A GOOD WORK.
What the Gospel Mission Has Done
in the Past Year.
ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES AT CITY
HALL LAST NIGHT.

Many Friends of the Mission Present De-
spite the Rain-Mr. Pearson's Report
of the Years Labors-It Makes a
Pleasing Showing-Other Exercises of
the Evening.
The fourteenth annual meeting of the
Gospel Temperance Mission was held in
City Hall last evening, and notwithstand-
ing the inclemency of the weather there
was large attendance. Doubtless the
spacious auditorium would have been
filled had the weather been auspicious,
for great deal of interest is felt in the
good work of the Mission church, estab-
lished by Rev. S. F. Pearson, who has la
bored so ably and acceptably, as has also
his estimable wife and daughter
On the platform were many of the
children of the Sunday school, the large
chorus choir of the Mission, a quartette
of band instruments and grand piano.
The exercises opened at 7.30 o'elock by
singing "All Hail the Power of Jesus
Name,'' by the choir, with instrumental
i singing by choir and congregation of No.
6 on the Mission praise service card,
Meet Ne There,'' and No. 2, 'Alas Did
My Savior Die.''
Rev. Mr. Pearson then read selections
from the Scriptures and made an earnest
and eloquent prayer of thankfulness for
blessings that had been bestowed upon
the Mission during it's IA years of useful
ness.
No. IS was next sang, "Down at the
Cross Where Ny Savior Died.
Rev. Mr.. Pearson announced the
programme for the present week at the
Mission, there being services every eve
ming.
walk in the Light of God,' was then
rendered by choir and congregation in an
inspiring manner.
Rev. Mr.. Pearson then made few
remarks, stating that IA years ago few
met in a little room in the Mechanics
building and formed the Gospel Temper
ance Mission. 1t was an experiment, but
had become reality. From the little
room with 20 chairs, it had grown to re-
quire the second largest hall in the
city, and that was frequent
ly filed to overfowing. By
reason of the inadequacy of the Mission
Hall for the Sabbath school exercises on
the previous Sunday evening, it was
deemed better to secure City. Hall for the
annual meeting. No doubt the au-
dience would have been much larger but
for the copious rain, but he thanked God
for it. 1t had come to the parched earth
in a time when it was greatly needed.
'All things work together for good" and
good in this matter far outbalanced the
disappointment involved.
Rev. Mr.. Pearson said during his re-
marks that he has recently had calls to
other fields, one in Boston and another in
Philadelphia; that the Mission was now
in such condition that the good work
could go on whether he or any other suit
able man was at the head of it.
