A lavish display of flowers was made
at the Methodist church, Sunday, at the
children's day celebration. Smilax and
roses were everywhere and there was
pleasing arrangement of plants from con-
servatories. The services throughout
were interesting and the large audience
showed its appreciation of the program.
The address of Rev Mr. Gilman sparkled
with good humor and fairly bristled with
facts and arguments when he spoke in
favor of increasing the fund in behalf of
struggling young students at Wesleyan
and similar universities. On this point,
Mr. Gilman is enabled to speak with pc
culiar fervor, knowing full well the diff
ficulties and discouragements which be-
set needy students. For while, he sup
ported himself and pursued his collegiate
SOtA
Later, when he was able to do occasional
preaching, he had as much as ST a week,
out of which he aided his room mate.
"But | did not recover from the strain
for ten years." he said. His address was
listened to with close attention and was
largely instrumental in increasing the
contribution for the fund. The program:
