munion service, which this denomi-
nation always observes at night.
This adds an element Of realism to
the observance of this memorial oc-
casion besides being in literal con-
formity with the facts of that sad,
historic night of sorrow.
Several Of the delegates and
among them some of the most gifted
preachers left on morning trains.
What They Think Of Us.
The Reflector asked number OF
the leading delegates for an express
sion of their opinions regarding Abb
lene and their impressions of their
visit. This is what they said:
d. w. Heise, Canadar-As q Cana
dian have been very favorably i'm
pressed with Abilene as a residence
city. Unique features are noticeble
when compared with the average
Canadian cities. The spacious lawns
surrounding the comfortable look
ing homes especially appeal to me.
I have wondered however why the
Kentucky Blue" is is permitted 70
flourish like the wool on the back OF
shaggy dog. The shrill appeal OF
the hooking bird, the cooling OF the
dove, together with the cordial re-
ception and hospitable spirit mani
tested on the part Of the citizens OF
this Western land impress one with
the thought of a New Jerusalem
w. J. Myers, MasSilIOn, OhiO-ln
my coming to Abilene have been
| able to realize the object Of my COM
ing, namely helping in a small way
to help further the cause Of Christ
and getting real spiritual uplift'
In addition will ever have pleasant
recollections of the beauty OF your
city and the surrounding country
and especially Of the cordially with
which we have been received anc
APPRECIATE very much the respec'
, shown us by the press.
