Rev. A. E. Luce, who was returned by the
conference to the Belfast pastorate for the
third year, much to the qualification of the
parish, had expressed wish that no reception
be held for himself and wife on their return,
as is sometimes customary. His parishioners,
however, thought differently, and delightful
surprise was planned, following the prayer
meeting, which was attended by large num-
Der of the young people of the parish. The
meeting was held as usual, and after the bene-
dction the pianist, Miss Lurena Macomber,
struck the chords for the opening bars of
America to which tune the young people
sang an original welcome song that took the
pastor and his wife completely by surprise
At its close they were escorted to the plat
form and seated, while representatives of the
various church activities voiced hearty well
come for each group. Mrs. C. L. Wright
spoke for the Ladies' Aid Society," Miss Mildred
Darby for the Queen Esther Circle, and Albert
