Mr.. BARTLETT objected 10 this as it Wa!
simply 4 move on the part Of the mem
bers OF the club TO bring themselves NJ
10 a level with the standing of the An
nanias Club. The same objection wa,
so strongly expressed that the president

The president then read the following
communication from Capt Glover:
TO the President and members OF the
Annanias Club:
CiLNTLEMEN-I attended meeting OF
the club one week ago, and was called
upon for my experience. gave it as |
remembered it, but really l had no idea
Of the cnormity of my ohcnse until read
the story in the official paper OF the club
next morning. | realized then what a
bad man | had been, and as | pondered
over my past life, | wondered if there
WAS an avenue OF escape ior so wretched
II mortal as |. The dedication services
OF the Congregational Church were to
take place that day. knew could fiEd
any OF the other members weakening the
same way as Brother Glover
Brother Bell was called upon for an
essay on society, and with blush and a
:tutter said:
GENrLENES-During the past week |
have neglected my business, and spent
afternoons and evenings looking for
points on which to build a foundation ior
an essay Oh society. | have called Oh
many young ladies', and in my sweetest
manner asked them their opinion on the
subject, but in every instance | was told
there was no society. | thought this
strange, OF course, but it seemed none
the less true. So far as my experience
goes, | have never been any where
where there was so much society as there
relief i'll the crowd that would attend. |
got Il map OF the city, selected the back
streets so that my nGighb0rs would not
see me, and meandered to the new church
edIliCe. My heart was touched by the
beautiful hymns and the words OF the
speakers, and when the hat was passed
around, | handed in all the change had
in my pocket, amounting to $563.45, and
followed it up by joining the church.
Now that | have taken this step, feel it
incumbent upon myself to shun the priv
ilcges oil the world. / must do pcnnance
while the feeling lasts. Please accept
my resignation as 4 member OF the club.
Yours in the faith,
r. GLOVER.

Brother Dooley moved that the resigna-
ton he accepted, and asked that Il com
mittee be appointed to wait on the diff
fercnt members with Il view to finding
out whether there was a possibility of
is here, unless, perhaps, it was during
my sojourn on the Islands. The only
fault to be found here is in the fact of
there being no leader was informed,
however, that one is to lie imported, and
that i'll future no gentleman will be per-
mitted to call on lady after p. IN. I'M

| do not want you TO think | say this in
the interest of any tailor, l do not.
Brother Leyinson said he was glad the
rule would be enforced. He knew OF
some young men who were rather cut.
ting him cut in certain quarters, but as
they did not possess evening suits, and
he did, there would be no danger in the
future.
Brother Mcintyre then read an orig
inal poem on the 400, but as the ARGUS
man had withdrawn, OWING TO illness, it
is not reported here.
Adjourned.
