 The subject for the Wednesday even ing prayer meeting center. "The Wid- ow's Two Mltes-Why Were They Com mended"' ought to be of interest to a large number of people.

 A goodly audience gathered in Me morial hall on Friday evening to enjoy the concert given for the library bene- | fit. The program was a delightful one | and was fully appreciated by the music-loving people. It was pronounce ed by our best judges to be one of the finest ever given in Memorial hall.
