The next speaker was Prof. d. A.
Haylor, Superintendent of the public
schools, who was given the subject of
the Schools and the Church" Prof.
Haylor has been Sunday School and
Church worker during the greater
part of his life, as well as one of the
ablest school Superintendents in the
State, and as the hour was getting
late he did not wish to consume much
time, but in brief speech gave many
reasons why the schools and churches
reflected the character of the people
of the community, and demonstrated
in charge of teachers and superintend-
ents who were not only capable in
structors but those who were iden-
titled with the best moral and educa-
tional interests of the community.

fore, that the influences of the school
room, and especially that powerful in
fiuence exerted by the teacher, should
have in it that which makes for re-
finement and a general uplift of the
mind of the youth in their desire to
reach out and grasp only that which
is good? Prof Haylor made a brief
but splendid speech.
Rev. Reading of Toledo was the
last speaker on the programme and
as was the case with the other minis.
ters he was given a clear track and
right of way to talk at or on any
thing he desired. Rev. Reading has a
pleasing personality, is strong
speaker on any topic, and made a
very pleasing speech touching chief.

sionary work and the desire of the
members of all the churches to bring
into fellowship the great army of
men who are not now numbered as
members of any church.
I Before saying goodnight Rev. Web.
ster was called to say word of good
cheer to the guests. He briefly stat
ed why the meeting was held, and his
great happiness in seeing so many
of the people present. Only a little
over year ago he came here per-
feet stranger and sometimes he felt
lonesome, but now he knew, person
ally, every man in the audience and
many others and had been re-
ceived SO cordially by all, that his
heart was filled with joy and graft
tude for the happiness that came to
him through his acquaintance and as
sociation with such people.
! The programme was interspersed
with musical numbers which were
well received. The orchestra with
Grant Sarver, cornet, Harry Charles,
trombone, John Emch, violin and Miss

bers that were received with rounds
of applause.
One TO the most pleasing features
of the evening was the surprise
sprung on the meeting by the ladies
who had been working in the kitchen
preparing the banquet and who had
done their most excellent work behind
/ closed doors, and had not made their
appearance in the banquet hall, when
suddenly the doors opened and in
came procession of ladies with Mrs.
Roy Hartshorn at their head with a
look on her face that indicated that
the psychological moment had arrived
when that bunch of mere men should
be informed that they were not the
only power that made the world go
round, and she proceeded to prove her
contention by reading the following
| toast:
I'VE may live without poetry, music
and art,
We may live without conscience,
We may live without heart;
We may live without friends,
We may live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks"
After firing this bomb at the mere
men" who gave approval by vocifer-
Gus applause, the ladies retired to
their fort in the kitchen, but were
given a cordial invitation to come
