A very pleasant social event in Christian
Erdeavor circles was the reception last

the parlors of the Sunday school house,
which were given additional attractiveness
cosmos and cut flowers, which were taste
fully grouped around the rooms.
Miss Anna ]. Bell, the president of the
Calvary Society, and Mr.. Miles NJ Shand,
president of the District Union, stood in the
doorway welcoming the arrivals, and at a
nearby table the guests were provided with
cards bearing the names of the wearers and
the society with which they were connect
ed, an arrangement which materially help
ed in introductions and in getting all thor
oughly acquainted with each other. An
hour was spent in pleasant reunions and
sociability, when Mr.. w. w. Everett re-
quested the assembly to please "go above"
a request that was promptly complied with
and formal program was carried out.
