Saugus Senior Center ♫ BEAUTIFUL DREAMER AWAKEN TO ME ♫ By Dick Barry We all have a tendency to fantasize at one time or another and what better time to have happy thoughts than the early days of Spring. Many words have been written about the arrival of Spring. Among the most memorable are from a Song of Solomon: “For lo the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, the flower of year on the earth, the time of the singing of birds has come and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land.” Blooming early or late flowers almost are welcome in our lives. They bring meaning with their beauty and fragrance. Flowers also serve as symbols. Veterans sell fabric poppies in memory of those who gave their lives for their country. The idea of using them was inspired by a famous line from a poem relating to a location in Holland where many lives were lost during World War One. “In Flanders Fields, the poppies grow.” Now that Spring is here the many beautiful trees of Saugus are clothed in new green leaves. The March winds have blown down dead limbs so that there shapely beauty is unmarred. Sugar maples at Breakheart have oozed their precious sap. We welcome new foliage that provides cool shade in summer. Trees are truly one of the treasurers of our town a heritage from nature and the former wisdom of genealogy. We are very fortunate that our town has so many qualified volunteers who tend to our tree farm and keep a close eye on our tree population. I personally feel quite honored that when I retired from the Board of Selectmen, trees were planted in my name outside the Town Hall and in front of the Library. TREES By Joyce Kilmer I think that I will never see A poem as lovely as a tree A tree on whose bosom snow her lies And has intentionally leaved with rain Poems are made by fools like me But only God can make a tree. WHAT IS PATRIOT’S DAY? To most Massachusetts residents—and long distance running enthusiasts—the third Monday in April is “Marathon Monday.” The Boston Marathon has shared the limelight in the Bay State with another celebration for the last 120 years: Patriots’ Day. So what is Patriots’ Day, and what does it have to do with the marathon? For the answer, let’s travel back to the American Revolution. On April 19, 1775, the Battles of Lexington and Concord kicked off the colonists’ fight for independence from Great Britain. Just two months after Parliament declared Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion, the brave residents of the colony took up arms and went to battle for independence—eventually leading to the creation of the United States of America. In 1894, Massachusetts Governor Frederic T. Greenhalge was looking to replace Fast Day (a then-rarely followed day of fasting and prayer that had been around since the 17th century) in the state calendar without causing his constituents to lose a day of work. Greenhalge found inspiration in the state’s courageous battle for freedom from British rule, renaming the holiday Patriots’ Day and moving it to April 19. The new celebration would not only commemorate the battles that officially marked the American Revolution, but also the anniversary of the Baltimore riot of 1861—commonly known as the first bloodshed of the American Civil War. Three birds, one stone. In 1897, inspired by the revival of the marathon race in the previous year’s summer Olympic games in Athens, the Boston Marathon was added as part of the celebration of Patriots’ Day. It became a much-revered April 19 tradition, almost more so than the original holiday. The Boston Red Sox have even become part of Patriots’ Day, playing a game at Fenway Park at 11:05 a.m., allowing fans to catch the end of the race (a tradition that started in 1959). In 1969, the entire celebration was shifted to the third Monday in April to create a three-day weekend.

They target people who might be wishing to make a tax-free donation toward a specific cause. They pose as a charity that might interest you, the taxpayer. If you get a phone call or email asking for money or other financial information, don’t give it to them. Instead look up the charity they represent to see if it is credible. You can use online resources such as the IRS tax exempt organization search or Charity Navigator. Be alert! SALEM 5 – EVERY 2ND WEDNESDAY 9:30- 11:00 EASTERN BANK – EVERY 3RD WEDNESDAY 10:00-11:00 .

  • Conversion and Revolution in New England Throughout the Fall Of
    Introduction: Conversion and Revolution in New England Throughout the Fall of 1765, Stephen Johnson, the pastor of the church in Lyme, Connecticut, excoriated Britain’s Parliament for the Stamp Act and recent trade regulations. Such “evils” imposed on “two millions of free people,” he warned in a series of newspaper editorials, threatened to “destroy the good affections and confidence” between Parliament, King, and America.1 In December, he preached a fast-day sermon (an occasion called by the colony for corporate lamentation) that elucidated the meaning of disrupted “affections.” The “present crisis,” he admitted, was “perplexing and exercising” because it compelled American colonists to make a choice between loyalty to Britain and their “great, provincial, continental, or national purposes.” He put it boldly: “if there be left to the colonies but this single, this dreadful alternative,--slavery or independency,--they will not want time to deliberate which to choose.” Johnson reiterated the need for moral deliberation. As he argued in his newspaper pieces, the “liberty of free inquiry is one of the first and most fundamental [liberties] of a free people.” New Englanders ought to be prepared to determine their political allegiances. Johnson repeated his provocation as a simple question: “what shall we do?”2 This question implied more than the possibility of resistance to parliamentary regulation. It hinted at independence from the British empire. Johnson asked his parishioners, the people of Connecticut, and all Americans to imagine a complete transformation of political loyalties, a renunciation of their status as subjects of the English monarchy. He contended that they had the moral capacity to change their allegiances.

  • Declension in a Bible Commonwealth
    Declension in a Bible Commonwealth BY PERRY MILLER I. VEN a Puritan society, even a people chosen of God, if E they undertake to settle a wilderness, will meet with hardship and sometimes with disaster. Leaders will die, since men cannot live forever; winds and earthquakes strike equally the chosen and the unchosen; caterpillars will con- sume the grain of the righteous unless God contrive a very exceptional providence to divert them, while saints no less than other men must run the hazard of pestilence, drought, the measles, or shipwreck. When such afiüictions overtake a community of the unregenerate, they know not what to do. They put the blame upon second causes or upon blind chance; they have no way to overcome the evil and must either endure or perish. But a holy commonwealth of Puri- tan saints is fully equipped with a method for meeting emergency. At the first fiick of the lash, the whole body politic assembles for a ceremony of public humiliation and communal repentance, wherein the people take the responsi- bility for the disaster upon themselves, asserting that the fault is entirely theirs and that God has punished them justly and necessarily for their sins. Thereupon the way for ac- complishing their relief becomes obvious : they must resolve to mend their ways and beseech the Lord to look with favor upon their reformation. Whole days should be officially set apart for these observances, called in New England "days of humiliation" or "fast days," to be observed not with complete fasting—^that extremity was Popish superstition— 38 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, but with abstinence from all but the essentials of life, even, according to one instruction, from the pleasures of marriage.

To understand the part played by the ministers one must first forget the populous, industrial state of the twentieth century with its large cities, good roads, auto- mobiles, radios, and daily press, and turn back one hundred and sixty years to a Connecticut of about seventy towns and villages ranging in population from two or three hundred to five, six, or seven thousand, a large number having less than fifteen hundred inhabitants. Its people were for the most part farmers, its roads were poor, books were hard to obtain, and newspapers were small and published weekly in three or four towns only.
