idea, one of them being the interior
ence with the afternoon meetings of
the Y. M. c. A, and another the dis
| comfort which would ensue from the
attendance upon afternoon meetings in
the summer.
! Most of the objections might be over
ruled by having only one church open
| in the afternoon and allow the differ
ent pastors to alternate in holding SER
vice. This plan would have the good
effect of making people of the differ
ent churches acquainted with each 9TH
er and with each others minis . J.
