Keeping the world in touch with the

This is not much of an exaggeration of

President leaves Beverly until he reaches
his journeys end he is seldom out of

A DAY OF GREAT INTEREST AT
THE METHODIST CHURCH
WITH BAPT1sM AND A FINE
SACRED CONCERT.

In point Of a~ttendances at the
public services Sunday School and
Epworth Leagues OF the First Meth
odist Church Sunday was probably
never surpassed. The main auditor
ium, Sunday School rooms and gal.
leries were all filled at both services.
The people seemed pleased to get
back into the church after the great
evangelistic meetings in the taber-
nacle. The pastor, DR.. ]. S. Hoag-
land, conducted the morning service
es and received a great number into
the fellowship of the church. The
entire morning service was given to
the baptism of little children, adults,
and the formal reception into full
membership, it was a scene never to
be forgotten when, from all parts
of the auditorium. the people press
ed forward to the altar filling all the
available space far back into the
aisles. The little children were first
baptised, then the adults. 1t was an
impressive service. Many strangers
and visitors fingered at the close to
express their pleasure in witnessing
the service and taking part it 1t. At
the conclusion of the reception SER
vice while the congregation sang
many responded to the call Of the
pastor and came forward and gave
their names to him for membership.
There will be another reception SER
vice 500 for many who were unable
to be present Sunday.
In the evening the church was
crowded to its capacity with an au-
dience to hear the sacred concert
given by the choir, under the direc-
ton of Prof. E. w. Hobson. Four
numbers were given by the choir Of
twenty-five voices, two Of them from
the Seasons" by Hayden, and two
others, cat the End of the Sabbath"
by Lansing. an Easter selection, and
"Shout Ye High Heavens" by Chad
wick. The ensemble work OF the
choir in all the numbers was excel
lent and they measured up to the
full standard Of ability. The con-
cert, without doubt, was the best ev-
er presented by the choir, and it was
a great pleasure to listen to the
grand music that was given. Prof.
Hobson has reached a high degree of
perfection with his singers, and they
respond with great accuracy to his
direction. Three solo numbers were
given, Miss Myrtle Weddle singing
ST Have Walked With God Today"
Miss Laura Saul giving "My Redeem
er and My Lord" and Miss Nina Ha-
ger presenting BE Merciful to Me,
o Cod" These three soloiests gave
their selections in excellent voice and
there were many approving remarks
made over their singing which was
indeed pleasurable. Miss Ford con-
tributed no little to the success of
the evening by her intelligent accom-
paniments on the pipe organ and the
three selections she played. These
sacred concerts to be given frequent
ly in the future.

and McCarty and one or two other
visiting priests. The choir rendered
several very fine selections and their
music was highly appreciated by the
visiting knights.
With the services of the morning
concluded the work of initiation was
begun in the afternoon at the lodge
room, and it was packed to the limit
by the visitors and the local men.
The three degrees were put on by
teams from Woonsocket, Aberdeen

of Mitchell.
The work of the day came to a
close with a magnificent banquet,
which was served in the city hall at
10 O'Clock, and which was in charge
of the ladies OF the Catholic church.
The tables and the large room pre-
sented a very pretty appearance with
the long rows of tables with flowers
and the national colors being drap-
ed around the room. There were
375 guests seated at the tables.
Handsome monogram menu cards
were at each plate.
While the banquet was being
served the Koolish orchestra pre-
scented a fine musical program.
With tempting viands served by a
large number of young ladies par
taken of, E. L. Meisch, of Alexan-
dria, called the men to order and
a program of toasts was given. Ad-
dresses were given by J.. r. Dalton,

were timely and Of an interesting
and entertaining character. The vo-

were received with hearty apprecia-
