and cementing all both socially and re-
liglously into one common body, bound to-
gether by ties never to be broken assunder;
whose great object and DIN is to ascertain
how they can best work to promote their
own good and the general welfare. We
should never practice seclusion; never shu:
ourselves out from the society Of friends
but be ever watchful and mindful of their
and our own brst interests guarding with
care our tendencies to unsociability, and

Finally, let US ever he mindful of the
sqacred ties Of friendship ever seekingeto~
build up society. socially, politically and
Freligously. Let Us remember that whl]e we
should exercise the greatest caution in the
formation Of friendships while We should
admit none'to the altar of our social az
fections whose lives and characters we
have not closely scanned; while we should
assure ourselves of the genuineness OF the
professions Of those to whom we open our
hearts, if VIC would not, in the hour Of
| need, have our trust and our friendship
betrayed yet let us never loose sight Of
the responsibility resting upon us as mem
bers of the same society and of the same
great human family ever to greet with the
cordial hand of support and the elcome
word Of sympathy a poor and needy fell
low mortal. Thus will we not only con-
tribute to the happiness of all with whom
We come in contact, but we will continually
be forming new friendships sowing good
] seed upon fertile soil that will eventually
spring up and yield, it may be, a thousand
fold to our everlasting honor and to the
good of the whole human race. Thus will
society be built up, churches: and schools
become more and more useful, and human

After tie essay We we're favored, with a
song from little Florry Garvin, such q
little midget" that she could. hardly
reach from. the pedals to the key. board.
We also listened to some songs by Mr.. and
the Mrs. Humason, Miss Ella .Weodworth,
and Messrs. Howard, and "Uncle Hiram"
W oodworth., Mrs. Humason, Ella Wood
worth, Hattie aarvin and Flora Austin
also played instrumental pieces. Thus the
evening passed quickly and pleasantly,
and the exercises were closed with an ap-
| propriate chant, and. reading and prayer
by the Rev. Mr.. Garvin. The object Of the
ladies is to gather up funds sufficient to
build, q parsonage, which we very much
need. The Humasons, two gentlemen and
their wives, new comers, are all accom-
I plished musicians, and will be valuable ae-
| QUESTIONS to our society.
