 Two young men, Arthur Ward and Charles w. Wolfe, Jr., were present on the occasion, their first attendance upon Sunday services.
 One of the participants, a young miss, remarked that she liked the singing and the speaking, but did not like the learning.
 The accompanies were Rev. Charles W. Wolfe, Alice W. Pratt, Hattie 0. Robbins and Mrs. N. o. Ward.
 We were struck with the excellence of three or four of the numbers, but forbear mentioning names lest it should be deemed invidious.
 Much credit is due to Mrs. Wolfe, Miss H. o. Robbins, organist, Miss Mabel Cummings, teacher of the Gen. ter school, and others for the training of the school, decorating, etc.
