for help of superannuated ministers anG
other matters of private nature including
the examination papers and letters of ref
erence of the candidates for the ministry.
1t was routine work of the most tedious
sort, and many of the members admitted
that, in spite of its Importance 1t was
rather dull. There were no charges against
any of the members, and nothing, ii was
said, developed that caused even a no
ments stir.
But meanwhile there were stirring things
going ON in the basement. A volume OF
business came before the laymens associa-
ton large enough to have kept many slow
moving deiberative bodies in session for a
week. 1t all had to be done in the one day,
though, and from beginning to eld there

an unusual one, but 1t is not often that 1t

some what checker board effect. There
is a high pitched roof with a gable In the
English fashion. The roof is a good speci-
