The music was a special feature of the service. All were glad to hear Mir, Paquetteis beau tiful baritone voice again in his solo and the duet by the evangelists was greatly enjoyed. The choir also gave an anthem which was we'll rendered. Altogether the Fast Day service this year was one Of the best ever held in this city.
 At the close of the service the Bap- list chorus presented Mir. Paquette a beautiful baton as u token of their es- teem and appreciation of his work as chorus leader during the meetings. The presentation was by Chorister Samuel Rich.

the part of the spectrum that appears
to persons with normal vision pure

the nature of pure yellow in the spec
