y in the Redeemer's everlasting kingdom. The missing portion of this discourse is probably the sermon of Cooke to the Minute Company, presented in Smith's Address, 1864, pp. 7-11. This discourse was delivered under excitement which soon became a reality on a day never to be forgotten in the annals of the Precinct, and ever memns, particularly within the limits of this Precinct. The Rev. Samuel Abbot Smith, in his work entitled West Cambridge on the Nineteenth of April, 1775 (Boston, 1864), pp. 66, gives an extended account of the part the place took in the battle, and preserves many traditions of the doings of the inhabitants. His sources of inforwas formed previously to April 6, 1775, when Mr. Cooke, the minister of the Precinct, had preached a sermon to them—see previous pages 50, 51, and Smith's Address (1864), pp. 7-11.

tanding at the corner of Main and Pleasant Streets, and the flag donated by Benjamin Poland and others. The name of West Cambridge was changed to Arlington. The name of Arlington, which was now given to the town, had no previous historical significance in the place. It is a purely distinctive appellation, and was deemed a good post-office designation, unlikely to be confounded with the various adjacent localities in Cambridge. The lamented Rev. S. A. Smith, in his published address in 1864, already alluded to, thus protested against a change of name: I hope the name of the town will never be changed. It would be like giving up our birthright. As the Second Precinct of Cambridge, we hold an honorable place in history; who would alienate that inheritance? Other names may be more euphonious, but as soon should the man give up his surname, consecrated by the good acts, and glorified by the patriotism of pious and brave ancestors, as we give up that good old name of Cambridge

ed soldiers of England, the careful eye of Washington calmly surveying the whole horizon, selected your hills as the breast-work behind which he was to retrieve the day. The hills still stand firm and everlasting as when he looked upon them, but smiling now with fertility and peace. The Welsh Mountains near Cambridge, and the rear of the lines at Roxbury, were designated for that purpose. Marshall's Washington, vol.
