but it was quite evident that the whole
affair was a surprise to him, he hardly
knew what to say, he showed such great
emotion, and without speaking he coult
plainly say he appreciated their endeav

arc beautiful. He spoke for about ffteer
minutes after which the handshakes wer,

scended to the vestry to partake of some
excellent ice-cream, cake and coffee, pre-

and all were urged to remain to the feast
1t certainly was the prettiest entertain
ment we ever attended, and it was a com
plete surprise to Rev. Mr.. Harris.
