One of the most successful BAN
quets ever served in the First Meth
odist church of this city was given
Wednesday evening under the aus.
pices of the Epworth league. 1t was
very well served by the Queen Esther
circle.
The program was handled in a
most efficient manner by the toast
master, Miss Addie e. Smith, who
was introduced in very appropri-
ate manner by Miss Ethel Smoyer.
To the latter great credit is due for
bringing about such a splendid So
cial gathering at the close of her
most excellent services as head of
the social department of the league.
Rev. G. w. Jennings was first
called upon to respond to the toasts
Chips This he did in his usual
characteristic and efficient way.
Miss Fannie Goss was the soloist
of the evening and her selections
were much enjoyed by an apprecia-
tive audience.
1.-THE Laughing Philosophy" was
handled by Mrs. G. B. Hicks, super
intendent of the Junior league, in
such q manner as to make us all
feel that Of all PHILOSOPHERS which
have been a benefit to the world,
"The Laughing Philosophy" is not
the least. This subject was especi-
ally well rendered.
One of the most enjoyable num-
bers on the program was the song
by ladies' quartette, consisting of
Mrs. Lahman, Mrs. Watts, Miss
Strang and Mrs. Jennings. They
did great credit to themselves, and
the church is to be congratulated
on being able to produce such an
excellent company of singers.
1t was an inspiration to all pres
ent, to listen again to the words
of G. L. Mowry, one of the secreta-
ries of the Y. M. G. A. at Lansing,
who responded to the toast, Lest
we Forget" We shall not forget
Mr.. Mowry and the efficient work he
did for us while living here, nor shall
we forget the good advice given IN
his address Wednesday night.
Miss Merle Lemon of Oberlin col.
lege, played a piano solo which held
the audience fascinated. So great
was the applause from her listeners
that she played the second piece
holding In perfect silence all who
were present.
Perspective" was then given by
the president of the league, j. A
Pine. The toast master then made
the final address.
