| At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Miss Pratt entertained the dele
gates by exercises of the Epworth
Guards, and this was one of the most
pleasing and entertaining features of
the convention. The address of Mrs.
h. D. Brooke on Junior League work

the subject being led by J.C. Miller.

at his best and all went away with a
clearer conception of what the social
life of a Christian should be than they
ever had before. The congregation
was then dismissed, giving leave to
remain and participate in the conse-
Grafton service, forming mystic cir
Gle around the hall, and joining hands
that the electric current might be un-
broken, but yibrete through all, and
with hands thus clasped bowed the
knee and consecrated themselves anew
to God and his service, and then ris-
ing, sang "Blest be the Tie that Binds
Our Hearts in Christian Love-" There

the hour that shall never be forgotten,
