fifteenth anniversary on Friday even
inglast. The program which consisted .
of music and addresses was interesting
throughout: Special selections were
rendered by a chorus choir, and very
pretty quartette was sung by Misses
Minnie P. Richards and Edith Evans,
Messrs Herbert Dixie and Edward
Lank. Addresses were made by Prof.
I'D. Brooks, Rev. H. L. Bunstein, and
Rev. Mr.. Turner, from Dover.
Pictures Of Frances E. Clark, founder
of the Christian EndeavoT Organiza-
tion. and John Willis, former secretary
of the united Societies. were presented
the senior society by the intermediate
department.
An interesting paper was read by
Rev. H. l.. Bunstein, on "SOme Remin-
iscences of the Society" who, after a
few preliminary pleasantries said
The only drawback from our reasons
for congratulatiOn, was the large num-
her Of those who had gone from us.
He named the first three presidents,
viz: w. P Shockley S Wilson Ennis,
Nv. X Wells, Jr., and two 'ther-,
Frank Pierson and r l.. Hallett, as
among those whose loss they had to
denlo. and there were others who did
good service in other offices, but the
above named were still in the land OF
the living Two had gone to the un-
disco, cred country whose departure
we still mourn, viz: William FOulk
and Mallory Foulk both of whom oe-
cunied the Presidential chair. The
remembrance of these brethren were
pleasant and kindly. 'They have gone
before us in life's long procession, for
years it may be, but we can not tell.
We know that death is but the souls
nrooression, and all is we'll" But little
else has changed in the fifteen years
of the Society's life; our meeting place
is the same, and the methods are sub
stantially the same and the spirit also,
although Improvements nave oeeh
made, we trust.
IT had been remembered that there
had been no fallings out by the way
that the society had been free from
jealousy and suspicious, and had de-
veloped attachments and kindly feel
ing.
The good work of the Welcome
COMMITTEES in making strangers to feel
at home was praised. Reference was
made to the large number Of visitors
and their contributions by speech ana
nraver. Large sums of money had
heen raised by collections and enter
tainments. the latter had usually re-
,uired very hard work, but they had
been very successful in this line Most
ofthis money had been used for church
nurDoses. Time would not allow much
indnlgence in Renaissance Of special
occasions. He spoke of the social tha'
