| There are at present twenty inmates of

neatly attired in black gowns with spotless

| brief chats with the various visitors as
much as the latter did themselves
During the afternoon Rev. Harvey Of
| ficer made brief address. His subject
was Christian Charity" "St. john
!! said the speaker, "has defined charity as
] the very essence of God himself The
| Latin tongue tells US that charity means
| love, therefore these three words, God,
| love and charity, have one and the same
meaning" The speaker defined Christian
| charity as being the life Of God in the
soul, and contrasted it with worldly
| charity. The latter, he said, was soulless.
| Every act performed by it was for the
vain glory of the giver Christian charity
| was far more rare in the world, but, al
| though it was accompanied by no ostenta-
ton, and although its gifts were not al
ways valuable in themselves, its influence
and power were infinite.
| Miss Frances Woodruff gave a large
euchre party yesterday afternoon at her
| home on Paramount avenue, in honor of
| Miss Flora McCulloch, who will leave
| shortly to spend the winter in AsheviIle,
