Tie clo,ing reading was by Mrs. II.
w. Mjlntire. Her seiection WAS u
choice one, written by Harriet
Beecner Stowe, entitled. "Christ i.
Coming Tomorrow" from which We
take the following gems:
"rhe night Is far spent, the day is at

ment like q harp. Was il true? The
night, the long night OF the worlds

At the close Of this very in
teresting reading every heart in the
audience seemed touched and sub.
dued, so vivid was his inspiring scrip
ture truth made to appear.
Although the evenings exercises
were very enjoyable and instructive,
many in the audience expressed the
pleasure and protitthey received. All
the ladies read well. The singing OF
the missionary hymns were hearty,
and shared by the whole congregation
and in addition a duet, entitled, TELL

NJ. Kreidler aud Miss C., Ross. Mrs.
