The Men and Religion Forward Move ment meeting at Masonic Hall on the evening of Feb. 27th, was a success from every point of view. The room was filled to it's capacity, the addresses were interesting and to the point, the supper provided by the ladies was boun- tlful and everything served of the best. About 100 sat down to the tables aud after the wants of the inner man were satisfied the "feast of reason and flow of soup' commenced. Hon. L. J. Kicker son acted as toastmaster, and by his address at the opening and by subse- quent felicitous remarks did much towards making the meeting what the promoters designed it should be, viz, successful. Speeches were made by J. E. Calhoun, 0. l.. Gold, William Oliver, MT. Southwjck, Dr. Robinson, Rev. Mr. Voorhees, of Lakeville, and others. This meeting being a preliminary one, will be followed later by others for forming permanent organization when the real work of the movement will be taken up.
