THE past week was not laid down
In the calendar :is being a con-
tinuation of Lent, and yet n
u goodly portion of society. at least
the Presbyterian end of it, has
been devoting itself somewhat unani-
1,,ously to good works in the shape OF
promoting the welfare of the Presby-
terry In session in the First Presby-
terrain church. The ladies'. in particu-
lar. spent about half the time in pre-
pairing food for the ministers to eat
during the other half. Elaborate
lunches We're served in the church, and
the members of the Presbytery were
iavishly entertained in various homes.
There is some reason for the sus-
picion that to the excessive hospitality
OF the entertainers is due the prolonged
sessions OF the Presbytery, which only
ny IL heroic effort was brought to an
end Thursday night. Adieus were
spoken again and again. and still the
brethren fingered. One reverend gentle
man finally left the last afternoon ses-
sion with such precipitancy. in order
TO catch train, that he took another
minister's hat in place of his--the
other, by the way, being n prominent
pastor of this city-and in his haste
neglected to carry along his own over
coat. He missed the train, returned to
the church. corrected his mistakes and
finally got away from town the next
day.
