LECTURE AND RECEPTION. The Litera-

delightful gathering at the North church
parlors on Monday evening, when it was
the privilege of the members of the other
study clubs of Belfast to be their guests.

in behalf of the entertaining club,
announced the first number on the
program, selection by male quar-

sang "The Bells of Shandon," and in re-

the speaker of the evening, Rev. A. A.
Smith, mentioning the fact that the Litera-
