class Of the Christian Endeavor Society
of the Church Of the Covenant was held
in the chapel Monday night. The mem
beers are this year studying THE Nearer
and Farther East" under the leadership
of Miss Isabella Campbell, who has been
the class leader for the past three years.
The feature OF the evening was a
mock trial of "Civilization versus Islam.
Miss Josephine Dill was clerk of the cour:
and Rev. Tyler Dennet acted as marshal.
Mr.. Benjamin r. Johnson was counsel
for the prosecution and Miss Leslie Jack
son was attorney for the defense. Each
side summoned four witnesses. The clear
cut testimony of Mohammedan's slave,
a captured Christian, personated by Rev.
James NJ Henry. proved most damaging
to the prosecution, while the croSS-eXami-
nation strengthened the defense. After
the summaries of the respective attorneys,
the judge, Miss Isabella Campbell, in
structed the jury, composed of the Misses
Barney. Williamson, Mcguire and Taylor,
charging them with the responsibility of
their verdict. After a brief conference a
verdict of guilty was rendered, and the
judge pronounced a severe sentence upon
Islam. The court adjourned amid con-
CALCULATIONS and expressions of approval
by the members and many visitors pres
ent.

all the Christmas presents we want to
give? 1t is strange how much easier il is
to long for things than to be thankful for
them. There is legend that tells of two
angels sent from heaven, each bearing a
basket in which they were to carry ba elk
to heaven. one the petitions of men for
new blessings and the other the thanks
givings which they gave for the mercies
already received. The legend tells how
they wandered up and down the earth
filling their baskets, and very the
angel of the petitions had a basket full to

ing was almost empty.

creased funds.

showed. the church membership was in
creased by 4O6. and the church receipts
from al sources increased $685.. IA. While

gain was 16;;.
