The Flower Mission service

The programme was carried out in
full, and it was delightful occasion
to the two hundred and fifty persons
gathered In the beautiful lawn of Mrs.
Orears. The company was composed
mostly of old ladies and invalids, the
"shut-ins" of our city, for whom con-
veyances were provided.
1t was beautiful scene to witness
the annual reunion of these old peo-
pie and invalids, who are scarcely ever
seen out of their rooms. The meeting
was presided over by Mrs. A. Hughes
in her usual kind and graceful man.
ner, and all recognized her as ,the
moving genius in religious and philan-
thropic work in our city.
Bro. Truck introduced the services
with prayer and scripture reading,
with appropriate comments on the
fifteenth chapter of John, Bro. Wal
lace followed with a fine address on
the essentials of Christian influence,
bringing out the thought that char
acter is the essential thing and the
foundation of all good influence. 1t is
something that projects itself beyond
the sphere of immediate activity.
With Christian character and life
of prayer these sanity old women and
invalids are exercising an influence all
unconsciouly, that is not confined to
the walls Of their sick chamber. Bro.
Kokendoffer gave a fine address on
Evan Roberts, as an instrument in
the great Welsh revival The mes
sage that his life and work brings to
us is that there is work for everyone
and that through prayer we are to
learn implicit obedience to God. An
excellent paper was read by Mrs. Ro-
land on the life work Of Miss Jennie
Cassaday, and a beautiful memorial
paper by Mrs. e. D. Graham,
The excellent song service was con-
Quoted by Mrs. s. p. EmmonS. After
these interesting exercises, refresh
ments in the form of Ice cream and
cake, and beautiful flowers were dis
tributed to all present. As a very
appropriate climax to this delightful
reunion, the carriages were formed in
procession and ride taken around
the square and out as far as the Old
Ladies Home on the Boulevard Thus
ended an afternoon the memories of
which will be fondlY treasured by all,
both those who gave and those who
received.
