a very interesting public meeting al the
Methodist church Sunday evening, req
"a, which was largely attended

" hat from the usual plan carried out on
similar occasions, this being "superlh-
tendent evening" devised to give to the
general public a glimpse of the aims
methods and possibilities of the depart
ment work of the local union, as repre-
scented by the superintendent OF the
various lines presented.
Owing to illness and other causes which,
much to the regret of all, prevented the
attendance of several earnest leaders
whose work is of special Importance,
some excellent papers were read, which
served to show that, if union falls
through stress of adverse circumstances
to accomplish much in the legal depart
ment, it can do grand service in other
channels for the cause OF humanity.
