OF the members of the church and con-
gregation met at the pleasant rooms of L.
L. Wiley adjacent to the church where
i bountiful supper was served by the ladies
OF the society. After an hour spent social
ly the exercises of the evening commenced
in the church which had been decorated
i in most exquisite taste with plants, ferns
and flowers. The exercises commenced
i with fine singing which was interspersed
