numbers, in consequence Of which the

black walnut chairs, richly upholstered,
and pulpit to match. The pastor,
Rev. White. small in stature, cornpli-
mented them last Sabbath upon their
choice of pulpit. it being so we'll adapt
ed for the use of little ministers. They
also presented their President, Mrs.
Albert Turneck. with a beautiful camp
chair. The whole proceeds of the even
ing were $50 and upwards.
