CALLS and Sherman, and Hoar, and

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton here is not as fiourishing as it
| has been. There seems to be an in
difference in regard to attending the
weekly meetings. We would urge a
little more punctuality on the part of
the officers and this will make the
othcrmembers more punctual.
We know j young minister of the
Gospel who, soon after his ordination
made this announcement to his flock,
II am now ready to marry your
daughters" Come, my dear friend,

the daughters of some of these good
people will entirely fill the bill.

lowing programme was well rendered.
