82 TOURING QUEBEC AND THE MARITIMES year. On June 7th, 1928, this church and the town jointly celebrated their 175th birthday, and an ancient custom was revived of "beating the bounds of the parish.'' The original framework of the church, built in Boston, now forms the nave of the spacious and beautifully furn¬ ished church, seating 1,000 people. Its peal of bells can be heard for great distances on land and sea, and the Queen Anne Pewter Chalice, that was used in 1753, is still in use today. In Lunenburg there are many beautiful homes, a fine big Academy, and a $30,000 skating rink. After a most enjoyable motor drive through Lunen¬ burg, the First Battalion Band rendered an hour's program of high class music from the band stand, overlooking the ocean. From nine to eleven p.m., Hon. J. J. Kinley , M.P.P ., and Mrs. Kinley entertained us at an informal reception in their magnificent home, and on their attractive grounds on . We were met at the door by Miss Mary Kinley , daugh¬ ter of the host, who, with his charming wife, gave every one of us a hearty welcome to his home. Choice vocal selections were rendered by the Lunen¬ burg mixed quartette, which has been well received in Halifax on several occasions. The quartette comprises Mrs. G. O. Baker, Mrs. B. G. Oxner , Mr. G. R. Silver , and Mr. W. A. Whynacht, with Mrs. W. A. Whynacht accompanist. Delicious refreshments were daintily served by a bevy of Lunenburg's fair young ladies, whose endearing charms were sung by the poets of "The Outlook" till the end of the journey. Perhaps they are singing yet. Is it any wonder that we returned to our train lauding our kind host and hostess and these dear Maritime folks, whom we now called "friends?"
