The report of the Devotional
Committee was read by Hon. j. B.
Anterior. The committee had hard
ly realized the hopes expected. A
praise service had been held regu
larly every Sunday evening, con-
Quoted by various persons. Strong
efforts had been made to secured an
evangelist but without success.
Mr.. p. G. Jones, chairman of the
Temperance Committee, reported
that the work during the past year
had been confined to the Blue Rib
bon League and meetings for men
only. The entertainments by the
League had outlived their useful
ness. The meetings for men in
Brewers block, Saturday evenings,
had been started as an offset to the
saloons. The attendance was good
at the start, but it had dwindled
down SO that at the last meeting there
was only thirteen present, and four
of those we're speakers. Even the
tempting offer of free cream soda
drinks did not have the desired
effect. While the report was
not so good as the chairman
would have wished, yet it must
not be understood that no good had
been done. The committee recon-
mended the holding of gospel tenn
perance meetings. They hoped the
new year would bring increased
activity in the temperance cause.

Friday evening which had been well
attended. Since its organization
seventeen hundred had taken the
pledge. One feature was the reports
of the standing committees, giving
particulars of their work. Delegates

with good results. On the whole
the committee felt that the large ex,
penditure for this branch had beer
wise.
