them more entertaining still. In conclu-
sion she read very striking poem en-
titled Each IN His own Name by w.
VI. Carruth. The poem was published in
the Boston Christian Register, and its
first stanza is as follows:
"A fire mist and n planet.
A crystal and a cell;
jelly-iish and n saurian
And caves where the cave men dwell;
Then a sense OF law and beauty.
And a face turned from the clod,
Some call IL Evolution
And others call 1t God"
