The heated term having set in. the place of meeting was transferred to the Country Club house, beside the bay shore, and in certain reach of the cooling breezes, and there the pro- gram was rendered and the Vice. Regents hospitality enjoyed to the utmost.
 The club house was transformed into scene of beauty Two handsome flags were on either side of the entrance steps, and the galleries and club room were dec orated with flags bunting and flowers, the colors of the Chapter, blue and white being carried out in the decorations.
 The Chaplain. Miss Meta Thompson, opened the program with the following original invocation:
 Grant us, O Lord, the heart to keep
 Thy heroes in remembrance proud, That through their long, unbroken sleep
 Their praise may echo sweet and loud. Grant us, o Lord, the heart to still
 The vain, the idle, sinful boast But that each breast may know the thrill That moved that noble, valiant host The thrill that moved the silent band That stood at the dawn Der Bunker Hill And dared the foe invade their land, In firm reliance on Thy will. | Grant us. o Lord, the heart to love The freedom they so dearly bought, | That all the years to come may prove Their children worthy of their thought. Grant us, O Lord, the heart to bear Like them all trials of our faith; | And may each deed, be but the prayer | That we may ne'er forget their death. Grant us, Lord, the heart to live
 For Thee, for freedom and for land, | That to our country we may give | The patriots trust, the patriots hand. Grant us. o Lord. the heart to die That we may join the gallant band | Of those who stand with Thee on high, Whose blood was shed for Fatherland. And grant us. Lord, the heart to pray, l Thy boundless goodness lead us still, | That freedoms light may shine for aye. l AS once 1t shone on Bunker Hill!
 Oh, grant that holy steadfast light, | Thy children lead to Christ and Thee, | And gleam through errors darkest night, | To keep them pure and true and free. Grant us o Lord this humble prayer 1 In mem'ry of Thy sacred dead, Their fame and glory by Thy care, On us Thy beams of mercy shed. | Amen.
