Thursday evening Bishop ". B. Waters
was given a complete and pleasing sur
prise party at the ward house. 1t being
the custom of the bishop to attend choir
practice every Thursday evening at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs Wakeham he gra-
ciOusly volunteered to get the song books,
which were purpOsely left at the meet
/ ing house. As he approached the meet
ing house through the dense fog he found
everything dark and cherries and upon
unlocking the door, the electric lights
flashed a surprise and revealed to his
astonIshed eyes about 185 guests and two
enormous bdnQuetiDg tables extending the
full length Of the house, ladies with an
elaborate feast of appetizing viands. He
soon recovered his cOmpOSuTe, apolOg1Zed
for not having on his dress suit and en-
tered into the spirit of the occasion, and
all had a royal &C ID time. Brother Hen
~ Mitchell made an appropriate and fit
ting address of welcome in which he set
forth that the occasion was for the pur-
pose of showing in what high regard and
esteem Bishop Waters is held by the
people, after which the bountiful spread
was served. Five different times was the
banqueting tables reset to accommodate
the people who had gathered together to
bid the bishop good cheer. After the
feast, dancing was INDUCED in until a
late hour, when they departed for their
homes feeling that the bishop indeed ap-
preciated their demonstrations of esteem
