over a year ago n number Of the
members of the Young Mems Christian
association met and organized a
Young Mems Forum" the purpose of
which was to gain mutual benefit by
discussion of the current topics of the
day and methods Of good government.
From first to last the interest in the
Forum was sustained and each meet
ing has resulted in positive gain.
Last night as a fitting close to the
first years work, q banduet was held
at the Hotel Rudolph and with but a
few exceptions every member was pres
ent. Though originally intended only
as a banquet. pleasant adjunct was
created by the return of the Thir-
tcenth regiment in whose ranks were
three of the Forums most active MEM
bers. Thus the affair, by necessity
lost part of it's identity as a banquet;
becoming q reception to the soldier
members.
The gentlemen accorded the honor
were T. A Surdam. George w. Walton
and Lewis Il. Carter, all privates in
Company d. AT the conclusion of the
menu cigars We're passed and the re-
sponse to toasts were made. Each
speaker indicated the benefit which has
certainly come to him by the sessions
of the society and the responses though
short. were brimful of good substance.
The menu, we'll selected and properly
served, was as follows:
Blue Points on Half Shell.
Soup
Consomme, Printanierre, Royal
Fish.
Broiled Shad.
Pommes ,Parsenne
Relishes.

half Of the Forum and expressed the
pleasure felt by all that they were
once more in their accustomed places.
He then called upon c. w. thinner
man, who was recently candidate for
office i'm Dunmore borough, to deliver
the address Of welcome.
Mr.. Zimmerman referred to the go
by the Forum in the absence Of three
Of it's active members. and the pride
felt by the society that they We're we'll
represented. Also of the return and
their delight i'm having the soldier
members once more in their midst. He
concluded his remarks with the
thought that the affair of the evening
marked the opening Of a new era to
the Forum i'm which they could take
just pride.
In behalf of the soldier trio, L. B.
Carter replied to the address Of well
come. He said that the' pleasures OF
camp over-shadowed the hardships,
and he knew that he and his COM
rades were proud Of having gone with
the regiment, but were very glad to
be back.
