ont dinner was announced which all
partook heartily of. As the good
ladies of Fellowship and joining COM
munities are noted for getting up good
dinners. In the afternoon Mr.. {. L.
Bittnger was introduced and made
very interesting talk on sunday
school work which was appreciated by
all who had the pleasure Of hearing
him. Professor Stroller was then in
troduced and made very fiatteEing
address. Aay one who has heard Mr..
Stroller talk on Sunday schools are
always anxious to hear him the second

any such growth. Bat there is had
