that the supply Of beef steers in Union

the fire, that thou mayest be rich5 aud
white raiment that thou mayest be cloth
ed, and that the shame of thy naked
ness do not appear; and annoint thine
eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest
see."
Pres. Royals eermon bore strongly on
the formation Of character, and diyided
in three parts. First, Gold tried in the
fire which typides Ctrists' character and
will stand any test. Second, Regarding
the white raiment, typifying The inno-
cent and pure life OF holiness and doubt
less refers to two things, the comfort and
satisfaction OF the individual of holy liv.
ing, also the reputation before the worl d
of those who have the true religious
character. The attention of the audience
was here called to the verse, These are
they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the lamb"
The third point in the discourse, and
"Annoint thine eyes with eye salve that
thou mayest see," referred to the open
ing Of the understanding and the revela-
tion Of God in every study or work the

tiyes take people to church, and as an
encore, gave the recitation, THE Face

showed the finished artist in each OF the
performers.
Miss Alma Kirk gave one OF her de-
lightIuIly sweet songs. and the program
ended with recitation, by Miss locelyn
Koontz That Miss Kooniz possesses the
DRAMATIC power TO high degree, wat
