all displayed deep thought and careful prep
aratiOn. In all cases the students spoke
clearly and distinctly; but Mr.. Joseph j.

played depth of research and skill in treat
| ment. These glimpses into the work of the

by Mr.. ]. Philip Gerry. which were heartily
applauded, and a violin solo by Mr.. VIM. K.
Maulty. The accompanies were Mrs. Su-

PRESIDENT had stated for the truth what he
did not know to be true; that the message
had been sent to every part of the globe,
