hearty welcome. Tables were to be erected on
the lawn of the parsonage and the occasion was
to be joyous one, in which the whole congre-
CATION should take part The heavy storm at
the time appointed for the gathering prevented
these arrangements being carried out, but not

number gathered at the parsonage.
After personal salutations Elder Edgar Mob

JOY because of the return of past or and family,
and extended to them a most cordial welcome

dences of affection and appreciation. The hours
of the evening were spent most socially. the
choir, under the leadership of Prof. K. r. LLOYD,
