At the Church.
1t was never a more difficult task to Sc
cure seats in the old First Baptist Meeting
House. When all the sons of Brown,
young and old, were seated,
for the mothers, wives and sisters OF
the sons. But the crowd got in somehow
and there were many obliged TO stand
An order TO enjoy the exercises. They
all stayed, however, from the presidents |
opening prayer to the benediction.
The orations were all good and the |
graduates discussions of weighty su bjects |
were frequently relieved by the -ases4e- ef |
Reeves and his musicians stationed in the |
choir loft.
