course appropriate to the anniversary occa-
sion. In the afternoon praise and experience

whitened Mr.. Wilson's hair had inserted an in
voluntary tremolo in that voice which so many
thousands have gladly listened to- and which,
in spite Of age, delighted last nights audience.
Last on the program was Brother Daniel S.

forcible way he talked to what he termed 1.-THE
