Reed, w. II. Reid and Vanderveer, who
will report at another meeting nexI

Mr.. Beecher spoke of the conference
IN Plymouth prayer meeting on Monday

10 unite, in some degree, in the observ
ance of Lent with the Episcopal and Ro
man Catholic churches. Mr.. Beechel
suggested that meetings be held in the
lecture-room on some evenings of mex
