Mr H a mlin , by his w ork a s pastor,
built-·up a stron g churc h at E asthampton, 'both as a kind ard understanding
shepherd of his flo clc, and as a preacher oi:' moral po,ver and stimulating Intellectual force. Among tqe wider affairs In which he took part were the
successful campa,igns against racetrack gambling and _ in favpr of the\ '
"safe and sane" t&gt;bse rvance of the
, Fourth. He also became widely known
for - his advocacy of state or national
control of the liquor traffic. The loyaltt of the P,ayson parish for Mr Hamlin knew no bounds, and found its fullest expression In the celebration of
his 25th . anniversary as pastor Jan- 1:

At the time of Mr Hamlin's 26th
anniversary in 1910, the principal
speaker was former Gov Curtis Guild,
who paid high tribute to Mr Ham,l l~'s
service. "For 25 years," he said,
"Charles H. Hamlin has been a minis•
, ter to the spiritual needs of this con- .
gregation and in the truest sense qf
the word, the pastor of his church- 1
- For as a shepherd Is the leader of his ·
. flock, so· has this clergyman, In this I
b eautiful valley, beloved and beautiful '
1
eve n in colonial days, been a pastor,
a shepherd of men, as were his predecessors, when this wai; no tranquil
hamlet, but the very fronter of civil•
I ization."
1
Rev Dr P. s. Moxom, then a prom!- .
, nent pastor In Springfield, said that Mr ·
j Hamlin was a man who "profoundly ,
b e li eves in the comprehensive mission
of the church. Mr Hamlin's name is
. known (and in some quarters whole- I
somely feared) all over the commonjwea lth. His successful -efforts to abol,ish a great evil (referring to race
track pool sell!ng) make part of its
recent history. His d evotion to a high I
, c ivic ideal has been inspiration to followers and fello\y workers and has
, exerted an influence wider than .he 1 s uspects. His practical belief that 1
'clcanliness is next to godliness' and
his broad Interpretation of cleanliness
have worked str ongly for a cleaner
and sounder s ocia l life. He has ear ned
the confidence and esteem of the best /
elemen ts in the . community and com- I
pelled the respect of all ; it haii earned
, for him the love and loyal support of
the church for which he has so long
been a leader."
[ It was said of Mr Hamlin, when a
I student, that he was wa.rned not to
1 go to Germany to study unless he
wanted to become an infide l, 'but he
promptly went to Germany, where exp os nre s imply toughened the fiber of
hi., c onvic tions.

                  <text>These scrapbooks consist of newspaper clippings largely from the Hampshire Gazette and Springfield Republican newspapers taken by Ms. Bartlett over the approximate period 1927 - 1960.  As the scrapbooks are scanned and optically character recognized, additional scrapbooks will be added to the collection. There are several scrapbooks in the archive that have not been digitized; those are not members of this collection.&#13;
Some of these items are bound books and others loose-leaf binders. Loose-leaf binders are scanned with a professional flat bed scanner with the result that optical character recognition is of reasonable accuracy. Books are scanned photographically with the result that optical character recognition is less accurate.</text>

preciation in this part of the s tate
of t he va lue of scenic beau ty. The
ai ms of !he o rgani zation a re worth y
of em ul ation by every section which
ha s been blessed by N ature as the
West fi eld ri\·er yt\ lley has been .
Jt is a beau€fru l coun try wh ich
embra ces that part of Western- Massachu seit s between the t own s oi
Becket and Midd lefi eld and th e Connecticut r iver. T he principal hi gh wa ys reveal much of it s charm to
t he trav eler, but by no means all.
Some of the fi nes t mountain rides ,
with unsurpassed views , are to be
made over country r ~ads, and the
improvement of these li ttle-traveled 1'
high wa ys wuul r_l rlouble the po pul~rity of the section fo r the motori ~t ,

                  <text>These scrapbooks consist of newspaper clippings largely from the Hampshire Gazette and Springfield Republican newspapers taken by Ms. Bartlett over the approximate period 1927 - 1960.  As the scrapbooks are scanned and optically character recognized, additional scrapbooks will be added to the collection. There are several scrapbooks in the archive that have not been digitized; those are not members of this collection.&#13;
Some of these items are bound books and others loose-leaf binders. Loose-leaf binders are scanned with a professional flat bed scanner with the result that optical character recognition is of reasonable accuracy. Books are scanned photographically with the result that optical character recognition is less accurate.</text>

                  <text>These scrapbooks consist of newspaper clippings largely from the Hampshire Gazette and Springfield Republican newspapers taken by Ms. Bartlett over the approximate period 1927 - 1960.  As the scrapbooks are scanned and optically character recognized, additional scrapbooks will be added to the collection. There are several scrapbooks in the archive that have not been digitized; those are not members of this collection.&#13;
Some of these items are bound books and others loose-leaf binders. Loose-leaf binders are scanned with a professional flat bed scanner with the result that optical character recognition is of reasonable accuracy. Books are scanned photographically with the result that optical character recognition is less accurate.</text>
