pointees acquitted themselves with
credit. The meeting was pronounced
a success, calculated to do
great good, as it was educative in
it's tendencies. We dof our hats to
the good women Of our land and
country, who seem to be SO much
more interested in the welfare of
our boys than the men, who often
times haven't time to give to mat
tiers that they seem to think of such
small Importance, Save the boys and
girls and prepare them for useful
ness should be considered of enough
Importance to engage the attention
even of men. though they dc. not
always give the matter the promi-
nence'that our mothers and sisters
do.

of the Baptist church, preached. an
excellent sermon yesterday morning

of a good congregation. Parksville
is blessed by having these able, CON-.
secrated men to minister to us in
Holy things"
