Tor is decorated with eight different pat

POST PRANDTAL EXERCISES.

The st-prandial exercises were pre-
sided over by II. H. Miller, retiring
president Of the league who in opening,
explained that the annual banquet had
been postponed in anticipation of a visit
from Mr.. Atkins. He then introduced
President M. H. Buckham who opened
his remarks by saying that he had not
attended the banquet for the supper only.
or in order to meet delightful people, but
more especially. that he might again
touch elbows with DR.. Atkins. He spoke
of the work that DR.. Atkins had started
among the young men of the church and
of it's results If the work, he said, had
not met with all the success among
young men that it meritcd. and many
of them were still found to be just a
little outside the church walls. it was
partly the fault OF the church. and the
danger might lie in many being too sell
fish in their definition of religion.
President Buckham Was followed by Or.
Atkins, who. as he rose was greeted
with long and warm applause. DR. At
kins touched at short length on his work
in his new field in the West and spoke
Of the feeling which he always had in
thinking of his friends in New England,
with whom he was associated during the
six years Of his stay in Burlington. lie
spoke of the feeling Of satisfaction it had
givcn him to turn toward the East ana
Of reV.siting again the scenes which were
filled with such pleasant "reminiscences.
In closing he said that the church In
Burlington should not stand still for
want of a minister. for, after all. it was
the church that made the minister, and
not the minister who made the church,
and he felt confident that the church in
Burlington still had Il brilliant future be-
