Most of them seemed familiar with
the custom at the parsonage. and
the company was soon quietly seated
in the two large rooms.
Ralph turned to Matthew's Gospel
and read the passage in which Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, defines the
term ..'brotherhood.'' while He was
yet speaking to the multitudes, be-

stand without, seeking to speak to
Thee. But He answered and said
unto him that told him, Who is my
mother? and who are my brethren?
And He stretched forth His hand to-

hold my mother and my brethren!

When Mrs. Dillingham; went, out.
as. she walked along with Mrs: 'Vane
and the Wards, for they lived only
short distance from the parsonage,
she said: "Wel, there was a time
when no one could. have made me
believe in the sort of evening 1 have
spent tonight. I rubbed my eyes
several times, thinking maybe was
resurrected, living in another world"
''E don't think the millennium has
come quite yet said Mr.. Ward, mot

and Morton seem to have made a lit
