ
ing three gold ones. Though they say
that the'Northerner'loses'his' State:
sonsciousness in that larder conscious I
ness of the natidn! he exceeds South- j
erners in one sense, in State recog
nition, [for we rarely display the flag
Q?- the State! of Sontti Carolina any
where.4
What a pleasure to know that:
whatever church you choose totiat- j
tend, you may be certain that the.ar-:
chitecture and the music praise God j
with their harmony and melody;; as
truly as does the sermon itself

Miss Cleo Attaway at Harmony
Sunday morning was a beautiful
time for the presentation of the W.
C T. U. work at Harmony. We arriv
ed at this church just while the Sun- j
day School was in session and had the j
pleasure of hearing Prof. Long in the j
midst of teaching the Bible class. It
was very interesting to be present
and hear the questions of importance
as brought out by the discussions of
an. intelligent class.
When the Sunday School assembled
the whole church was nearly filled
with people and when the church ser
vice began the same number were
present Everybody who came at all,
came to Sunday School.
When the Sunday School was dis
missed, it was announced that the W.
C. T. U. would take charge of the
program, and Mr. L. G. Watson pre
sided, over the meeting, making a
very interesting allusion to the heroic
work of the women of the W. C. T.
U.,.whose efforts, he said,, would al
ways be appreciated and never for
gotten.
Mr. Watson introduced Miss Atta
way, whom he said he had known all
his life, who spoke on the history of
th? prohibition cause, _ and made an
appeal for the Jubilee Fund, amount

'The" singing was- very bright atfd
spirited and added inspiration to the
meeting.
Mr. and'Mrs.' J. L. Mims were pre

After the meeting was .dismissed,
a meeting of the local -.inion .was calW
