There was quite u large audience pres
ent.

ceedingly interesting character, began

them by the choir.

Episcopal Church. read the Scripture
lesson and then followed the singing of
hymn by the choir and congregation
and prayer by Rev. L. u. Hatcher, of
the First Baptist Church.
Colonel Lamb president of the So
ciety, made his annual address, which
was replete with many Interesting fea-
lures. In the course of his remarks Ale
referred very feelingly to the absence of
the late DR.. Lacey, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, saying that he
had always evinced the greatest in
terest in the Seamen's Friend Society
and its work.
The beautiful selection, Jesus, Saw
Jour. Pilot Me-" was rendered as a solo
with soul-stirring effect by Mr.. w. w.
Whidbee. Jr., choirmaster of the First
Presbyterian Church.
The CHAPLAIN of the Bethel, Rev. J..
b. Merritt. who for many years has
filled the position with credit to him

the proceedings of the annual meeting

After the singing OF n hymn. Rev A.
Coke Smith. D. D., of Epworth M. r.
Church. was introduced. The Doctor
made a magnificent address, which
created n most profound impression
upon his audience. He laid great stress
upon the fact that commerce and re-
ligion are handmaidens in the progress
of civilization. His address bristled
with many points that were eminently
appropriate to the occasion. He re-
ferred to the combines" in q trade and
strongly advocated a combine of the
Christian people for the conquest of the
world for Christ.
An offering was received for the ben
eft of the Seamen's Friend Society, the
appeal for it being made by Rev. J. T..
Thacker of the Second Presbyterian

sion Is irresistible that the words of
the deceased. which were undertaken
by the propounder to be set up as a
nuncupative will, were not intended as
such a will by the speaker when he
uttered them. On the contrary. he was
simply giving directions about what he
desired embraced in the written will
that ne 2urposed executing. The OBJ
Ject OF Richards visit there was to
write his will. and the purpose of the
remarks made by Perry was to inform
MIN now he wanted it written. We do
not think that legal nuncupative will
can DC made in such a manner. In the
nrst place, there is an absolute want of
any intention to make such a will. In
the next place, no words were used
Gaming upon any one to witness that
what was said was a verbal will. Sec
tion 3349 of the Civil Code declares:
NO nuncupative will shall be good
that is not proved by the oaths of at
least three competent witnesses that
were present at the making thereof
nor unless 1t be proved that the tesla
tor at the time of pronouncing the
same. did bid the persons present, or
some of them. bear witness that such
was his will. or that effect" etc.
The fact that q person intends to
make q. written will, declares this pur-
pose IN the presence of others, and
states what disposition he desires made
OF his property, cannot be construed
into a nuncupative will simply because
he happens to die before the paper had
been prepared in accordance with his
request
