headquarters at No. $40 Grove street was
thrown open to the public and to the
press, something which was never done
when the old committee held its famous
sessions. The old meeting-room seemed
cleaner and brighter, and the intelligent
faces which were visible from the plat
form made an inspiring scene.

and it was with feeling of much salts

and DR.. John d. McGiII. AS soon as
the preliminary steps had been taken in
the matter of organization Chair man
