last few days at Storer have been
filled with things Of vital interest
to school people.
Rev. Chas. C.. Mitchell of Paw
tucket, p. L., recently gave thrill
ing lecture on JOB, OR THE
WORLDS ASH HEAP. 1t was u
masterful presentation OF the worlds
greatest drama. Rev. Mitchell and
Pres. and Mrs. Mcdonald were in
college together and his coming was
the result of that friendship.
The readings given by Miss Hen
rietta Vinton Davis were greatly en-
joyed by the college circle and
townspeople who heard her in An
thony Memorial Hall last week.
The lecture course this year has
been unusually strong. The students
have thoroughly enjoyed the ten
lectures, recitals and concerts which
have been given here this year.
There are yet two and probably
three more to be given. Storer en-
joys the unusual advantages in re-
spect to such matters, in as much

rail- road system and is enabled to
obtain choice talent easily.

completed an excellently made cab
met for the especial benefit of the
classes In agriculture. In it are ar
ranged and classified all the bulle-
tines, charts and other printed mat
ter to which references in those class
es are frequently made.
It, is understood that Rev. r. B..
SnoWden will not return to this
charge next year. He is a man Of
deep 'piety and Fectitude Of purpose
and conduct. His gospel Is one that
is direct and uplifting. The Meth

services will be very Fortunate

held here.
