The Ex-Calibur Club Last Evening De
bated An Interesting Question.

From Fridays Daily
Last evening the EN-calibur club of
the Presbyterian church took charge
of the weekly prayer meeting and con-
Quoted it in Il manner pleasing to
both the pastor and to those present.
This meeting was conducted in the
form of debate. the subject of which
was: RESOLVED. that the church at
present has greater opportunity to
advance Christs kingdom in North
America than in Asia. Messrs. RAN.
dali and Balm supported the airirma-
tive, while Mcssrs. Pass and Ferguson
stood for the negative. Both sides
put up interesting and instructive ar
guments but no judges were appointed
and no decision rendered. Had there
been Judges they would have had Il
difficult task in making decision.
for both sides were worked up care
fully and delivered in good style. W.
took charge OF the meeting after the
opening and managed it in a manner
creditable to himself and to the club.
This is the first time this season
that the club has been before the
public and the spirit of the debate
shows that the members are getting
into the spirit of the work and are
determined to make something out of
their efforts. Much of the credit for
the way the club is running is due
to MIR. Norby, who is critic of the
club
