dwelling on the spirit OF love which was
the inspiration OF the proposed fund, an
inspiration which the tea cheers ha'! caught
from the command OF the Saviour himself

FAR to see such an enthusiastic ana inter

were only about $4,000 people in Wash

many school children. Gov. Shepherd

1t is expected that the hall will often hold
such a crowd as was there last evening.
