the earthquake you felt was at El Estor, Guatemala. About 75 miles North of Lago Izabala going north toward Flores. Probably at the longitude of the hot springs at Lake Izabel, but 75 mile up in the hills. It was slightly more than a Richter 5.1 It would have been about a 100 miles West of Jalacte, Toledo.

Sheffield Football Stories
Football Stories is an exhibition and publication created by Dr David Forrest of the University of Sheffield, John Gelder of Eleven Design and photographer Gemma Thorpe.
"Sheffield is home to the world's oldest football club, the world's oldest football derby and the oldest football trophy, many of the game's laws were established in the city, and Arthur Wharton, the world's first black professional footballer, played for Sheffield United. Sheffield is a football city."
The latter is an extract from the intro written by Dr David Forrest in the book Football Stories. Originally an exhibition running for the Festival Of Mind is now available to purchase in publication format, one of which was kindly sent into The Modern Game.
The project documents photo interviews with 7 different subjects spanning all aspects of football in the Sheffield community. It seeks to explore whether the game its losing its soul at the lower levels as money takes over the top. The answer they found was no, football is as much about the pleasures and routine as it ever was. Without giving too much away, we'd highly recommend you look into the project to see more of their conclusion.
The book itself is a large magazine like publication extremely strong in photography, and with flashes of exciting typography and a strong editorial approach which really bridges the connection with high end football and the community. Subjects include women's football, Blades supporters, junior teams and much more. Explore more on the site;

Human rights Australia
Stranded Aussies must be brought home by end of 2020
Amnesty International Australia has today published a report highlighting the stories of some of the 35,000 Australians stranded overseas due to border closures and the Federal Government's cap on returns.
Amnesty has gathered stories from several Australians stranded overseas, desperate but unable to return. Among them is Lynne who has been stranded in the UK since she left to be with her dying mum, who has since passed away.
Her 13-year-old son has Autism Spectrum Disorder and anxiety and her being stuck in Scotland is taking its toll on him. Although she counts herself lucky that she has been able to get accommodation and borrow money from friends, her son needs her home.
Lynne also has major health concerns that were being closely monitored at home that are now going unchecked. She needs to return to Australia as soon as possible.
"Lynne's story is just one of many distressing accounts we've gathered which shows the impact of the government caps on returns," Amnesty International Australia Campaigner, Joel Mackay, said.
"The Prime Minister promised to get the stranded Aussies home by Christmas. This is a promise that looks certain to be broken. The piecemeal approach to bringing people home needs to be supercharged. More quarantine spaces, home quarantine, more repatriation flights: this is what will bring Aussies home."
Amnesty International Australia campaigner Joel Mackay.
"It's a difficult situation for certain, but we have recommended a seven point plan which provides a workable solution to ensure the Australian government can meet its obligations under international law and avoid violating the human rights of these people who are so desperate to return.
The Australian government should:
Support all states and territories to increase the capacity of their existing hotel quarantine programs. This means more hotel rooms so that more people can quarantine.
Adopt a home quarantine program. Where safe to do so, allow returning Australians to quarantine at home for two weeks, with checks from the authorities to ensure compliance.
Use federal quarantine facilities to allow people to isolate.
Significantly raise, or remove, the cap on the amount of Australians who can return home per week.
Work with the airlines to maximise the number of flights coming to Australia, and to prioritise returning Australians safely.
Charter additional repatriation flights, including using RAAF resources if necessary.
Open Melbourne Airport and airports other than Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane to cater for an increased number of returning Australians.

If you need thicker house paint, you can always simply remove lid from the can and leave it open and let some of the solvent evaporate. That is probably your best option if the paint is oil-based; if the paint is latex, you can buy an additive that does the job more quickly. A suitable thickening product increases the paint viscosity without affecting other properties of the paint, including adhesion and color. Corn starch and flour may work, but avoid them; they promote mold growth. A better choice is hydroxyethylcellulose, which is a common ingredient in certain cosmetics.
Derived from the cellulose in wood, HEC is a white powder that is used for thickening hand creams, hair conditioners and lotions. It readily dissolves in hot and cold water to create a slightly acidic solution that feels smooth to the skin -- although you probably don't care about how it feels when you're thickening paint. Because of its usefulness in the cosmetic industry, you might have more luck finding HEC powder in a cosmetics store than a paint store. You can also buy HEC products specifically designed for thickening paint.
The main consideration when mixing HEC with latex paint is that adding the powder to the paint too quickly results in lumps. You can avoid this by premixing the HEC with water to create a gel and adding the gel to the paint. This method produces a stock solution of gel that you can use to thicken several gallons of paint.
Pour a measured quantity of water into a bucket or -- preferably -- an electric mixer. You may choose to mix a quart or a gallon of thickener, depending on much paint you have.
Start the mixer; if you don't have a mixer, begin stirring the water with a stir stick or a hand-held rotary mixer. You'll probably find it helpful to have a second person to help.
Sift the HEC powder into the water as you continue stirring. The viscosity of the water will change as you add the powder; stop when the mixture becomes thick and gel-like.
Add a preservative to the mixture to prevent deterioration if you plan to store it for future use. A good candidate is sodium benzoate, a food and cosmetic preservative. You don't need much -- 0.1 to 1 percent is sufficient. If you have a quart of thickening agent, a teaspoon of sodium benzoate is all you need.
Add the thickening agent to the paint, stirring as you do, until the paint is thick enough for your purposes.

Just watching that river flow
Milton's Nute Chapel Ministers of 1890-21
By Muriel Bristol | September 26, 2019
The Nute Chapel was often described as a "union" church, which is to say it functioned as a non-denominational church or, as our sources more charmingly put it, as an "undenominational" church. Various sources identified it as the Nute Chapel, Nute's Chapel, Nute Memorial Chapel, Nute Ridge Chapel, Nute Bible Chapel, Nute Ridge Bible Chapel, Union Nute Chapel, or even as the West Milton church.
The Milton historical sketch in the Mitchell-Cony directory of 1907 informs us that Rev. William A. Bacon was the first pastor of the Nute Chapel, and that he remained there for "several years."
Nute Ridge Bible Chapel (Photo: Nute Ridge Bible Chapel)
NUTE CHAPEL. NUTE RIDGE. The Nute Chapel was built about 1891 or 1892, to be used for "Union" meetings, from a fund left by the late Hon. Lewis W. Nute, of this town, to whom Milton owes so much. The first pastor was Rev. Wm. A. Bacon, who remained several years. The present pastor of the church is Rev. Robert M. Peacock, who has been here about ten years. There was a Christian Church at West Milton about fifty years ago, but no services have been held there by that society for many years (Mitchell-Cony, 1907).
In unpacking and arranging the Mitchell-Coney time hints a bit, it would seem that Rev. William A. Bacon did occupy the Nute Chapel's pulpit for "several years" from some point after the chapel's October 1890 dedication, and that Rev. Robert M. Peacock did arrive there about 1896, continuing for "about ten years" to the directory's 1907 publication date (but then beyond).
But that account overlooks the October 1890 news account of the chapel's dedication, which identified Rev. H.H. Hamilton as its pastor. It might be that his tenure was brief – perhaps only for the ceremony itself – or that he had only the status of a "supply" pastor, but he was listed as its first pastor nevertheless.
A more complete Nute Chapel minister list, and one that extends out through its first thirty years, would be: Rev. Henry H. Hamilton, Rev. William A. Bacon, Rev. Charles S. Bates, Rev. Robert M. Peacock, Rev. Edward P. Eastman, Rev. Danville A. Gammon, and Rev. George A. Bennett.
There might conceivably have been still others, perhaps filling interstices in the latter years of this sequence, but no records have come to hand that would identify them.

The Granite State. Northern New Hampshire. Two of our largest churches have recently taken to themselves pastors. Littleton has shown commendable speed in securing a successor to Mr. Cooley, allowing only two months to pass without a resident pastor. In the meantime only one candidate was considered, so that when Rev. W.A. Bacon assumed the pastorate Dec. 1 the unanimous sentiment of church and society was with him. Mr. Bacon is to the manner born. The son of a minister now in active service, Rev. W.F. Bacon of Medford, Mass., educated at Williston Seminary, Dartmouth College and Hartford Theological Seminary, he has ministered to churches in Milton, N.H., Beverly, Shelburne Falls and Springfield, Mass. Obliged by illness in his family to go abroad, has spent the last three years in England, where he became a member of the London Union, was acting pastor of the Canning Town Church, a director in the settlement work of Mansfield House, and a member of the school board of West Ham, when the new Act was first put in force. He now returns to the state where his ministry began with accumulations of faith and experience that make him a preacher, a wise pastor and an inspiring leader (Pilgrim Press, 1906).

The church has been without a pastor since last November when the Rev. H.T. Hinman went to a charge in Tuckahoe, New York . An effort was made to unite the Congregational and Methodist churches in Lyndonville but this failed and various supplies and candidates have looked after the services since the resignation of Mr. Hinman. "Mr. Hinman [Bacon] has been in Littleton for the past 17 years" says the Littleton Courier, and has endeared himself to many. He is a very able preacher and the Vermont town is fortunate in the addition of Mr. Bacon and his family to its residents" (St. Johnsbury Republican, January 11, 1923).

Rev. Charles Sumner Bates – 1892-95
Charles S. Bates was born in Marshfield, MA, November 26, 1865, son of Henry S. and Bethia C. (Ewell) Bates. (He may have been a namesake for Massachusetts's US Senator Charles Sumner, who was brutally beaten on the US Senate floor, by a pro-slavery US Representative in 1856. Massachusetts's other US Senator, Henry Wilson, originally of Farmington, NH, was threatened also).
He graduated from the Bangor Theological Seminary in 1890, and was ordained in Lee, NH, in June 1890.
MINISTERIAL PERSONALS. C.S. Bates was installed as pastor of the church in Lee, N.H., on June 25 (Christian Union, July 10, 1890).
LEE. Monday, Jan. 4, the annual business meeting of the church and society was held. The usual number was in attendance, and a unanimous vote was passed to procure the services of the pastor, Rev. C.S. Bates, the coming year. His efforts in our behalf have been duly appreciated, and he seems to have won the respect and esteem of all his people. The treasurer's report shows there are funds in the treasury, and more has been raised for benevolent purposes than for many years. Resolutions were p[assed expressing gratitude to one of our number who so generously donated a handsome sum, the income of which is to be devoted yearly to the support of the Gospel in this place (Newmarket Advertiser, January 8, 1892).
Religious Intelligence. New Hampshire. Lee. At the Christmas celebration of the Congregational church the pastor, Rev. C.S. Bates, was presented with a fur overcoat and dogskin driving gloves, worth together over $32, with $6 in cash, a silver napkin ring and several minor gifts.

LEE. There will be services in the Union meeting house every Sabbath afternoon, commencing May 1st. Rev. Charles Bates will conduct them. … Our genial young minister, Charles S. Bates, has demonstrated the fact that it is not well for man to live alone in a great parsonage, and has taken unto himself a helpmeet.

LEE. On Tuesday evening, May 3, the Rev. Charles Bates, who has recently taken a prize ticket in the "matrimonial lottery," was treated to a donation party by his parishioners. These days are unlike the old times, when donation parties meant, give the poor "Elder" something that nobody wanted, and eat up all that he needed himself. Therefore, we are able to chronicle that Mr. Bates' pantry and cellar were generously filled and an enjoyable evening spent (Newmarket Advertiser, May 14, 1892).
LEE. Our esteemed pastor, Chas. S. Bates, has received an invitation to take the pastorate at Milton, with a largely increased salary. He has not yet decided whether to accept or not. His people here are very anxious to have him remain here (Newmarket Advertiser, July 2, 1892).
LEE. Rev. Charles S. Bates will exchange pulpits Sunday with Rev. Mr. Bacon of Milton (Newmarket Advertiser, July 16, 1892).
Religious Intelligence. New Hampshire. Milton. The reported call of the Rev. C.S. Bates of Lee to this town is true, notwithstanding the doubt occasioned by the fact that the Congregational church here was already provided with a pastor. Mr. Bates' call is not to this church but to the undenominational Nute's chapel. He will enter upon his new duties on the 10th instant. His post-office address will be Farmington (Vermont Chronicle, August 5, 1892).
LEE. Chas. S. Bates preached his farewell sermon Sunday, both at the Chapel, and the Union meeting house. It is a matter of regret to all that he has decided to leave us (Newmarket Advertiser, August 6, 1892).

R.H. Davies of North Conway. The devotional service was conducted by Rev. C.S. Bates of Nute chapel. The first prayer of the service and of the conference was made by Rev. George E. Hall of Dover. The thought of the devotional service was the presence of Christ as promised, Matthew xxviii: 20 (Vermont Chronicle, June 23, 1893).
A Bangor Theological Seminary catalog of 1895 listed Charles Sumner Bates, Class of 1890, as having a Parish in Farmington, NH. (His post-office address had been listed in 1892 as Farmington, NH. The Nute Chapel Association has been based also at various times in Farmington) (Smith, 1895).

REGISTRAR'S REPORT. Necrology. Robert M. Peacock died in the hospital at Augusta, January 30, 1918. He was born in Rosetta, Ontario, September 15, 1848, graduating from Bangor Seminary June, 1878, and later taking post-graduate work in Bowdoin College. His first parish was the churches of Solon and Bingham, where he was ordained. On September 4, 1880, he was married to Miss Ada Lee of Riverside, Maine, where he had preached as a student.

Carrie A. (Locke) Gammon became a minister in her own right. In a historical piece discussing the Free-Will Baptists receiving ordained women from other denominations, her name was given as an example. (We have seen already the example of Rev. Mrs. Elizabeth S. Barker having preached initially for the Baptists, before being ordained by the Methodists).
A few previously ordained women were received into the Free-Will Baptist denomination from other origins. Ella S. Cheney's previous ordination by a holiness sect was recognized in 1905. Jennie Jackson's previous ordination by the World Faith Mission was recognized in 1907. And some switched. In 1903 Mrs. S.W. Treworgy who had been preaching for Free-Will Baptists became a Northern Baptist. In 1904 Mrs. Carrie A.

An Experience With Parcel Post. Rev. Edgar Warren, Hampton, N.H. Dear Sir, In response to your inquiry in the January POULTRY ADVOCATE I will say that I have not been successful in making a market for eggs by parcel post. In the Wright egg boxes the eggs went safely, and I have used the same carton three or four times. After the Postoffice department advertised to take eggs and produce as ordinarily packed to ship express, I sent five shipments (15 dozen case) to Winthrop Highlands, Mass., insuring each package or shipment. Two of the five were badly smashed (31 in one case and in the last 51) and then I quit. I entered complaints, put in my claims. One was paid for in about six months; the other has never been settled. Not much value to such insurance. In small packages parcel post is expensive to suit. It looks as if city people were not willing to pay the producer what they must pay the retailer, even if the former gives them fresher goods. D.A. GAMMON, Farmington, N.H. (Depuy, 1915).

Pepperell. Double Funeral. Lester James Hill, eldest son of James and Etta L. (Bennett) Hill, died in Boston at the Massachusetts General hospital on Monday, Nov. 19, and when the death message reached town that day, his mother was at the bedside of his sister, Violet Etta, who was holding to life by a frail thread at the St. Joseph hospital in Nashua, where on Wednesday, Nov. 21, she passed away about 1 a.m., nearly at the same hour of her brother's death. The entire community is affected by the unusual and doubly sad occurrence and the heartfelt sympathy of all goes out to the grief-stricken parents. Both were born in Brookline, N.H. Lester, the elder, was born Aug. 18, 1899 and died at the age of 18 years, 3 months, 1 day. He was a bright, energetic lad and nearly everybody knew him. He was the paper boy for some time, delivering the morning papers, and this last summer assisted F.J. Dunlap at his automobile supply shop, when his health permitted him to do so. He has not been well for about two years. He suffered from a nervous trouble and since an attack of rheumatic fever his heart has been badly affected. Endocarditis, a form of heart trouble, was the cause of his death. He had been in the hospital several weeks. His illness interfered with his school work, but be was an interested member of the M.E. Sunday school, also of Pepperell Boy Scouts. Both he and his sister were members of the Congregational church in Brookline, where their grandfather, Rev. George Bennett, was formerly pastor. Violet, aged 14 years, 8 months and 3 days, was taken sick two or three weeks ago also with a nervous trouble and complications, and last Thursday night a decided change for the worse developed. She was removed Friday morning to the St. Joseph hospital. She was a member of the Babbatassett Camp Fire and the M.E. Sunday school, and had many friends among the young people. She was devoted to her brother and was a regular little mother. While her mother has been employed in the Nashua River Paper Co. mills she has shouldered quite a little of the work in the home, caring for her little sister. Violet's death was doubtless hastened by worry over her brother, as she has also bad a heart trouble with her nervous disease. The two children now surviving are George, aged 11 and Gladys, 6 years of age., A double funeral was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. W.H. Beers, assisted by Rev. J.B. Lewis, pastor of the Congregational church A quartet composed of Mrs. Alice Bartlett, Miss Eva Shepardson and Messers. Spurgeon Cuthbertson and Ralph W. Buck, sang with sympathy, "One by One" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." The Boy Scouts and Junior Camp Fire attended in a body, while the Boy Scouts acted as bearers, Harold. Copp, Barrett Jacobs, Leon Winch and Glen Parker bearing the remains of their young comrade, and Vernon Bancroft, Leonard Dow, Alfred Parker, Charlie Dennen, were bearers for his sister. Large numbers attended, and it was the most affecting service probably ever held here. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers. The two bodies were placed side by side in one grave in Woodlawn cemetery (Hollis Times (Hollis, NH), November 23, 1917).
Pepperell Locals. Rev. George Bennett of Wakefield was in town the last of the week to be present at the double funeral of his two grandchildren, Lester James Hill and Violet Etta Hill, who were buried from the Methodist church Friday afternoon (Hollis Times (Hollis, NH), November 30, 1917).

REV. GEORGE A. BENNETT. Sunday, Oct. 16, the funeral of Rev. George A. Bennett was held in the Nute Ridge Chapel, West Milton, N.H., of which he had been pastor for the past year.

One thought on "Milton's Nute Chapel Ministers of 1890-21"
Alice Walsh says:
Thank you for this interesting information about Nute Chapel's history of Pastors. My husband has been the Pastor for the past 10 years. A few years ago we celebrated the churches 125th Anniversary and displayed pictures of the church being built and listed the past pastors names but we didn't have all this history.

Even if, like me, you've only heard the song "Mercy Now" by Mary Gauthier once, chances are it has stuck in your consciousness and continued to play in your head, providing an eerie, calming beacon.
It takes enormous will to make a direct plea for mercy--especially in such an infuriating national climate. With a day off from touring at a remote cabin near Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, Gauthier (pronounced "go-shay") has a chance to explain the song's roots.
"That song started with me dealing with my father's Alzheimer's," she says in her loping, Louisiana-born drawl, "this man that I once feared and was so incredibly angry at--he was an alcoholic, and he was not good to my mother, and I just spent a lifetime being angry at him. As he got sicker, he just became helpless, and being angry at him was just no longer the right reaction. He changed, and I had to change; the song is born from having compassion for my dad for maybe the first time in my life."
What's amazing about the song is that her father occupies only the first verse; each successive verse bestows mercy on her brother, her church and her country, until finally, Gauthier declares that "every living thing could use a little mercy now." Gauthier says it's one of those songs that simply spilled out, rushing through her as though she were merely its conduit. "It grew into this thing, into this big thing!" she says. "I don't know how that happened. It just took off on its own, like riding a wild horse."
Gauthier, who appears Feb. 25 at Studio E, has been on a wild horse of her own for the past five years. After selling the restaurant she ran for a decade, she moved to Nashville with the express intention of making it in the music business. More and more, Nashville looks for young up-and-comers, and Gauthier didn't write her first song until she was 35. At the time, her confidence was pretty low.
"I just knew that I wasn't gonna get good at it if I did it for a hobby," she explains. "I mean, I was just risking it all. It was more audacity than confidence."
Though her songwriting shined, the beast of the business was cruel at first. "I was used to making money," she says, "and then suddenly, when I sold the restaurant, I had to get used to working really hard for no money at all."
Gauthier remembers the first time she performed in Sebastopol, opening for Richard Shindell. "His bottle of wine cost more than I got paid," she laughs. "I specifically remember that. But you know what, I probably wasn't worth more than $50. Nobody knew who I was, and you've gotta do that for a lot of years to get to where there's any value attached to your name."
Gauthier's legend as a compelling live performer and ever-evolving songwriter grew, and her perseverance eventually paid off. Her newest album, Mercy Now (Lost Highway), has received universal acclaim, and Gauthier is finally seeing the world catch up with her talents. Just days earlier, she had performed at the Grand Ole Opry on a bill with Porter Wagoner, Patty Loveless and Charley Pride, and over the phone, she still glows with amazement.
"I grew up listening to the Opry," Gauthier gushes, "and I never expected--ever, ever expected--that I would be invited to be there. You know, I'm just living this crazy dream. I feel incredibly lucky."
With all of this gratitude going around, doesn't Gauthier ever get angry? "Of course I get angry," she says. "I can't even look at the president on TV, I have to turn it off. But he's not America, he's just a guy with a timer over his head--three years and counting.
"As you get older," Gauthier continues, evoking the message of "Mercy Now," "you start to wanna make peace. If you're angry all the time, you get angry reactions in return. There's something to that."
Mary Gauthier performs with Thomm Jutz on Saturday, Feb. 25, at Studio E in Sebastopol. The show is sold-out. To beg for tix, call 707.542.7143.
