the striking beauty of many of the
women. 1t was, indeed, a pleasant
study.
The exercises of the day were held
in the church, and the building was
taxed to its utmost capacity. 1t was
not large enough to accommodate
more than 'two.thirds of the crowd.
The balance remained outside and lis
tened at the windows. Rev. ]. P.
Knox presided, and it goes without
saying that he held the proceedings
strictly to the programme, which was
opened with an anthem by the choir
"The Earth is the Lords"
This was followed by touchingly
beautiful prayer by Rev. J. NJ. White,
of McCain's, Tennessee. The central
thought of the petition was that all the
people assembled, as we'll as their kin.
dred and friends, shall be at that other
and perpetual reunion at the "mar'
riage supper of the Lamb" The
prayer was followed by No. 153 in
Bible songs, by the choir.

was the calling of the roll of the de-
scendants of Captain William McGill.

nedy Of Yorkville. He first explain
