unnrofitabie task As that would prove:
but we are stating fact when We cay
that there is very wide spread feel

Presbyterian preacher. Mr.. Laird. He
is fresh from The East where lie il
more settled than it is here, and the
absence of a young tnen's reading club
in our little city is noted by him. lie
proposes that the question Of organiz-
ing such an institution be sgl'ated.
We like his i,iea and will help him
what We can. Meantime. we must
confess thai We somehow greatly dis
like the sound of The luung mems
