lay cake, as it was filled with
lighted candles, was in the
lining room. Partners were
found by each guest drawing
candle and matching ribbons.
Around each taper was wrapped
I written question pertaining
to some division of art. These
questions were answered cover
the teacups" After dinner
talks were made by each of the
invited guests and these little
talks were by no means the
least enjoyable part of the
feast. Later all joined in sing
ing "Blest be the tie which
binds our hearts" Rev. John
Williams then invoked the
Divine blessing and the future
guidance of God for all present.
The members in response to
roll call in the early part of the
