All of which we ask in the name and grace of Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen. The company then repaired to its site, and after depositing the box in the concrete base the stone was placed in position by the President, assisted by workman Kelley. Symbolical of the varied talents which are brought into the work of the Society, the mortar used in its setting was of a composite character. Water having been taken from the city supply, the reservoir on College hill, Mystic lake and Spot pond, was mixed with salt water from the river and the soft rain water that fell on the previous evening. This was used in tempering, and finally poured upon the stone by our Secretary, who also provided the beautiful wreath of salvia and bouquet of wild flowers that lay upon it. The President applied the plumb and level, and finding it correct, with a hammer struck three blows, declaring it well, truly and safely laid, adding, May the Giver of all good The heads that plan endue with

hich we trust the housewarming will be the finish within this year 1916. The greetings of the city were briefly and ably spoken by His Honor, Mayor Haines. Former Presidents Will C. Eddy and Henry Edwards Scott gave expression of their satisfaction that at last the Society was to have an attractive and convenient home. Their remarks were followed by the poem written for the occasion by a member (who modestly wished his name withheld), and read by Miss Alice E. Curtis. Beside the banks of Mystic stream, The scene of Winthrop's toil and dream; And Cradock's pride in power of State, And Royall's house of beauty great; A home of modern day we raise With grateful thought of earlier days. Could Winthrop stand upon this spot Well might he say ‘I know it not,’ And Royall from the stately home, Whose acres broad he loved to roam, Would gaze with a bewildered look, Back to the mansion he forsook. And are we in Old Medford still, Woods, streams and pastures, vale and hill All changed in fo

e. Impress upon our minds the truth. The boast of heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth, e'er gave, Await alike the inevitable hour. The paths of glory lead but to the grave. May Thy blessing rest upon the city of Medford and its inhabitants. Bless the chief executive the mayor, and those who hold offices of trust. May each use his office for the welfare of the municipality and feel that trust is of God for the welfare of the people. Bless the commonwealth of Massachusetts, the governor of the state. Bless and endue with wisdom the legislators and administrators of law. May righteous laws and sound discretion preserve us from calamity. Help us to learn that Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord and blessed is the nation that maketh God their trust. Hear us, O God, our Maker. Pardon our sins, bring us at last unto Thyself. All of which we ask in the name and grace of Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen. The company then repaired to

And are we in Old Medford still, Woods, streams and pastures, vale and hill All changed in form by modern hand? Our forebears could not know this land. We miss the forms by Nature lent, We bow to change by centuries sent.

Medford Granite, Medford Red Gravel, wild flowers and sumac leaves from lot. Card of Inspector of Buildings. Some merriment was indulged in as those typical of Old Medford were named. The stone was donated by the West Medford Real Estate Trust, which purchased the grounds and mansion erected by Hon. Peter C. Brooks in the years 1802-6. This is now gone, and the stone is that of the front entrance porch and carriage drive, and now, after a century's use, is of historic interest, and bears the incised date of its new use, 1916, on its circular front. Prayer was next offered by Rev. Dr. Frederick A. Leitch of Trinity Church (Methodist Episcopal) O God our help in ages past Our hope for years to come Our shelter from the stormy blast And our eternal home. As needy as any that have passe
